DIY Marble Coffee Mugs using Nail Polish 

The water bubbles are because you have 2 layers of polish. When you dip something use a Q-tip to clear away the left over polish all around it BEFORE you lift it out of the water. ( I used to do this on nails often.) Use the smallest water container to fit your project. Time not on your side so have all bottles open and ready to go. Also use distilled or bottle water for better adhesion.

Everyone had different opinions, but for me I totally loved the contrast of the white and then the colors. Thank you. And for people who may not like the music on these diy projects then just lower the volume. I am grateful that some one took there precious time to show the rest of the world something creative to do. Thank you so much! My niece loves art and she likes nail polish and I like mugs, we now have a great way to spend a fun time. God bless you so much for sharing!

This was interesting. Tip....use a balloon and blow it up, inside the cup and hold it closed. Then dip your vessel into your colors. The inflated balloon will hold the cup tight and allow you to immerse straight in.

I see others have addressed the foodsafe issue. This is such a great idea and I was super excited to see you’d dipped on an angle, which wasn’t going to require Mod Podge over the “sipping” area. These are darling and I think able to be modified to address foodsafe concerns. Thanks for sharing!!

Also I love this she chose its way better than other music I have heard. You did a great job! You voice is relaxing and fun. You made the diy way cute!

I used to do this type of craft work many years ago I used to use new white t shirts wooden brushes and what ever else I could use it came in handy for making Christmas gifts or birthday presents they were the number one seller each time I had a stall

Really cute! Tip: for the glittery look you want, try adding glitter to the mod podge or shake a fine glitter dust on the cup while still wet. Seal with a final coat of mod podge

I am a professional artist with many talents but I've never seen this done. This looks really cool. Thanks for showing this video. Your work looks great.

I had no idea that there was a Mod Podge to make items dishwasher safe!!! So cool! TFS!! Those are so pretty!

For some reason I am always appalled at the negative, hurtful comments that can't come from anywhere but a very angry, spiteful, mean spirited person. A lot of people who do these videos are learning as well as being nice enough to take their time to make a video for the benefit of other people. Why some people find it necessary to spend their time watching a free video, that was neither forced or a requirement, and then to find it necessary to deliberately try to tear the person down, I will just never understand. I just don't get mean people. There is something broken in you that causes you to be so angry that you have to lash out at someone who has not harmed you in any way. Please look inside your self and find what or who it is that you are so angry about and get that sorted out. It doesn't profit you at all to try to hurt someone else, as a matter of fact it causes you more problems and harms the person you are directing your negative, uncalled for comments toward . Just in case your mama never told you -" if you can't say something nice, don't say anything". Believe me, you would be a much better person and you might find other people might like you better.

This is such a cute idea. I LOVE those colors, especially the 1st one! Thank you. I hollered when you said, "...and no, I'm not making you one!" 😂😂😂 I have some ideas from this video. Thanks girl! Now, what I would do is put painter's tape around the rim and that would give it a clean edge plus keep the chemicals from making contact with my lips.

My 5 year old daughter watched this and was absolutely enamored by this. Anything rainbow is awesome as she says. Definitely a cool take on hydrodipping with household materials.

Very nice!! Awesome idea!! This will be added to our, "cool easy crafts", list! Can't wait to make these! Plus they'll also make super personal gifts to family members, from your children, who made these themselves! Thank you so much! Awesome!!

I just have to mention also the great way we can see very clearly what you were doing. A+

I made these for all of my family members for Christmas then filled them with their favorite candy.

Thanks for the "bag cover" idea:) Your mugs turned out Gorgeous!

This is a really neet and different idea!

