Water Marbling Technique From NYFW

For DEGEN's Spring/Summer 2015 show during NYFW, celebrity manicurist Casey Herman created custom water-marbled designs that perfectly complimented the trippy, psychedelic feel of the clothes. Here's how to recreate the look!

Water Marbling How-To:

Step 1. To create the look, Herman started with a foundation of either White on White or Sun Upon My Skin, both by China Glaze, dropped in a cup of water.

Step 2. She then randomly placed two drops of three bright accent shades around the base color.

Step 3. Using a SuperNail® Orangewood Stick, she drew a couple lines through the colors to gently swirl them while still maintaining a bold wash of each.

Step 4. Nails were dipped into the water as vertically as possible to avoid creating bubbles, and then removed from the water.

Step 5. Once nails were dry, Herman finished with the award-winning Seche ViteTM Fast Dry Top Coat.
