So what better way to celebrate red and black week than with my very first tutorial. Firstly know this isn’t great, I did try it once before and it came out much better. Secondly I would like to appologise for the really bad iphone pictures.
Anyway Black and red marbled nails, I can’t remember where I forst heard about this concept but I have heard it mentioned in a few places. It is certainly not an original idea.
This is what I used to achieve the look

Firstly apply a base coat of clear nail polish.

Then apply one or two coats of red

When that is dry add a couple of drops of black nail polish to a container of water.

Dip each finger into the water through the black

You should end up looking like this

The surrounding mess can be cleaned up with a bit on nail varnish remover on a cotton bud

I then finished off with a top coat of clear glitter, but that didn’t come out on the pictures,
Products used
- natural collection nail varnish in crystal clear
- Rimmel 60 seconds polish in Rapid Ruby
- Mabelline express finish laquer in onyx black
- CK nail varnish in sheer sparkle

What a great tutorial! I’ve heard of this process but never saw the exact steps. The photos are very helpful, too. I love the end result!
