Recently, many girls have chosen marble nail art, since it is characterized by an unusual look and allows you to stand out favorably from the crowd. The process of creating such a manicure is complicated, but if you wish, you can do it yourself.

The stone effect is created in several ways.

• Waterless technology. Divorces are formed using ordinary cellophane. In this case, no water is used. To work, you need to pick up several tones of gel polish and cut 10 pieces of cellophane in advance. First, a base is applied to the nails, it is dried under a UV lamp, then the plates are covered with a colored background. For example, if you want to get a pale pink marble, then the nails should be painted white. When the main layer has dried, other colors are applied to it, cellophane is applied, performing movements in different directions. As a result, a pattern is created that looks like marble. In order for the texture to be neat, it is necessary to choose a gel polish of a proven brand and a thick consistency. At the end, the plate is covered with a finishing agent and dried in a UV lamp.

• Water technology. Thanks to this method, it is possible to obtain more interesting and beautiful patterns consisting of many colored stripes. In addition to a container with water, you must also have a gel polish for work and before work, your hands should be covered with a nourishing cream - they thoroughly lubricate the skin around the nails with it. The greasy base protects the skin of your fingers from varnish and allows you to quickly remove paint residues from it. To perform this technique, water is poured into the container, then gel polish of a different palette is dripped into it so that at least ten layers are created. Then, using a needle or a toothpick, the varnish is mixed until streaks form. The fingers are lowered into the water in turn, and when they are removed, unusual patterns appear on the surface. The remains of gel polish are removed from the skin and a transparent fixer is applied to the plate.

In addition, fashionable nail art can be created with a special marble gel polish. This effect is much easier to create than previous techniques. Since the gel polish contains special marble particles in its composition, it allows you to get interesting compositions. This tool is also easily applied to the surface of the plates, lasts a long time and does not lose its original appearance. To make the design attractive, you need to choose a thick varnish with a dense texture.

After that, the marigolds are painted in the main color and re-dried in the lamp for no more than 120 seconds. Colored gel polish is poured into a bowl of water one by one, creating several layers. With the help of a toothpick, patterns in the form of lines, chaotic zigzags or spirals are formed on a colored surface.

The paints must be mixed with quick movements. The finger is placed parallel to the surface of the water and gently dipped into the liquid for 20 seconds, waiting for the "marble streaks" to adhere to the surface of the plate and create bizarre patterns. It is important to ensure that no gel polish remains on the skin around the nail.

The resulting pattern is dried in a lamp for 120 seconds, then it is covered with a finishing agent, dried for another 180 seconds and a special oil is applied to the cuticle.
