#1 Print Nails
Paint your nails with a base coat and two coats of light colored polish. Put alcohol(vodka works perfect)in a glass - just enough to soak your nails in.Cut small pieces of newspaper (large enough to cover your nail) When the polish is completely dry on your nails soak them in the alcohol. Cover your nail with the strip of newspaper and remove very slowly. Let dry and then apply a top coat.
#2 Marble Nails
1. Fill your cup with some warm or room temperature water. If the water is too cold, the nail polish will seize up.
2. Choose the polishes you want to work with; keep in mind the opacity of thepolish you are using, if its too sheer, it might not look right.
3. I like to begin with the lightest color. Load up the brush and let a big drop ofpolish fall into the water. Continue with the other colors until you have a fewconcentric circles of polish in the water.
4. Using the toothpick or orange stick, drag through the polish from the edgetoward the middle. Continue to drag the stick through the polish until you find adesign that you think looks pretty.
5. Optional: tape around the edge of the nail to protect your finger from becoming covered with nail polish. Scotch tape works perfectly for this.
6. Holding your finger horizontally, dip your fingernail into the glass, making sure it is completely submerged.
7. Use the toothpick/orange stick to trace around your finger, gathering up all theunused nail polish in the glass.
8. Lift your finger out of the glass, and let dry before taking the tape off.
9. Continue with your other nails until you have a full set of beautifully watermarbled nails.
10. Slick on your favorite top coat.
