Just like a marble countertop can instantly elevate your kitchen or bathroom decor, the same can be said about your nail art [1]. Inspired by the design you often see in home magazines, the marble-nails trend offers the same look but with the added benefit of being highly portable. Plus, unlike its distant cousin, the squiggly french tip [2], there are many variations to choose from.

In fact, the type of marble design you opt for is up to your imagination. When re-creating this look on your nails, many technicians step out of the quintessential single-color minimalist nails [3] that have become increasingly popular; instead, you can lean on all sorts of colors and finishes. Lizzo [4], for example, previously showed off a dainty marble manicure featuring pink and white, while Megan Thee Stallion briefly wore something similar, with hers featuring a brown-and-white color palette.

How to Do Marble Nails at Home

If you prefer an at-home manicure, marble nail designs are one of those trends you can easily get at home. Since it's similar to the look of Kintsugi nails [5], the process is actually almost identical.

After adding your preferred base coat, use gold or silver chrome flakes, or a metallic nail polish, to achieve the marbleized effect. With a nail-art brush, you can make lines that "resemble your favorite tile, pottery, or marbleized look," celebrity manicurist Mar y Sol Inzerillo [6] previously told POPSUGAR. For a more "intentionally carefree" look, aim for a design that resembles uneven cracks. Finish it off with a topcoat, which can be shiny or matte, depending on the look you're going for.

The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to marble nail art — options are only as limited as your imagination. So if you're looking for some inventive ways to wear the trend, read ahead for a little inspiration.
