Water Marbling Nail Art

Water marbling is becoming a hot trend these days in the world of nail art. Girls and Women want to learn "How To Do Water Marble Nails". We are going to share the best method, so you can do this technique on cool short nails or long nails!

How To Do Water Marble on Nails? 

And the cool thing about it is, it's one of the techniques that doesn't require any special talent with nail art at all. You don't even need a nail polish brush!

There are few nail accessories you'll need to do a fun water marble manicure, most of which you'll probably already have around the house, plus some polish and you've just about got it together.

The rest of the water marble supplies are listed below so you can create your manicure with as little mess and clean up as possible.

You can use any brand of nail polish or nail lacquer, although the newer and less thick the polish is, the better it will spread out into a ring as it drips into the water. Opaque and creamy polishes also work better for this technique than clearer polishes.

Glitter polishes may or may not work. Sometimes they're just a bit too heavy and instead of spreading out on the surface of the water, the bead of polish will just drop to the bottom of the bowl without ever breaking up.

What you'll need:

  • Assorted nail polish colors, starting with a very opaque white, which will be your base coat color, and two to three creamy opaque colors to do the marbling. For example, if you want to do a spring or summer water marbling manicure, you can use creamy pastel colors; fall season, add some rust colors and dark greens. Get creative!
  • A bowl of room temperature water. The temperature of the water is critical. If it's too warm or too cool, the polishes won't spread out when they drip into the water.
  • Q-tips or cotton swabs
  • Scotch tape or cuticle oils
  • Orange stick, needle or pin

Those are really all the supplies you'll need, unless you don’t like the design and you want to start over then you'll obviously need some nail polish remover.

The water marbling technique sounds easier than it is, but even nail art beginners can turn out some pretty funky and creative designs with a little patience.

Step 1:

Polish your nails with one or two coats of opaque creamy white polish.

Step 2:

Make sure your bowl of water is room temperature. You can fill the bowl and leave it sit for a while, or test the water coming from the tap and adjust it to room temperature yourself to fill the bowl.

Step 3:

Preparing your fingers for the process. Since you'll be dipping your fingers into the polish on the surface of the water, you'll no doubt get polish all over the skin and fingers besides just the nail bed.

To make clean up easier, you can do one of two things.

  1. Apply the Scotch tape around the nail, over and under the nail tip to cover as much of the fingers as you can. After you pull your finger from the bowl, remove the tape.
  2. Apply a generous amount of cuticle oil around your fingers, being careful not to get any on the nail itself. After you pull your finger from the water, simply use the Q-tip or cotton swab and nail polish remover to clean up the polish from the skin. The oil makes it easier to remove the polish.

Step 4:

Have all of the bottles of polish open, and ready, in the order you want to drip them into the water. One at a time, hold the polish over the bowl of water and using the brush, allow one bead of polish to drop onto the surface of the water. As it spreads out, drop the next color.

As you continue dropping beads of polish, they'll form rings around the surface of the water. It'll look really cool too!

Step 5:

Once you have several rings of colors, take the pointed end of the orange stick, or your pin or needle, or even a straightened paper clip, and gently pull through the rings until you have a marbled design.

Step 6:

Place your nails over the top of the polish design and carefully dip your nail into the polish, leaving it in the water, but not touching the bottom, until you clear the excess polish from the surface.

Step 7:

Using a cotton swab or orange stick, remove the excess polish from the surface of the water.

Step 8:

Slowly remove your finger from the water and remove the excess polish from around your nail.

Step 9:

Repeat the process for the remaining nails.

Step 10:

Add a clear top coat and you're done!
