Welcome to my first post of Creative Nail Week! This week, all posts will be nail polish related: you can expect fun tutorials, polish swatches and tips and tricks. My nail polish tutorials that I do here on the blog tend to be pretty popular (along with a guest post that I did), so I thought a whole week of these posts would be fun!
To create a look similar to the one above, you will need:
- A disposable cup, filled with water
- Tape
- A toothpick, or something similar
- 3-5 nail polish colors (or use black and white!)
- Nail polish remover
 |
| Colors used: (from outer edge to center) OPI Charged Up Cherry, OPI Flit a Bit, China Glaze For Audrey |
Once you have a design you like (don't worry about getting super technical), carefully dip/submerge your finger into the polish design. If excess polish starts to come up as you remove your finger, gently use the toothpick to "shave" off the excess.
A few tips:
- If you don't want to spend hours removing excess polish, tape down to your knuckle. Also, try not to dip your finger in at the center of the cup; try the edge.
- Tape as close as possible to your cuticle!
- Make sure your cuticles are clean, and you have no hangnails
- Use q-tips to remove excess polish
Happy Marbling!

I used to dance all the time and I am still in many musical theatre and drama productions - theatre is a passion of mine and I also love cabaret and burlesque, in the future I hope to work as a costume/ fashion designer so to see that come through as an obvious influence means a lot.
I love your nail polish idea, if I do use it I will reference you on my blog... haha

Dare I ever suggest you should change your subject matter Amber? I just have a hard time feigning an interest in nail varnish. (Guess I'm not the target audience.)
