When it comes to aesthetics, marble is often associated with chic and sophistication, and this also applies to marble nail designs. If this is the first post you read at The Mood Guide, I must tell you that I don’t write standard “best stuff” lists. I mean, you can always just type “marble nails” on Pinterest and find a ton of great ideas. What I do as a designer and storyteller to add value to you and not contaminate the internet with more repetitive content, is always associate images with the right aesthetic that will help you express the mood you are in or achieve the mood you want to feel.
What Moods Will You Achieve With Marble Nails
The marble effect on nails is usually a choice for those who want a chic and sophisticated manicure. White and black marble, especially are often associated with classic luxury.
When you visualize a white marble bathroom for example, what do you feel? A sense of wealth, I believe.
The Marble’s historical use in grand structures, sculptures, and palaces has created a perception of luxury and opulence associated with the material. Also, its cool and polished appearance when applied to the nail transcends that timeless sophisticated, and refined look to your look.

Below I will start with the classic: Black and White Marble nails for every type of nail, and then I will show you how the chic aspect of it also works in other colors with some stunning marble nail color ideas.

A beautiful classic, the white marble nail is perfect for the ultimate classy and polished high-end manicure.

Black and White Marble Nails
Here we replace that ultimate feeling of cleanliness and brightness of the all-white marble with a much more powerful rich aesthetic vibe. The golf foil also adds to the feel of luxury, and the example below shows us that even some glitter is welcome.
