Nail art has evolved a great deal in the last few years. Gone are the days when women simply chose a single color, maybe red or pink, to paint their nails with. Just like everything on this earth, nail art has evolved into a completely new species. There are numerous and a wide variety of nail art designs that women can now use to make their nails look attractive. One technique that is increasingly becoming popular amongst nail artists and nail art lovers is the marble nail art. It is one of the most creative and unique techniques of painting your nails with the most beautiful and attractive designs that you can think of. Also known as water marble nail art, this technique is tricky yet easy to use. However, you should have all the necessary equipment and tools for using this technique.
The Water Marble Nail Art Technique
The history of water marble technique goes back to years before 1990s, when it was developed by professional nail artists in the Japanese salons. It wasn’t until the 1990s that this technique came to the knowledge of the general public. The popularization of this technique was carried out through commercial publications by shopping centers. In 2010, this nail art technique evolved to include methods of using different products such as the acrylics and gels. This technique gained popularity all over the globe through features in magazines, through websites, videos, and polish makers.
For creating marble nails designs, you can make use of two different styles – the free dropping or free dragging style. The free dropping style includes dropped lacquered colors into the water, either straight or diagonally. In the free dragging style, patterns are dragged with the help of a toothpick. The patterns may range from simple circular or complicated designs such as marble, flowers, etc. Now that you know the different styles of this technique, let us discuss how you can actually use this technique.
The Marble Nail Polish Technique
For creating the designs of marble, nail polish of whatever colors you choose has to be dropped into the water. There are a few tools that you would require to carry this out. What you will require is a container filled with bottled water, sticky tape, base coat, top coat, tooth picks, and a fast dry nail spray if you have one. Once you have selected the nail polish colors you want to use, you need to drop them into the water in a way that they create circular patterns. One by one you drop all the colors and then create a pattern of your choice with a toothpick.
You are to first apply a base coat on your nails and then a top coat, which should preferably be a matte color in order to give a great effect to your marble nail art. Before you dip your finger into the container, make sure to cover your finger and cuticles with the tape. You then dip the finger into the container at an angle of 45 degrees. While your finger is dipped, use a clean toothpick to pick up the unused nail varnish. Once you have done that, remove your finger from the container and either spray it with the fast dry nail spray or leave it to dry. You can then remove the tape from around your nail and clean up any nail polish from your finger using a nail polish remover.
