35 Simple Nail Designs

Dusty pink is one of the hottest colors around and flatters every skin tone under the sun. That’s why it is perfect for your nails. It will add a much-needed pop of summer color to your look without having to embrace neon trends. You shy girls will love this! Our favorite polish in this cute color is Essie’s In Stitches. Use a nail dotter and gently dab white spots onto the ends of your nails, and there you have it – a simple and effortless design!

Pastel colors are a great way of adding a splash of summer into your nail art. Cut out triangle shapes from tape and place them there where you would want the nail to be bare. Through this, you will create a cut-out feel all whilst incorporating the geometric trend. Remember that all-important layer of transparent polish to protect your design!

Daisy designs are cute, simple and are IN! Use OPI’s Charged Up Cherry for the base and then, with a finer nail art brush, draw on the petals in white. Add a splash of yellow in the corner to create the flower head. We think this would look cute with a girly white lace dress for a casual day out with your pals!

Olive branches are a sign of peace or victory, so this is the ideal design if you have something to celebrate! Team lilac and dusty pink – this summer’s it couple – for a girly but neutral look. For the olive branch, fear not, it doesn’t have to be difficult! You can find olive branch nail stencils all over the internet at very cheap prices – we recommend checking out Ali Express!

It’s difficult when you want something special for a party but haven’t got the skills (or the patience to do so).

This Chevron print is elegant and is the perfect summer pattern. Create triangle shapes out of tape to get even print all the way round your nails. Black and white contrast perfectly with the girly pastel pink to give you a timeless, stylish look. We would add silver jewelry to contrast even more with your design.

Though leopard print looks tricky, it isn’t that hard. If you have a dotting tool or even a toothpick, you can do this look in minutes! We love the mix of manicure and reverse manicure to spice up your design. Use beige and brown for an authentic leopard print or use pastel tones for a fun, summer-ready design.

If you want to go simple, then who says you have to have designs? Just chose three colors that compliment each other perfectly, and get painting! Though we love this off white, cappuccino and black combo, another beautiful trio that we would love are nude, mauve and pastel pink. We recommend cutting your nail into a squared oval shape or the ballerina shape (with a straight tip) for a professional look.

If you haven’t got nude polishes already, we recommend getting them asap! They always come in handy as they are so versatile. Paint all your nails nude for a casual look, or vamp them up with a bit of glitter! Nude colors compliment every skin tone too, making them go-to polishes!
