The Digit-al Dozen is a group of nail bloggers who post nail art based on a different theme for a week each month. You can find out more on the Digit-al Dozen Facebook page and Instagram. This month's theme is New and Improved! I'm looking forward to seeing what the other ladies come up with and sharing my designs with you!
I am starting out the week with a dry marble mani. Dry marbling is a technique that I have done before but feel I could improve at. My previous attempts at dry marbling were just okay and I don't think I've ever posted any on my blog. So here is my new and improved version.

I think the choice of colours and finishes has a lot to do with the final result when dry marbling and I'm quite happy with how this one came out. I chose a black and gold colour scheme as this was actually my mani for New Year's Eve! I used 2 coats of Kiko 275 and while the second coat was still wet, I applied dots of Essie Good as Gold and marbled the two colours together with a small dotting tool.

I like the abstract, swirly effect and the mix of the creme and metallic textures together. I think this came out better than any of my previous attempts and I may try some more dry marbling soon!

This drag water marble looks fantastic! I've only tried this technique a few times but I've always used two colors.

ReplyDeleteThese are so stunning! The perfect NYE mani but also something I'd love to wear all the time. Great work!
ReplyDeleteWelcome welcome and these are fab! I did a needle drag today for the end of the week and this style of technique is so not easy. Props for yours, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour dry marbles turned out really really good! I can't quite master the dry marble/needle drag, I guess I'll have to keep practicing.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! You did such a great job!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I haven't tried this technique but it has to be quicker than my normal watermarble technique.
ReplyDeleteThose two colours go so well together!
ReplyDeleteI love the color combination, it pairs so well with the overall marble technique. Gives it a very classy fancy feel! Great job on these.
