Between A Rock & A Hard Place. Which Trend Do We Love More?

(Our indecisive face. Also, I need that hat in my life.)

By BR Tabby

Two new beauty trends have come to our attention over the last couple of months and we're having trouble deciding which we love more. The first trend is marble lips - and no it's not the act of gluing marbles to your lips or anything OTT like that - it's creating a marbled effect on your lips, and the result is stunning. The other trend is geode nails - basically painting a crystal-esque look onto your fingernails, and some of those designs have left us awestruck. So anyway, we were doing 'if you had to pick your favourite' in the office over the other day... and, well, we couldn't decide which we preferred if we had to choose one - geode or marble? So we thought we'd show you some of our favourite images and get your opinion.

Batter up... Geode Nails!!

Would you look at that? It's rich, sumptuous, and I couldn't do it in a bazillion years. And we love how you can do a single geode feature nail, or rock the look on all your tips.

Not only can the geode nail be as full on in style as you'd like, but it can be a gorgeous simple design too - one we think anyone could achieve!

And then you get this kind of geode nail - and it's fresh, yet sophisticated - and again totally achievable. Hellloooooo fluttery heart.

Right, so that's that for the geodes... Marble Lips, you're up!

Okay, so marble lips aren't as wearable as geode nails. But they're so cool! And interesting to look at!

And while the majority of looks perhaps aren't work-okay (depending on where you work of course) some of them actually could totally be rocked.

And doesn't this look so luxe? Luxe-alicious! Saaaa-woooooooooon! 

I don't know. What do you think? Would you rock the marble lips? Or is the answer a crystal clear geode nail for the win? Tell us what you love! Tell us if you don't love. Tell us if it's something you'd love to try! Chat away!

What knocks your socks off?

Both knock my socks of but the one to really impress me are the marble lips wow I couldn't even try to recreate this look

Loving the nails, endless possibilities of colours and styles, but the lips....not for me. Really cool designs, great for fashion shows, etc. but just not loving the look for real life use.

I like them both but the nails would be something I would try over the lips.

Geode nails! I like the lips a lot also but only for photo purposes. I think they'd loose their awe-striking effect as soon as the crisp outer lines were smudged or wore a bit.

The nails do it for me -The lips are creepy and the gold drip would be irritating to see. I would feel like wiping it off . The nails are stunning and really well done.

Its definitely the geode nails that win for me! i remember back when i was in high school i tried a trick that every one was doing at the time.. It's when you drop a little bit of nail polish in to a bowl of water and make a design then you stick your finger on it and it makes the marble design. Well i sure as hell could not get any of my nails looking nice from doing it lol!! i ended up giving up but id love to no a way that would work because i would totally rock them! As for the lips noooo thank you

This for me is more like which one do you hate less. Both look weird to me but the marble lip looks so 'unwearable'. It's like their lips are cracking badly or something. I much prefer marble on nails instead.

At a pinch, the nails, but oh no! to the lips.

Oh lord when I tried water marbling it was an utter disaster. I struggle so hard with it too but trial and error tells me that you want slightly thicker nail polish (aka cheap) and luke warm water.
