- Gel Base Coat
- White, Gray, Black Gel Polishes
- Fine Detail Nail Art Brush
- Bloomed Gel or Marbling Ink (optional)
- Non-Wipe Gel Top Coat
- UV/LED Curing Lamp
- Prep nails: shape, buff, and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, cure under UV/LED lamp.
- Apply 1-2 thin coats of white or light gray gel polish as the base color, curing each layer.
- While the final base coat is still tacky (or using a blooming gel layer), strategically apply dots or lines of varying shades of gray and black gel polish. Gently swirl and blend with a fine detail brush to create soft, diffused marble patterns.
- With a clean, very fine detail brush, delicately draw thin, sharp lines of black or dark gray to mimic natural marble veins, crossing and branching for realism. Add subtle gold accents if desired.
- Cure the design thoroughly, then apply a generous layer of non-wipe gel top coat for a high-gloss, smooth finish, and cure one final time.
Techniques
Expert Tip
Achieving the photo-real effect lies in layering and understanding light. Don't overblend; let the colors melt naturally. Use a very fine brush for veining, varying the thickness and intensity to mimic genuine stone imperfections for ultimate realism.
