The marbleizing nail art technique is so simple — just swirl colors together to make them look like the technique namesake of marbles — and so flexible. You can create a never-ending stream of different looks just by switching up the color family, changing the medium, or tweaking the direction of the strokes.

If you don’t quite understand how to marbleize nails, we’ve got video tutorials on our NAILStv website. You can watch these videos for free. Simply visit www.nailsmag.com/nailstv, then search for the below video titles.
