• Get the Look at Home:
  1. Water Marble Method: Prep nails, apply base coat. Paint accent nails white or nude, let dry completely. Apply liquid latex or tape around cuticles. Fill a small cup with room temperature water. Drop alternating colors of turquoise, blue, and white polish onto the water surface. Use a dotting tool or toothpick to gently swirl a pattern. Dip your nail flat onto the pattern. Clean excess polish from water surface before removing finger. Remove latex/tape and clean edges. This takes practice!
  2. Easier Drag-Through Method: Apply white/nude base. While wet, place dots of turquoise, blue, and white polish. Use a fine brush or dotting tool to gently drag through the dots to create swirls.
