Dark Marble

We’re on cruise control straight into Spooky Season. If you’re looking for something Halloween-y that’s not like skulls and blood, this look is for YOU. I love the way the mica flakes pop through the jelly black, creating an oil-slick rainbow when the light hit’s it just right.

Step 1: After you cure your base gel, gently press Green Rainbow Mica Flakes and Blue Rainbow Mica Flakes into the sticky inhibition layer, encapsulate with a thin layer of art gel, cure.

Step 2: Apply two coats of E-206S Black Martini, curing between coats.

Step 3: Apply a thin player of Pre-Art gel, cure.

Step 4: Apply diagonal dots of Black Bleeding Ink, give it about 10-20 seconds to dry out a little and then using the Pointed brush with alcohol (be sure it’s not too saturated) gently pat the ink so that it dissipates in to a marble-ish pattern. Let dry completely and add a thin layer of Pre-Art Gel, cure.

Step 5: Repeat step 4, but place it on the other side of the nail.

Step 6: Apply No-Wipe Top Gel and cure.
