Remove your fingers from the water. Have a tissue or paper towel ready and carefully wipe off excess water and polish around your nails and from your fingertips. The polish on the water will slowly dry out and may come off on your fingers.

After the marbling is dry, carefully remove the tape around the fingers. Do this slowly so that the edges of the pattern on the nail don’t lift.

Step 12:
Use another toothpick to lift excess polish off the water before you’re ready to dip your next finger. Leaving it on and adding more polish will cause the marble to clump. If you have a lot of excess, consider changing the water together.
