Back in the day when my mum and I used to buy lots of Special FX nail art products (well, she used to buy them, I used to use them - cheers Mum!) we had dotting tools, except they were called marbling tools. So, on that basis, I used a dotting tool to do my marble today!
On the marbled nails I used a base of China Glaze Manhunt (such a fabulous blue), then added a blob of Barry M Matt White and Black, and marbled away.
I must confess, this was not how this manicure started out. Originally all the nails were supposed to have a little marbled corner like this, but I'd intended for them to be smaller, and as an accent nail my ring finger was going to be totally covered in marble. I guess I over marbled because it just ended up grey...
So, I took them off and replaced them with a gradient instead! I know my gradient isn't very smooth, but I actually quite like the rough effect (although smooth would have been better for this particular manicure!). Then I added a few rhinestones just to tie all the nails in together.
