Design marigold has long ceased to be simple and monotonous. After all, every girl tends to be original. Therefore, from year to year, nail masters propose new ideas, drawings and use actual colors for this. In 2017, one of the most fashionable is the marble design, which looks very fresh, stylish and unusual. And most importantly, it can be done not only in the cabin, but independently.
Marble manicure 2017: color combination
Marble manicure consists of smooth stains and lines, which are created by mixing several shades of lacquer. As a result, the décor should have similarities with the natural structure of marble. If you achieve this result, the nails will look amazingly beautiful.
The following colors are most often used to create a stylish marble effect: white, red, blue or black. This allows you to make a design that will look as natural and as close to the original as possible.
However, nail designers offer to experiment and mix brighter shades to create designs in the form of other gems: ruby, turquoise, malachite, jade. Such drawings will differ from natural minerals, but they will look really luxurious. To create these patterns we recommend using colors such as blue, emerald, purple, gold and others.
Keep in mind that for mixing shades from the same color range, it is better to use no more than two varnishes. A combination of contrasting varnishes should always be diluted with a neutral beige or white color. Thanks to this design will look more natural and harmonious.
As for textures, you can use different options: matte, glossy, pearl, with a metallic sheen and even holographic varnishes. Each of them looks its own interesting and unusual.
Marble nails themselves look great. But you can additionally decorate them with rhinestones, bouillons or combine with another type of design.
Techniques to create a marble manicure
As already mentioned, marble manicure can be done at home. There are several techniques that allow you to make such a design with ease. But each of them gives slightly different results, so you choose.
Water design
The first option is considered one of the most simple and exciting. For it you need to prepare a small bowl or a glass with warm water, a toothpick, and two varnishes to create the texture of the stone. To begin, cover the nails with a base coat of varnish and wait for it to dry. Then the rollers around the nails grease greasy cream. This is to ensure that the varnish is not imprinted on the skin.
The next step - in a container with water we drip the necessary varnish and quickly form a toothpick pattern. Then we lower one nail into the water, so that the picture is fixed and take it out. All that remains to be done is to remove excess lacquer if it remains on the skin and cover the nail with a layer of top.
Some techniques of nail design suggest using this technique in a different way. After a drop of varnish has fallen into the water and sold, you can spray hairspray into the container. This will give the pattern interesting lines and significantly speed up the process.
Special lacquers for design
Marble design is done for quite some time. That is why there are many different ways to create it. Some firms presented collections of varnishes, which are designed specifically for this.
In one bottle, several shades do not mix with each other. But when applied, you get a stunning result in the form of a marble effect on the nails. The cost of such varnish is much higher than the rest. But it will relieve from special efforts to create this design.
Food film to create a marble manicure
To create an original design, you can use a simple cling film or part of a plastic bag. It is very important to use thick varnishes, as the liquid will not give a similar effect. To begin with, we recommend covering the nails with a base coat of lacquer and waiting until it is completely dry.
Then you need to very well crush the previously prepared piece of material. When everything is ready, cover the nail with a second shade and, until it is dry, begin to promakivat it with a piece of film. With its help, the varnish will be partially removed and thin colored streaks will remain. If the effect is satisfied, then cover the nail with a top.
The effect of marble acrylic paints
To create a stunning marble effect, you will need a palette of colors, a brush or a toothpick, and varnish. As in the previous techniques, you must first cover the nails with a base coat of varnish. But it is not necessary to wait until it dries out, since it will be a little more convenient to work with a slightly sticky base, and the drawing will be natural.
Then we mix the selected shades on a special substrate. For the first time, we recommend staying on black and white paint. Then draw a broken line with a thin brush or toothpick.It is very important that they have a different orientation and thickness. When the result will be completely satisfied, you just need to cover your nails with a layer of top.

Despite the fact that the marble manicure is self-sufficient, you can combine it with other types of design. For example, use a frame around the nails of a different color or decorate with rhinestones, bouillons and other elements. It also goes well with geometric design.
