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.
