| Topshop's own marbling |
I've had a few friends ask me about the new nail marbling trend so I thought I would take one for the team and try it out. I'm not going to lie - it's not as easy as the finished article would suggest. It's messy, time-consuming and ends up using a fair bit of polish. Kindly Topshop have put together a little step by step guide in honour of their new Sandstorm collection. The brand suggest using their Sandstorm Nail Duos (as previewed in my post on the collection a couple of weeks ago) but they have already sold out! For my coral/gold look I used Topshop Nail Polish in No Love Lost, £5 (topshop.com) and Orly Mini Nail Polish in Luxe, £5 (Boots.com). Happy marbling! Sx

| The bullseye |
Step 1. Pick and choose your favourite colour combination. A mix of neon and metallic colours work perfectly together
Step 2. Apply one coat of white nail polish to act as a base for the coloured marble
Step 3. Pour a couple of drops of the first nail colour into a bowl of room temperature water
Step 4. Continue to add colours individually until you have created a bullseye effect

| What a marbelous thumb! |
Step 5. Swirl colours with a cuticle stick to create a unique pattern
Step 6. Dip the nail bed into the polish and allow the colour to settle
Step 7. Remove finger from the pool of polish and wipe around the outer edge of the nail to remove excess colour
