How to Marble With Nail Polish

Materials

  • New bottles of nail polish (some nail polishes gave us better marbling effects than others)
  • Room temperature water in a pan (that's deep enough for your item to be submerged in - we used a disposable baking pan)
  • Scrap paper (to cover your work area)
  • Watercolour paper (or you could try marbling other items too)
  • Disposable gloves or nail polish remover
  • Toothpicks
  • Popsicle stick

My niece recently received a bunch of nail polishes for her birthday, so I thought it would be an excellent time to try marbling paper with nail polish.

The results were amazing and they're made just using nail polish and water! We had fun choosing colours, swirling them around, and creating these lovely, colourful works of gorgeous art. Want to see how we made them? Keep on reading!
