The post The Best Cute Christmas Nail Art: 21 Designs You’ll Love appeared first on nailhow.

Looking for some nail inspiration for Halloween 2020? Wanna see the most creepy, creative, and awesomely freakish nail designs out there right now? Then let’s take a look at some of the best Halloween nail art!

Everyone’s social feeds are full of amazing Halloween-themed nail art this year, but there are so many awesome designs that it can get a bit overwhelming.

So, we’ve carefully curated a list of 31 Spooktacular Halloween designs that will have all your friends gagging come October 31st.

Whether you’re going for creepy, cute or classic, we’ve got something to suit, so without further ado – let’s get freaky!

Slasher chic featuring Michael Myers.

A lot of this Halloween’s best nail art is movie based, and we’re kicking it off with a creepy design based on John Carpenter’s cult classic movie – Halloween.

These blood-stained beauties are giving me chills!

If your nails are longer than this, you could probably fit in the tip of the knife too, maybe with some blood dripping off it – yes!

2. Baby Frankenstein.

If you want maximum impact with minimum effort, this is the design for you!

It’s super easy to do – you only need 3 colors – and you don’t need any fancy tools.

Just paint on the black parts with a toothpick, dotter, or a hair grip and you’re good to go!

Why not add some plastic googly eyes and make it 3D?

3. Charles Lee “Chucky” Ray.

Wanna play?

No Halloween nail art list would be complete without everyone’s favorite two and a half foot doll-faced serial killer – Chucky.

I love how they’ve deconstructed Chucky’s outfit to create this clever design.

You have the denim nail to represent his dungarees, and the rainbow colors from Chucky’s iconic sweater to make a great eye-catching feature nail.

That mop of ginger hair really pops against the black too!

4. Stephen King’s Pennywise.

If you want to dial up the freak factor this Halloween, try this design featuring Pennywise.

Don’t know who Pennywise is? Sure you do, he’s the notorious children-chomping killer clown from Stephen King’s IT.

5. The Ring.

Fans of Japanese horror (or the American remake) will love this design.

The movie title appears exactly as it is on the 2002 poster – and for those who don’t get it – the movie title is right there!

How awesome is that abstract face – chilling!

6. Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th).

Some Halloween villains’ never die, and Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th franchise is a classic example.

Maybe those blood splatters are from one of his victims?

Or perhaps they are from that time he got totally dismembered but then still came back to life!

Yikes! I need a sofa to hide behind!

7. Spooky apple.

Have you ever seen an apple with a skull before?

It’s such a simple idea but it works so well!

Top tip!

If you fancy this design – get a friend to write the message for you, it’s so much easier than trying to do it yourself!

8. Bloody Fingers.

Nightmare before Christmas is 27 years old, but it’s still going strong!

This design is great because it could work with so many different costumes.

9. Matte cat.

If you’re into minimal and classy Halloween nails then why not try this simple yet elegant nude and black design?

Every witch needs a black cat, and with this design you can have yours right at your fingertips!

10. Pumpkin patch.

These pumpkins are ripe and ready for Halloween 2020.

What will you carve yours into?

11. Singing ghosts.

Everyone knows how much ghost’s love to sing!

But what’s a ghost’s favorite tune?

…………………… caution! bad joke ahead!

Boo – hemian rhapsody!

Sorry.

12. Witches in the woods.

This green and black ombre design is very atmospheric.

I can almost hear the chanting of spells and the bubbling of cauldrons…

13. Halloween mash up 1.

Can’t decide if you want ghosts, pumpkins, scary eyeballs or bats?

Then don’t choose!

This design proves that you can have a little bit of everything this Halloween and still turn heads.

Love it!

14. Halloween mash up 2.

Purple with pumpkins webs and bats, (and a mummy thrown in for good measure).

Classic Halloween mish-mashed cuteness.

15. Hello zombie kitty.

Hello kitty gets a Halloween makeover in this sweet nail art design.

Love the cute characters, the bat inside the heart and those glittery webs!

16. Disney Coco.

I’m loving this Disney Coco Inspired nail art design.

