How to create Marble Nails (Without Water)

Don't get me wrong, I like creating marble nails using water as it's a funky method and the results are lovely, you're also able to create different patterns but what I don't like is how messy it is. Today I'm going to show you how to create marble nails without using water, it's simple, easy and most of all, not messy!

What you will need:

  • White nail polish
  • 3 other nail polishes of your choice. I opted for neon pink, peach and pastel yellow. 
  • Sandwich bag

You may also want to use nail polish remover and pointed cotton wool buds for any errors (nail polish around the nail).

If you would like to create marble nails without using water, all you have to do is follow my nice and easy steps.

Step One:
Apply one coat of the white nail polish to your nails. 


Step Two:
Apply splodges of the 3 different nail polishes to your nails. 




Step Three:
Place your nail onto the sandwich bag and fold one end of the sandwich bag over your nail. Pat your nail gently, you'll notice that the nail polish merges together. 



Step Four:
Repeat step three. Repeating step three creates more of a marble effect.


And we're done!



It's simple yet effective. I cannot wait to try this using other colours too, I'm thinking navy, grey and black would look cool in the Autumn/Winter months!

I hope you liked this tutorial and if you have any questions or requests, please feel free to comment below!

  5. That's a good idea, especially for nail polishes that are a bit water resistant. I found it really hard to get some of my Barry M nail paints to marble so think it'll give this a go. Thanks :) xx

  14. I tried it, and when I pulled the bag away from my nail, the white coat came off a little with it =/ And I had painted them white the night before so they were completely dry. The bag seemed to pull the color off and spread more to the sides so they ended up white in the middle. But this was my first time trying, so maybe I just need a little more practice. I'll definitely be trying it again, because even though they didn't come out like the picture, they still look cute :)
