Fill the pan with 2-3″ of water. I marked the side of the pan with a sharpie, that way after I dipped each mug and lost water, I could easily refill.

DIY Marble Mug Swirl Nail Polish

Add one or multiple colors of nail polish depending on your desired marble effect. Use a toothpick and swirl around the nail polish.

Dip White Coffee Mug into water with Nail Polish

Dip the mug directly down into the water. Pull out immediately keeping the mug upright. You only want to dip once, do not dip multiple times. Once the mug dries you can flip it over, and dip the other side if you wish. They look super cool with only have the mug done as well.

Add multiple Colors of Nail polish in aluminum Pan

The marble effect is so cool. We mixed red and green, however it did turn out to be more of a pink than green.

Dip Mug and Pull out of water

One cool thing is after a few minutes the nail polish begins to harden and you can use a toothpick to remove right off the water. The water is then clear again and you can use other colors without having to dump the water.

I love a good DIY project, and helping people create warm and cozy spaces in their homes. So if your someone who is ok with me being a hot mess express, a legging wearing, top bun sporting, kind of girl, then let's be best friends! You can never have enough friends right? I am a natural born nurturer, who always leads with my heart. I have learned it is ok to say no sometimes! My advice to you, take chances, in the end, you will regret the chances you did not take.
