This is such a pretty colour and the coverage is amazing. I could have left it at one coat if I wanted, but I had in mind to try out this dry marbling to create some pretty hearts. I first tried this technique out on my Valentine's Day nail art wheel which you might have seen over on Instagram back in February. This is so easy to do, but I love the finished effct. All you have to do it paint on another coat of your base colour, add a row of dots in a contrasting colour whilst the base it still wet and then drag a thin nail art brush down the middle.
You can use this technique for more complicated marbled designs as well. Madison over at Fundamentally Flawless has some great designs and I loved the swirl design she did at Christmas as part of her Advent Calendar.
The two purples I chose mix together beautifully to create the hearts. If you don't have a thin nail art brush you can use a toothpick or a pin. Just be careful that you don't drag the polish too hard otherwise you could end up creating bald spots on your nails. Also you do have to work quite quickly, but if you have a bit of a practice first you'll get the hang of it quite quickly. If you leave the dots of polish too long and they dry when you drag them together you'll end up wrinkling your polish.
Thanks for stopping by
