Additional Tips for Perfect Water Marble Nails

To achieve perfect water marble nails, consider the following:

Choose the right nail polish – Opt for polishes that dry slowly to facilitate optimal spreading and blending.
Nail preparation is key – Begin with clean, bare nails, and apply a base coat for a smooth polish application.
Master the technique – Drop the polish gently onto the water’s surface and manipulate it with a toothpick just before dipping your nail.
Use room-temperature water – It will minimize the possibility of creating unwanted bubbles in your water marble design.
