How To Use Vaseline To Hydrate Marble Nails?

This tutorial demonstrates how to create Water Marble Nail Art on your nails using vaseline instead of tape. The process involves filling a cup with room temperature water and dripping nail polish onto the surface of the water. Once the polish spreads out into a circle, place a latex or Vaseline around the nail to protect the skin from staining. If the scoop method is difficult, lift the polish from the water with a wide nail art.

Lou used five shades from our new collection to create a water marble base for her tribal nails design. The oh-so-funky 70s vibes from our range work perfectly with the tribal theme. To make a custom water marble pattern on your nails quickly and easily, cover the skin around and underneath your nail with Vaseline or coconut oil (making sure to avoid the nail itself).

To water it down, put petroleum jelly around your nail to keep extra polish off. Once the base coat is dry, apply liquid latex, glue, or Vaseline around the nail to mask off the skin. To create a marble nail effect using water, start by filling a cup with room temperature water and dripping nail polish onto the surface of the water. Remove any existing nail varnish, file and shape the nail as desired, then apply a nail strengthener, followed by a base coat. Once dry, apply Vaseline all over the nail.
