- Apply an emerald magnetic gel layer over a black base. Use a magnet to pull the shimmer diagonally, then cure.
- Apply a layer of clear blooming gel over the cured nail (do not cure).
- Dip a detail liner brush into white gel polish mixed with a drop of black gel. Paint thin, squiggly, organic marble veins across the surface, letting the blooming gel diffuse the lines into realistic stone patterns.
- Flash cure for 10 seconds to stop the spreading.
- Trace fine gold chrome paint or gold foil along the edges of the marble veins to mimic natural metallic mineral veins running through the quartz. Cure fully and top coat.
