📝 Instructions: Crafting Your Cosmic Swirl Nails
Achieving this marble effect requires quick work and blending of colors before they dry or cure.
- Prep Nails: Clean, file, apply base coat. Cure if using gel.
- Apply Dark Base: Apply 1-2 thin coats of your dark base color (black or dark blue). Cure each coat if using gel.
- Create Marble Swirls:
- On the tacky layer of your cured base (or on a thin layer of wet, uncured top coat for better blending), apply small drops of indigo, purple, and optionally light blue/teal gel polishes.
- Using a fine brush or marbleizing tool, gently swirl the colors together to create the smoky galaxy effect.
- Add Glitter & Stars: Before curing, sprinkle fine glitter over the wet design. Carefully press silver star foils or place tiny star decals onto the nails.
- Cure: Cure the entire design thoroughly.
- Seal: Apply a glossy top coat over the entire design for shine and protection. Cure thoroughly.
- Finish: Cleanse any sticky residue. Apply cuticle oil.
