Black and white marbling is a fantastic look for nails, and it allows you to keep a neutral vibe while making an anything but humdrum fashion statement.
Giving your nails a marble effect isn’t only stylish, it can be super fun too.
Marbling is usually achieved while polish is wet, and the thicker the polish the better. Gels also work well with this look. Since it’s always best to work from light to dark, start with a white base coat.
Before it dries, make a small dot of black polish in the middle of your nail.
Using a toothpick, drag thin, wispy lines out from the black dot. Because your white base coat should still be wet, the two colors will mesh and create a veined, marble look everyone will admire.
Though this trend can be achieved with almost any type of polish, get creative by using different polishes with different shine levels and textures.
For a dreamy look, try using whites that are opalescent in nature and will grab the eye when light hits them. Polishes with a glittery finish can also punch up the marble effect and add a little pizzazz.
The black on white effect can be reversed, and black can be the dominant color.
This process can be trickier and you may have to work faster to achieve the marbling before the white disappears. However, this look can be quite striking and allows you to indulge your inner Goth.
A classic design that can be as wild or as tame as you wish, black and white marble nails are a bold choice.
