Steps

Gently shape the free edge; leave the cuticles intact.
Start with clean, dry nails. Apply base coat according to its label.
Apply thin coats of your chosen regular polish and let each layer dry.
Over a dry pale base, draw two loose curved lines with contrasting regular polish and a fine nail-art brush. Vary their width and direction instead of making a repeated grid. This is a flat line-art interpretation of the stone pattern, not a translucent salon marble recipe.
Add top coat following its label and allow enough drying time.

Amber agate bands. Use this original concept as a visual reference. The home version uses regular polish and does not reproduce extensions, raised decorations or specialist salon effects.

Before you begin

Use only regular air-dry polish for this guide. Follow the product labels, ventilate the room and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use damaged or painful nails.
