The effect is unique and really changes how the marble turns out depending on how much the spotting polish spreads. To create this look:</span></div><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arimo;">Make drip marble decals on a silicone mat. For each decal, add a few drops of purple polish, with two drops of light blue and two drops of white spotting polish on top. I added a couple drops of clear coat on the sides to create some negative space. Then tilt the mat back and forth and side to side to create the marbled design. Once you've created enough for each nail, let them dry. (They should not be tacky to touch, and should be able to peel nicely from the mat.)</span></li><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arimo;">Working one nail at a time, apply a layer of top coat, then lightly press a decal onto the nail. Trim the excess with some scissors, then use a nail art brush dipped in acetone to clean up the edges. Then apply top coat to seal it on.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="Drip Marble Nails" border="0" data-original-height="2116" data-original-width="3395" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicaP16eopHezOo1q1C5iCr654mzsCyTComT_gUBMfeFcHSvtEqyhL6AEiQ4cGXPtpEsq_M-Gmas_4pd2xhHq1G1NzdXA1FXBt1SEcvb-IafHhb_MCd7eL3OlacrJZsRPECU5XgfbWe0xA79EUc-Y6p8vyuumG9AaH6u8bhoziZy1KPwaFHTyGz2IVf/w400-h249/DSC05438-1%20(2).jpg" title="Drip Marble Nails" width="400" /></div></span></li></ol><p></p>Lacquered Lawyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08327783704974548756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885109949501034188.post-12446222605804571672023-02-09T23:32:00.000-08:002023-02-09T23:32:07.398-08:00Lavish Leopard<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="Mauve Leopard Nails" border="0" data-original-height="2141" data-original-width="2141" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqzGtRGZmDw6jDQCJfVHUQvDKQCax2Y9REgFsl7G62hWDrlM4OPlf2T1nXpe-2iV56lXuROoUWANwF2k3q0YevFYOkcGuJ3pqe8TCQqev3LG-urepTKsHVtFo8UpFA1KZ7dRUZqISocV9gSMxq34BUx9raivA47B83NZcIU693vAzWqHUhNIJzH64w/w400-h400/DSC05411-1%20(2).jpg" title="Mauve Leopard Nails" width="400" /></div><span style="font-family: Arimo;"><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello 2023!
