1. To create a marble decal, start by dropping Pure White into a cup of chilled water. Then, add a drop of Charcoal in the center of the white polish. Alternate between white and black polish until the pattern consists of roughly 20 concentric rings.
2. Drag a dotting tool through the polish, starting at the edge of the circle and moving toward the center. Wipe the tip of the dotting tool and repeat. Repeat Step 2 up to 15 times.

3. Allow the marble decal to set for 10-15 minutes. Then, slip an orangewood stick under the edge of the marble decal and gently pull it out of the water.

4. Lay the marble decal flat on a paper towel to dry.
5. Prep nails, then apply 1 coat of Pure White.
6. Cut a nail-sized piece from the marble decal. Then, while the polish is still tacky, use tweezers to apply the decal on top of the polish.

7. Using a cuticle pusher, trim off any excess decal around the nail bed. Then, use scissors or a nail file to remove any excess decal at the free edge.
