Valentine's Drag Marble Nails



I came across this video and it just looked so easy and cute. I planned to do something totally different but ended up doing almost her exact design because the pink polish I had chosen (probably because it's old but I don't have many pinks to choose from..) wasn't cooperating with this technique. I also filed my nails to do a different design, but didn't end up doing that either.

Here's her video, and what I ended up with.



Polish Used


Orly - White tips
SinfulColors - Sugar Sugar
Confetti - First Kiss (Only used on my middle finger)
Sally Hansen - Instadri top coat


My Thoughts


You need to work a little fast with drag marbling. I think it would help to use a polish that stays wet longer. And you don't want to use too much pressure while dragging or you'll scrape the base color off and down to your bare nail. I used a toothpick but you can use just about anything around that size or smaller. It's taken me many attempts with this technique to actually get something decent, so be patient and don't give up! It's so easy once you get the hang of it!



I hope y'all liked this design. Feel free to share pictures with me if you try it!
Have a Happy Valentine's Day!
