Drag marbling is so fun and easy. I'm just addicted lately! I got two Essie polishes a few months ago. They're red and pink so I thought they'd go great together! People keep sending me little drag marble compilation videos so I was feeling super inspired. I made a video tutorial this time! Let me know what you think! It's only my second video tutorial, I think it's much better than my first one, but you be the judge!
Polishes Used:
Essie - With The Band (Red)
Essie - Cascade Cool (Pink)
How To:
Start with your base color. You can do 2 coats if the polish you're using is thin. If you do this, let the first coat dry and then start the next step with your 2nd coat of fresh wet polish.
While the red polish is still wet add three dots of pink quickly. Drag marbling is done on very wet nail polish. I put a big dot in the middle of the nail and two smaller ones at the tip and base.
Use a dotting tool, needle, tooth pick, etc and swirl through the polish in any pattern you like. For this design I took a dotting tool and dragged it into the dot with a curving motion. Then I picked up my tool and started a new line into the dot still doing a curving motion. The dotting tool picked up some of the pink polish and that's what makes the little pink rounded spike things on the outside of the swirls.
Honestly, this was pretty confusing to try and type out. I really hope it made sense and I made the video tutorial just for this reason! Hope you guys aren't too confused!
I also want to invite you guys to come join a new Facebook group that I just became admin for. It's Nailart Adventures on Facebook! We have contests occasionally and it's ever growing with new members all the time.
I'm also introducing a YouTube new playlist with all my nail tutorials to make it easy to find them all. Right now I only have 2 but I plan to make lots more!
Have you gotten into drag marbling lately too? Send me your pictures for a possible shout out on my social media accounts! ❤❤
