DIY Marbled Glassware

When graphic designer and artist Joanna Bean Martin shared with us her technique for marbling the bottoms of glassware with nail polish, we couldn’t wait to try it ourselves. Who knew it would be such an easy way to add color and pattern to your next tablescape or party? Remember, the brighter and bolder colors you use, the more the glasses will radiate and glow. Have fun!
   You’ll need:
  • flat bottomed glassware
  • variety of colorful nail polish
  • clear nail polish
  • a disposable plastic container
  • nail polish remover
  • painters tape
  • toothpicks








 Mask off the bottom of the glass with painters tape.
    Fill a disposable, plastic container with water. Open all the nail polish bottles and start                 dripping polish into the water, one color at a time.
    Layer the colors one on top of the other. Take a toothpick and pull out the polish to create a       swirly pattern, starting from the center. Work quickly as the polish will start to harden
    and clump up over time.







 Submerge the bottom of the glass into the polish. Allow the polish to collect around the sides 
   of the glass and pull out carefully. Little air bubbles may form but that is to be expected!
 Before marbling the next glass, take a clean toothpick and sweep up any excess polish from
 the water.
    Allow to dry completely before applying a layer of clear polish.
   Once everything has dried, remove the painters tape and touch up with nail polish
    remover and a cotton swab.
   Your glowing glasses are finished! *Glassware should be hand washed only.
   Bottoms up!
