11. Water Marble Swirls

The water marble technique creates mesmerizing, psychedelic patterns by dropping polish onto water, swirling it with a tool, and dipping nails in for a one-of-a-kind design. Unlike hand-painted swirls, water marbling gives you truly fluid, organic effects that are impossible to replicate exactly. For best results, use room temperature water and tape around your nails to keep the design crisp and cleanup minimal.
