My new favorite thing is nail polish marbling. Have you tried it? I decided to dip a few eggs and proceeded to work my way through two dozen eggs. It makes me seriously wish I had more colors of nail polish!
To marble some eggs with nail polish here’s what you need:
- Eggs. A lot of them. Because once you start you’ll want keep dipping.
- Nail polish in all kinds of fun shades. My Essie polishes worked fine this time, I think because I wasn’t trying to make a specific design. And silver polish was amazing!
- A plastic cup filled with room temperature water. This is very important! If the water is too cold or too hot, the polish won’t work.
- Toothpicks.
- Nail polish remover. You’ll need this to get the polish off your fingers when you’re done.
Lots of nail polish into the water. If it sinks, the temperature isn’t right. You want it to spread out over the top of the water. Have fun playing with colors! Then take a toothpick and swirl the colors a bit.
Your egg between your fingers so that you cover the least amount of surface area on the egg. Then dunk straight down into the water, hold for a second underwater and then bring it up. The polish will cover about half of the egg. Sit the egg in a carton or something and let it dry.
Have you decorated any eggs for Easter yet?
