You have probably seen those neutral grayish marble nails when scrolling on Pinterest or Instagram. Well, it turns out that marble nails are much more than one uniformed nail design. You don’t have to do any research because we did it all for you. We are on a mission to prove you that marble nails are one of the most versatile nail design you could get. So we turned the internet upside down and gathered 25 of the most stunning marble nails designs that you might want to consider.

First things first, decide on the finish: matte, glossy, or metallic. Then, decide if you want to go all the way marble or with just do a few nails. You can opt for neutral all-marble nail design if you need something that won’t be too distracting. That’s one of the main reasons why we love marble nails so much – you can get both neutral or attention-grabbing nail design. You can pair marble nails with nude nail polishes to keep things classy and sophisticated. For an effect of surprise go for a color that isn’t that usual for marble. Vibrant colors are a great choice if you want to step out of your comfort zone. Don’t be afraid to try shades of purple, green, turquoise and so on.

Besides the regular marble design, you could ask your nail lady to get creative and take things in an abstract direction. You can achieve this effect by mixing colors or with metallic flakes. Another option is to add glitter to your marble manicure. Your nail lady needs to add glitter first, and then create the marble design on the top. This is a small but very chic detail that will instantly elevate a simple marble nail design.

If you are a nail maniac who likes dramatic nail designs, marble nails will satisfy your cravings for nail glam. Since the marble graphic is subtle by itself, you can level up on glam with 3D embellishments such as dazzling rhinestones. The marble base looks as good as a plain base. If you prefer smaller details go with gold or silver lines over the marble nail design.

One graphic- endless options. Marble nails are the nail design that is never boring. From soft manicures to bold sparky nail designs, marble nails are as versatile as the good old french manicure.

When in doubt, add some texture! Honestly, there are so many reasons to get a textured mani. First of all, you get to constantly touch and endlessly play with the texture on your nails. It’s addictive so don’t tell us that we didn’t warn you. So, let’s talk a bit about your options when it comes to textured nail art.

We are officially in the #babyitscoldoutside season, so make sweater nails your priority. The term explains everything. Besides sweater to keep you warm in this cold weather, you also need sweater nails to match your actual sweaters. This nail technique includes delicately applied gel in a cable pattern shape. If you want to be extra, take your favorite sweater at your nail lady and ask her to dress your nails in the same sweaters. After all, nails deserve a decent sweater in this cold weather. You know the drill from now on – a snap from your matching sweater and nails is a must for Instagram. You can combine this technique with different motifs. Since the holidays are approaching a holiday or winter-inspired nail art would be perfect for this time of the year.

Another option to add texture to your manicure is 3-D nail decorations. Everything from small stones to caviar manicure will add dimension to your nails. If you are a glamorous chic, a nail art that features rhinestone embellishments would be your favorite. There are so many options that is hard to make up your mind on one. You can combine these decorative elements with other nail techniques, spice up a simple mani with them or go full glam and cover your nails with dazzling stones.

For those who think outside of the box, a snakeskin textured manicure might be the best option. The colors don’t necessarily need to match, but the texture has to. Your nail lady needs to shape the gel in a way that will look like snake’s skin. To put all the accent on the texture cover your nails in one color. A shiny black snakeskin mani is bold gals’ favorite. Bonus tip: a stiletto nail shape is the best option for snakeskin textured mani.

You can also add texture to your nails with chunky glitter or regular glitter if you prefer a smoother effect. Glitter is a holiday staple, so now is the right time to flaunt glitter textured nail design.

Fashion and beauty trends are not only about clothing and makeup. Nails and accessories are a very important part of the woman’s appearance as well. If your nails are not on point, nothing feels right. And if you are a real fashionista that follows every new trend you have to know all the chic nail art designs for this season. Holidays are just around the corner so is officially glam time. You will have plenty of designs and colors to try.

This year fashion is all about unique and statement-making pieces. Most of the looks we see on fashion bloggers are exaggerated and involve maximalist jeans, shirts, coats and more. But nail art is moving in a different direction. Most of the trending nail designs this winter are minimalistic. That probably feels like the right way to go. Nails will balance out your over-the-top outfits.

But since holiday glam is always a must, you can flaunt glitter nails. If you are a real fan of sparkles, then you can mix both glitter and metallics. Nail accessories are always trending, so that is another way to elevate your manicure before the holidays.

The minimalistic nail designs are trending ever since the beginning of 2017. In winter you only need a small upgrade. You probably expect darker colors that fit the weather. But that will not be the case this season. The soft nude shades are here to make a strong statement. Also, the classic red is in style at every time of the year. You can choose any shade you like starting from fierce coral red to dark and burgundy tones. Another thing to add is some simple art that will only make your manicure more fun. It can be thin lines in another color, small dots or just a little sparkle.

