Marble Nail Designs Are *Still* Trending—32 Need-to-Screenshot Looks I'm Loving
I've always gone wild for all things nails (I love to tell people I owned more than 100 bottles of polish by the time I hit middle school), but my obsession has reached fever pitch in the last few years. Nail polish brands and manicurists are getting more creative than ever before, and my Instagram and TikTok feeds have quickly become a feast for sore eyes where A+++ nail inspo is concerned.
However, despite the surplus of patterns and abstract designs circulating the internet lately, there's one nail design, in particular, that has continued to reign supreme: marble. Whether you want something more elevated and subtle (think white, opal, and metallic accents) or something more attention-grabbing and bold (neon, anyone?), there's a marble nail design out there that is sure to vibe with your beauty and fashion aesthetic. After all, your nails are the ultimate accessory, right? Because I truly couldn't stop downloading and taking screenshots, behold 32 drool-inducing marble nail designs you should most definitely save and bring to your favorite nail salon. Keep scrolling!

She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
