Have you ever wanted your nails to radiate timeless elegance with a modern twist? Well, this week, I decided to go for a design that exudes sophistication—white marble with delicate gold accents.
Inspired by the understated beauty of marble and the way it pairs so perfectly with gold, I wanted this look to feel classic yet trendy. The clean, white base symbolizes simplicity and balance, while the swirling marble effect adds a touch of intricacy. The gold flakes scattered across the design elevate the look, adding a hint of luxury and shine.
Calm yet ambitious, grounded yet open to a bit of sparkle, the design felt like a reflection of my current mood:
The finished look

The design took about an hour and a half to complete, but it turned out better than expected. And don't forget the best; it's a perfect match for any outfit or occasion, and every time I look at it, I’m reminded of the beauty in blending contrasts.

Tips & Comments
- It's better to apply a thinner layer of nail polish than a thicker one.
- Start out with the simpler nail designs and only then move on to the harder ones.
