Guest post at Eleven.se – Marbled nails

I was thinking about doing marble nails for a while when Eleven.se asked me if I could do a tutorial showing how to paint marble nails! Such a pleasant coincidence I thought! This effect is obtained by taking one more step beyond the traditional water spotted technique which I’ve used as one of the steps for these nails. The extra step is actually to do a saran wrap over the white before starting with the water spotted technique. If you want to see the steps visit the blog post here (the blog post is in Swedish though!). For the manicure I’ve only used two polishes, IsaDora Marble (haha, that’s a convenient name, isn’t it!) and OPI – Embrace the Gray. I actually wanted something softer than a black hence the use of Embrace the Gray.
