Marilyn Nails

Marilyn nails are among the classic nail shapes that are named after Marilyn Monroe. These are medium-length nails with a slightly rounded-square shape and longer free edges. The tapered sides of the nails give them a more elegant and graceful appearance.
You can customize Marilyn shape with a variety of nail art designs like French, ombre, abstract, negative space, and jeweled nails. The versatility in appearance makes it appropriate for many occasions, from casual to formal. Try Marilyn nails with rhinestones, glitter, or other nail embellishments if you want a luxurious look.
The Marilyn nail shape is a good choice for people with long and short fingers. If you have short fingers, it can help make them look longer. For this purpose, try bright colors like pink or nude, and if you want a bold appearance, go for red or black.
Ultimately, the best way to choose the right colors and designs for Marilyn nails is to experiment and find what you like best. Here are some inspirations to start.

The best colors for Marilyn nails are those that are bold, glamorous, and timeless. Red has this characteristic. You can choose from different shades of it, like Ruby and Burgundy, which are also suitable for formal events. Other choices are bright options such as pink or coral, which you can apply if you want a casual look. Incorporating white or nude for negative space gives your Marilyn-shaped nail art a modern appearance.
You can also experiment with different finishes, such as matte, glossy, or shimmery, for a understated, glamorous, or sparkly look.
After all, remember to choose a palette you feel most confident and comfortable with, and have fun and try different things until you find a look you love.
