Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and while we are all probably contemplating the best hairstyles, outfits, and makeup trends we plan to showcase on that special day, we may be overlooking one of the most basic expressive mediums – our nails. Nail art is a huge trend these days and on the rise is a new marbling technique which involves swirling different colored nail polishes together to achieve unique patterns and prints. We combined this pink-infused holiday with one of the best nail trends out there to bring you this beautiful and easy nail tutorial. Enjoy!
 
What you will need:
  • At least two different nail polishes
  • Bowl of room temperature water
  • Toothpicks
  • Cotton swabs and nail polish remover
  • Tap
