This creative trick from Birchbox blogger Anna Norman will make you look like a manicure pro.

Try It: Start with your first color and apply a coat to all your nails and let it dry completely. Apply a coat of your second color to each nail and blot it with a small piece of crumpled plastic wrap before moving on to the next nail. Repeat the process on each nail, let dry and apply one or two layers of top coat to seal.

Why It Works: The plastic wrap pulls off some of the second coat of polish; what's left behind will look like a marble design.
