Candy Apple Red Nails

Candy apple red is an eye-catching and festive shade. This hyper-saturated color gets extra oomph from the golden flecks it entails.

It’s not just for Halloween anymore — this shiny red nail polish looks just as good on your everyday mani. It’s the perfect way to add a pop of color to your outfit without compromising on comfort. The trick is to apply it correctly and remove it properly, and we recommend a good top coat for best results.

Chocolate and strawberry nail art is a classic combination. It’s a fun design that can be used to accent any nail color.

Whether you choose a red strawberry or a pink one, this look is sure to brighten up any manicure! Try it with a simple striped pattern or a more intricate design. Using a base coat, paint the base of your nail with a bright red polish and then draw on a strawberry using a thin striper or toothpick.

Nude and Gray Matte Nails

When it comes to nail polish colors, neutrals are always a good choice. They don’t look too drab or cheap, and they can match any outfit.

Nude and gray are two great neutrals that work together for a paired back nail design. This looks especially nice on short nails.

Black Nails with Line Art

If you’re looking for a chic and edgy nail design, black nails with line art are the way to go. You can easily incorporate this look into your everyday style, or try it as an accent on your holiday nails.

This is a simple yet elegant design, a great choice for short nails. It’s a perfect mix of minimalist and stylish, so it’ll be sure to attract compliments from all your friends.

Artistic Decals

Artistic Decals are a fun way to add a little sparkle to your fingertips. They come in a variety of designs, from fruit to flowers to even cartoon characters.

The best part is that they’re super simple to apply and can be used on bare nails, gel or regular polish. They’re also the perfect size to make a subtle yet eye-catching addition to your manicure. We love them as a fun way to jazz up your digits, and there’s no shortage of cute ones on the market.

Light Pink or Nude Nails with a Single Heart

Whether you’re going for a subtle look or are celebrating Valentine’s Day, light pink or nude nails with a single heart can make you feel romantic and lovey-dovey.

The best part about these soft monochrome looks is that you can paint a different color for each nail. Then, use a glitter polish to add some sparkle!

This sweet design features a hand-Pa Single Heart on a light pink base with just the right amount of sparkle. It’s a simple yet sophisticated look that you can rock all year long!

Hand-Painted Flowers

With spring right around the corner, floral nail designs are a great way to welcome the season! Whether you’re a flower fanatic or just looking for an easy and cute manicure, there are a wide variety of options to choose from.

Hand-Pa Single Heart uses a light pink and nude base to make the flowers look sweet and pretty. A contrasting green stem makes them stand out from the background.

Green Nails

Green is a great color to choose for your nails because it can be bold and fun, or subtle and simple. It can represent growth and harmony, or be a fresh reminder to be kind to the environment.

Green is also an excellent choice for French tip nail designs because it can help you achieve the illusion of longer nails. Play around with different shades, patterns and finishes.
