- Gel base coat
- White, light gray, dark gray, and black gel polishes
- Thin striping/detail brush (000 size)
- Marbleizing liquid or rubbing alcohol
- High-gloss gel top coat
- LED/UV curing lamp
- Perform thorough nail prep, apply a gel base coat, and cure under the LED/UV lamp.
- Apply 1-2 thin coats of your chosen base color (e.g., white or very light gray gel) and cure each layer.
- Apply a thin, uncured layer of your base color. While wet, strategically drop small dots or lines of contrasting colors (e.g., black, dark gray) and use a thin brush or marbleizing tool to gently swirl and feather the lines, mimicking natural marble veins. Add a tiny touch of metallic gel for an opulent accent if desired.
- Allow the colors to bleed naturally for a moment to create depth, then carefully cure the design, ensuring no over-curing.
- Using a fine detail brush and a darker gel, add ultra-thin, sharp lines and subtle cracks within the softened veins to enhance the photo-realism and define the intricate patterns, then cure.
- Finish with a high-gloss, non-wipe top coat and cure for the recommended time, then cleanse with alcohol if needed.

Expert Tip

Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails dry for at least 1-2 hours immediately after the service to ensure full hardening of the top coat.
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to keep the skin hydrated and complement your elegant nails.
- ✓Avoid picking or peeling the design, which can damage your natural nails and the art.
- ✓If minor touch-ups are needed for a chip, visit a professional rather than attempting at home.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the shiny top coat using a fine-grit file, being careful not to reach the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with an orangewood stick; never force or peel the gel off.