I have read all the comments on this page and I'm astounded at the rudeness of some of these people who have wrote comments. This lovely lady has bothered to come on here to try out a project and share it with others. Yet what does she get, people saying it's trash and sloppy, insults about her voice and the music in the background, and people saying her video is boring ect, ect. Firstly why did you watch the video if it bored you, that doesn't make any sense to me at all. As for all the rudeness and pettiness, well I think some people need to get a life and seriously have a think about why they feel the need to be so nasty to others for no reason. This lovely lady chose to let us watch her do a fun project which I thought was great and something I'd like to try myself. Mostly she got lots of great tips and tricks on how to maybe improve the craft the next time she did it. Yet there's always a few in the crowd that like to act like kids and pull people down and be nasty. Why don't you just stop watching if you don't like the video? No one was forcing you to watch it , and it certainly wasn't something you needed to make derogatory comments about. If you haven't got anything nice to say, or good suggestions to offer then just don't say anything . There is nothing about this video that would cause offense to you or anyone, so instead of writing nasty comments, go away and put some effort into thinking why you are acting this way, and sort yourself out, and do us all a favour and go away, and come back when you've grown up...

Get your mugs at Goodwill they have way too many of them there .. we should recycle !

Beautiful. I really like the diagonal design.

Reminds me of Jackson Pollock painting. Super cute.

AWESOME!!! First time I ever seen this done on a mug. Thanks kindly for sharing. Beautiful!!!

Way cool! Good job. Thanks for showing me how to get it to stay on the mug.

Love these great idea to line the bowl

I enjoyed watching this! I am going to try this hack tomorrow maybe! I'm sold on the idea!

Looks really good

if you use epoxy resin it will be dishwasher safe and heat safe also you can dry it in the oven at 200 degrees for sbout 10 mins, with epoxy al need is a thin coat and let it dry for 24 hours and you will get a beautiful shine cup

There is a clear acrylic spray from modge podge that cures quick and lasts longer than standard modge ppdge

It looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

These look so cool. Thank you.

I try this nail polish to my flower vase it's amazing 🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙 sending loves to everyone ❤💕

Take a broomstick handle and cut it to where it's about 12 in Long and take a 6 inch piece of noodle from a pool and Slide the broomstick in the hole and glue it in place. Then you can take the noodle and stick it into the coffee mug which will hold it from the inside and then you can dip the coffee cup without even touching the coffee cup

i have hunted everywhere for what to put over the nail polish so it wont come off, i ended up giving up a year ago and today i ran across your channel. thank you. i loved this they are beautiful and i cant wait to finally get those boring white cups done that are sitting in my cupboard.

Your perfect for showing us this especially right around the holidays

Great idea...love it! ♥️ Thank you!

THIS IS SO CUTE! totally going to try it out ❤️👍

These are so darn pretty!!

I love this idea!!

These are really pretty!

Thanks for showing that I really enjoyed watching you and loved the way you showed how to fix as you went . I mess things up often because a lot of people on here make things look easy ....😊

Thanks for the video! I just tried this with my mom! So fun 🤗

I really like that idea it is adorable

Lovely

It took me years to work out someone who was so hurtful nasty mean cruel negative towards me and sadly that was one of my sisters not a stranger until someone very wise said “Patricia you can’t make sense of madness” omg it opened me up to heaps and helped me understand her makeup. Hope this helps oh and thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Pretty cool. Thank u

Love them!

This is really neat! Thank you for your video!

Just now found this video. I am so going to do make some of these for Christmas presents!!!

Thank you I love this vidoe!❤

It's beautiful

Nice idea 💡

Sooo pretty!

Cute!!. Fun idea

Wow girl, who would of thought. This is awesome. So simple. I'm going to do this w/ my grand kids. There going to love this. Thank you for sharing. 😁

Thank you for this video! Looks fun ❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖

For the air bubbles when doing marbling, use a hair dryer on low heat. It will also help with drying and to set the paint faster. So LOW HEAT to help with water bubbles and setting up polish faster. If you have a setting for low or high for amount of air pressure, start of low.

Great idea!,

Nice little project but I'd also recommend peeling the UPC stickers off the bottom of the cups and cleaning the residue off with the acetone first before dipping your mugs in the nail polish water.

I've done this project before. So fun for kids to do! FYI - don't use glitter polish if you want to put those cups in the microwave!

