- Black & Silver Fine-Liner Gels

- Apply a gel base coat and cure. Then, apply two thin coats of a creamy white gel polish, curing each layer.
- Using a grey gel, create soft, irregular patches across the nail. While still wet, dab tiny amounts of blooming gel (if using) into these areas and allow to slightly diffuse for organic depth, then cure.
- With a super fine detail brush and black fine-liner gel, carefully paint delicate, branching 'veins' over the grey areas, varying thickness and direction for a natural stone effect. Cure.
- Repeat the vein process with silver fine-liner gel, overlapping some black veins and adding new finer lines to create multi-dimensional sparkle and depth, then cure.
- Apply a generous, even layer of non-wipe top coat, ensuring a perfectly smooth, high-gloss finish that seals in the intricate design. Cure thoroughly.

Expert Tip
Achieving 'photo-real' marble is all about layering thin colors and using a very light hand for vein work. Don't be afraid to build up your depth with translucent layers and vary the intensity of your vein colors for the most natural, three-dimensional look.
