5 steps to nail marble magic

Okay, so I recently found out how to do "Marble Nails" using only
a glass of (room temperature) water, nail polish and a toothpick. The
results are stunning if done correctly and definitely beats painting your
nails a solitary colour.

Things You Must Have:
1. Glass of (room temperature) water
2. Toothpick
3. As many bottles of different coloured (newly bought, preferably unopened)
    nail polish as you want, although about 3-4 bottles is recommended.
4. Nail polish remover
5. *Optional* A top coat

Steps:

*Pre-requisite* Paint your nails a bright colour as your base.

1. Take the glass of water and use your nail polish brush to dip some polish
    into the water, waiting until it spreads across the water. Then take some other
    polish colour and drop a bit into the center of the first one. Repeat process till
    you like the colour pattern you see.

2.  Then take your toothpick and draw a pattern in
    the swirls of spread nail polish.

3. Dip your nail inside the water and blow on the surface of the water
    for about 10 seconds.

4. Use your toothpick to remove the nail polish on the water. (Just run the toothpick through
    the polish in the water and watch it stick to the toothpick.)

5. Remove your nail and remove the excess polish with the nail polish remover.

6. *Optional* Wait till it dries, and cover your nails with a top coat for a shiny effect.

Have fun! Refer to the pictures in this post if you're confused, or you can ask me any questions
