Why try marble nails?

Marble nails are sure to turn heads (in the best way) and are such a fun design option if you’re looking to try out some pretty nail art. Each marble manicure can look different from the next with different swirl patterns, making your mani more unique.

We also love that marble nails work all year round and can be customized to your preferred color palette. Try a pastel pink marble nail design for spring, vibrant blue marble nail art for summer and a dark, moody purple marble manicure for fall and winter. You can also keep it neutral with pretty golds, silvers, whites, nudes and more.

How to DIY marble nails

The biggest pro of this manicure technique is that you can DIY your own marble nails right from home—and it’s not too complicated! Simply add a few drops of your preferred polishes to a plate or other flat surface. Use a toothpick or nail spatula to swirl the colors together. Just be careful not to completely mix the colors, like you would if you were trying to create a new shade, rather swirl the toothpick or nail spatula through the colors in a snake-like pattern. Then, take a nail art brush and “scoop” up the swirl and paint on the nail. Follow this tutorial by @youngnailsinc on TikTok to see how easy it is for yourself.
