Marbleize Your Mani

… & the Fashionlush DIY marble collection continues on strong!

First it was my laptop, next came the bar cart, then it was a perfume tray…. & now my nails.

Clearly, I’m obsessed.

I’ve been wanting to master a DIY marble mani for a while now, but considering I have the shakiest hands in the universe (& very little patience), nail art has never been my strong suit. So, when I caught wind of this whole water marbling nail polish thing, I figured I’d give it a go. It’s like tie-dye for your nails, that requires absolutely zero skill.

Perrrrrfect.

Check out all the how-to deets below & if you decide to try a project from the blog be sure to snap a pic & share on Instagram w/ the #FashionlushDIY so I can peep it :).

DIY Marble Mani

» nail polish remover
» scotch tape
» q-tips
» a small cup of room temperature water
» black  & white nail polish
» a toothpick
» top coat


Step 1: Tape off your nails using scotch tape.

Step 2: In your cup of room temp (very important!!!) water, start adding drops off polish.

In the video you can see I used mainly black polish with a few drops of white as I was going for a black marble look.

After I was all done, my lack of patience kicked in, & I smudged my nails. So, in the picture you can see it’s a bit lighter, this was my second attempt in which I did mainly white polish with just a tiny drop of black.

Step 3: Dip your nails into your water marble. Move quick & don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect– in the end once you add your top coat it will all make total sense & look just like marble.

Step 4: Let dry for a bit & then slowly peel off the tape. Once all peeled off, clean up any extra polish w/ nail polish remover & a q-tip.

Step 5 & 6: Finish with a top coat & let dry fulllllllly (seriously though, keep your hands to yourself till 100% dry!!)
