Watercolour Sharpie Marble Nail Art
Hello readers,
Today I have some super easy but still super gorgeous nail art to show you. I was inspired by this post on Chalkboard Nails and this Instagram tutorial by @celinaryden. She did the sharpie marbling technique with gel polish but I thought I would see if it worked with regular polish. Also, instead of sharpies I used BIC Mark It Fine Point Permanent Markers. I think any marker will work as long as it has alcohol-based ink.
I started out with a base color of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Untrodden Snow - a soft white creme with a subtle blue shimmer. Then I drew some random lines using my permanent marker in Playful Purple, dipped a flat brush in isopropyl alcohol and dabbed it onto the marker lines to dissolve and spread them. For my second layer I repeated the same technique with the colour Hot Aqua. For the third and final layer I drew on dots instead of lines in Playful Purple and then dabbed alcohol right in the center of the dots to make them spread out. I waited for my nails to be completely dry (only takes a minute or so) and sealed everything up with a coat of CND Super Shiney top coat. I then took an angle brush and acetone remover to clean up the few spots on my cuticles where the ink had spread too far. Here are the results. I am in love! This was so easy and the result looks like a watercolour painting. I also love how the shimmer from the base colour still peaks through.