When it comes to bolder shades, electric blue and gold or silver is the perfect match. Many celebrity nail artists did a fun French manicure using these colors and the results are stunning. Black is another classic shade that you must have at home. For the festive season, you can always match it with glitter in any color you want. Just like with the blue shade, this one also goes well with metallics.

Check out these gorgeous nail designs that you can try this winter. If you want to stand out, you’d better get creative and have the best manicure that fits the season.

These two statement shades will bring your manicure to a whole new level. Winter days are all about experimenting, so why not mix metallics with bold colors.

Okay, ladies is officially that time of the year when you can add glitter to everything without being judged. We know that there are gals that would have glitter from breakfast to dinner. Anyway, adding glitter to your makeup look might be a bit challenging. First, the fact that you don’t have many red-carpet-like events on your schedule might get in the way.

Second, glitter makeup looks are outstandingly gorgeous, but glitter can be messy at times. We all have to admit that glitter gets all over the place when we do our makeup. Plus you have to wake up at least an hour earlier in the morning to do a full face glam. And you can do this only if your workplace allows you to wear much makeup. So, it seems that sometimes you need to wait for a special occasion to wear glitter makeup.

Having all this in mind, we feel free to say that glitter nails are the best deal for all the glitter-obsessed gals out there. First of all, because you don’t have to deal with the mess if you get your nails done at the salon. Even if you do them by yourself, you’ll have to deal with the mess only once. And for a while, you will have cute nail design.

One of the chicest ways to flaunt a glitter mani is the nails-dip-in-glitter technique. This technique means that you have to add glitter only on the top part of your nails. It is a great way to tell the world that you get your fingers involved in everything glitter! If you want a more toned down glitter nail design opt for semi-clear, semi-glitter nail design. For a bolder effect chose contrasting colors. And finally, for the most dramatic results glitterize your nails from the first finger to the last. Choose your favorite color (not trying to influence your decision but royal blue, turquoise and millennial pink look insanely gorgeous in glitter version) and get glitter mani. This nail design is pretty simple. Try it at home if you don’t want to pay for a pro mani.

For extra glam mix glitter, rhinestones and other decorative elements for nails into one nail design. These over-the-top nail designs are only for the ones who don’t mind to have all the attention on their nails.

You can get a pro-like manicure without visiting the salon. The best thing is that you can get such manicure without much effort. Even if you are not the best at doing your nails there is still hope for you. The secret to a pro-like mani lays in your craft store. Get a bunch of tiny stickers that you like. Then take a look at the video to see how to recreate this cool manicure.

The first step is super easy. Apply two coats of any nail polish you like. If you want the stickers to get all the attention use white or some other neutral color. Lock the nail polish with a clear top coat. Then use tweezers to stick the tiny stickers on your nails. Add a bunch of different ones. At the end of the day, this look is all about having fun. Some of the stickers may be hanging over the edge of your nails. In this case, grab your cuticle trimmer to remove the ones that don’t fit perfectly.

Add beads to spice things up. Apply nail glue on several spots and place the beads on it. These tiny decorations will add life to your manicure. The final result is an intricate-like but super easy manicure.

You can’t go wrong because all you need to do is glue the stickers on your nails. Additionally, add the beads on several nails. We guarantee you will get a manicure that looks like is done by a pro. Feel free to experiment with the base color or maybe add some other decorations other than beads. Don’t forget to have fun along the way! You might even get requests to do this mani on some of your friends and family.

In case you were looking for a super cool way to upgrade your manicure, you should try doing matte nails. This type of nail art became popular recently, and now ladies are going crazy over it. Since fall is already here, we usually opt for darker colors. The matte nails, on the other hand, are very versatile. Even bright colors are acceptable for fall.

Burgundy is one of the most popular colors for fall. It is also one of the most beautiful and rich ones. If you want to flaunt matte mani, burgundy is the first shade to go for. There are also many patterns that you can add, starting with graphics, adding negative spaces, or even a minimalistic golden line. And if you love glitter, even better. Burgundy matte nails will look awesome if you add several glittery ones.

Another very cool thing to do is get ombre matte nails. The classic ombre is not a trend anymore. You will be surprised of how good your manicure will look. The matte nails can be done with both dark and bright shades.

If you decide to get plain matte nails, opt for a vivid hue. You can go with a bold orange one, magenta and even some shades of green. Black is one of the colors that ladies try to avoid for their manicure. But with the matte nails, it can look chic and elegant. You can add negative transparent spaces, that will make the design much more fun.

Check out this chic matte nail designs that can serve as an inspiration for your next manicure. If you are looking for the nail art that is perfect for fall, consider it found.
