Looking for a fun, supercreative nail-art DIY [1] to occupy more time spent at home? Well, you might not believe it, but you can use cling film to create a marble- or crystal-look manicure in a few steps. It might take a little bit of practice, and you definitely require a few pieces of equipment aside from the cling film, but who doesn't love a good beauty hack [2], right?

Plastic-wrap nail art is one of the latest trending techniques for unique gel manicures [3] and involves painting the nail with a polish or thick builder gel, then spreading cling film over it and pressing on the nail to create texture. Once it's dry and the texture is created, you can paint over it for a multicolor approach or dust glitter on it for a metallic marble effect. File down until smooth and seal with a shiny topcoat, creating a galaxy-like new set that will have everyone asking you about your nails. Of course, as with any art, the options are limitless, so keep reading to find our favourite picks from TikTok and Instagram, and get some nail inspo for yourself!