Beautiful. I am going to make these with my class.

The colors and pattern remind me of the backgrounds in school pictures in the 80s. Hehe Nice job!

If you really like the glitter, you can either use a glitter that doesn't have a clear base or you can apply glitter on a makeup sponge and dab it onto the mug before sealing it. Cheap glitter polish has more clear in it than glitter, but there are several glitter-dense polishes out there. Cute mugs!💚

When you dip the cup try spinning it as it goes under the water. That makes a cool design also. Instead of just dipping the cup straight down as you're dipping it in the water spin the cup around in circles

I love how those mugs turned out!!! Great job!

Mod Podge is PVA glue just with some water, I used to call it school glue (more likely to call it that in UK). I'm going to try using cut sponges to apply the nail polish so I can make shapes eg leaves,flowers & build them up. Very cool.

So cute

Okay y'all, I have a tip as a person that tried this DIY and it didn't work out so well for me. Please make sure that your fingernail polish DOESN'T have hardener in it. Us women don't have very good patience when it comes to waiting for our nails to dry, but it actually is really crappy when trying to do this and/or rocks.

I actually like these! I will do these with my nieces.

Try using a larger bowl and a hanger to hold the handle. To dip it further in.

This is so cute!! I think the glitter polish did what it did is because there was clear polish in there..... maybe??

You did a awesome job thank you for sharing !! You seem so sweet too !! God bless you !!☺💙

You can buy little black stickers after you dip the coffee cup and put people's names on it before you put the Mosh Posh

What a Cool and Fun Idea 💜

I did a test with the dishwasher test make sure you put it on the top rack. I always hand wash mine but if it was put in the dishwasher I know it's safe.

very nice and beautiful

Awesome

This is a cool idea, but I would not recommend putting the nail polish or mod podge near the rim of the mug or on the inside. These are not food safe and shouldn't be anywhere that touches food or your mouth.

I think I will give this a try...thank you...

I would definitely take that sticker off the bottom before dipping it in nail polish. Fun. I have done some planter pots doing this....

I love it

I think I would spread my fingers inside cup tight so I could dunk the whole cup.

I'd be tempted to use a blow dryer to get them dried sooner. They turned out fantastic! BTW, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and Kroger also sell Sinful colors.

Just loved your mugs. Great work on the 2nd one it's my favorite goof . The artist in my.🌷

FYI - a hair dryer will pop the bubbles in the nail polish.. or a heat gun set on a lower temp.. instead of going all around the cup with q-tips..

Very cool

Pretty

Really liked what u did, learned u can use regularly paints. But there is a lot more work doing it thatway. So keep up yourgood work doing it that way .😊

Just became a friend really cool work

Really liked the first mug, I think the second one was a little much for me personally but still pretty nonetheless! Love this idea, thanks for sharing! I think a Christmas mug like that would be pretty, light and dark green and bright cherry red and dark burgundy red and maybe some silver or gold. Love this!

The first one looks really good! Great job I've done something similar. You might want to take sticker off the bottom it's easy to forget.

Great video. 👍🏼 Lets not forget to take the stickers off the bottoms of the mugs if you buy them new. Easy sticker removal with your nail polish remover or you can heat them with a hair dryer then use alcohol to remove the residue. 😊

So cute. Love ur video.

This is a good idea for Bible School. Thanks for Posting☝

I didnt even know this was even a thing. Super cool to drink some coffee with these hehe

I dunno if I want to put my lips on nail polish or mod podge but great diy project! I would like to see a marble effect cup.

Wow

VERY COOL

These are super cute! I'm going to try them with my crafting group! You are amazing! Delete the negative comments - I would! ;)

The plastic bag isss genius helloooo!

Good afternoon, thank you for sharing your very well thoughtout art project. I have a question for you what type of Mod Podge do you use to seal your art projects. I’m going to try and make a couple coffee mugs to give my wife for Valentine’s Day. Thanks again for sharing your arts & craft project. Respectfully Peter