It has skulls, flowers, plenty of black and a perfect little replica of the Guitar from the movie.

Adorbs.

17. Nickelodeon horror.

Kids’ stuff can be super creepy.

If you’re looking for a unique take on Halloween nail art, why not paint ghoulish versions of your favourite cartoon characters?

It’s interesting, different and nostalgic, a triple whammy!

18. 50’s B movie.

Science fiction movies can be great inspiration for Halloween costumes and nail art designs.

Check out these beautiful nails that are literally dripping with b-movie goodness.

19. Beetlejuice.

The scene where the couple rearrange their ghost faces (from the cult classic horror Beetlejuice) has inspired many a trick or treater.

But have you ever thought of putting those faces on your nails?

Well, that’s exactly what this nail artist did, and I’ve gotta say, I’m feelin it!

20. The Addams family.

This creepy and kooky nail art design features Morticia, Gomez, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams.

I only have one question. Where’s uncle fester?

21. Funky skulls.

If you’re bored with traditional Halloween designs why not jazz things up a bit with some funky skulls?

This design is colorful, modern and well, funky!

22. Gothic Crow.

Despite being a classic gothic and Halloween trope, the crow is often overlooked on Oct 31st.

This bird on a barbed wire design is sophisticated and somber, perfect for all hallows eve.

23. Synthwave boneyard.

For some reason this design makes me think of music. Specifically, synthwave.

I’m getting post-apocalyptic vibes too.

I wonder what wiped them all out?

24. Spooky spiders.

There are a LOT of spider and web designs floating around in cyberspace. But this is one of my favs.

The white spiders against the black webs is a nice twist, and those critters look ready to pounce right off those nails – eek!

25. Spooky sketches.

These creatures clearly sprang from a twisted and deranged mind.

And is that a gavel?

Is this some kind of auction for the depraved?

Who is buying these terrifying monstrosities?

I shudder to think.

26. Jack and Sally.

Here we have the iconic Halloween couple.

That’s right, it’s Jack and Sally from Tim Burton’s Nightmare before Christmas.

27. Not so classic Frankie.

I love a design like this one that takes a classic Halloween character and gives it a bit of a refresh.

This stood out because the artist didn’t go with the obvious stitches and bolts design but instead added some scientific symbols and molecule chains.

Cool no?

28. Cobwebs galore.

If you want your costume to do all the talking and you’re looking for a simple classic design, then you really can’t go wrong with a spider web design against a glittery background.

There are some great spiderweb decals out there, so no need to spend ages painting them on by hand!

29. Scream.

Have some fun this Halloween creating this awesome blood-spattered scream design!

The blood and handprints are cool enough on their own, but add in the scream mask and you’ve got yourself a kickass Halloween nail art design!

30. BOO! Who?

This is a cute take on a ghost design.

I think he picked the wrong victim though!

I’m liking the trees with the spiderwebs mingled in on this one.

31. Baba Drac.

We’ve seen a baby Frankenstein, but why stop there?

You can have a baby witch, a baby zombie, or even a baby vampire!

This lil’ guy is so cute, but would you accept his invitation?

There we have it, folks, 31 ghastly ideas to inspire you this Halloween.

Have fun, stay safe, and don’t eat too much candy

The post Freaky Fabulous: 31 Halloween Nail Art Ideas You’ll Love appeared first on nailhow.

Holo. If you love shiny things (and nail art) then you’re in for a treat! I’ve scoured the Gram looking for the very best nail art that sparkles, shimmers, and shines. Here are some of the awesome designs I found. Ready for a major dose of inspiration? Let’s take a look at some of the best glitter nail art designs.

1.  Classic glombre (glitter ombre).

When it comes to glitter nail art designs, this is a classic.

One of the reasons I love glitter so much is because glitter is just so damn versatile.

Glitter nails can go from quirky, whimsical, and fun – to elegant, classy, and modern.

This design is a great example of the latter.

Love the ring, too!

2. Balloons & bling.

I’m calling nail art design “balloons and bling”.

This is such a cute idea for a celebration.

I’m thinking that this would work for birthday nails, graduation, prom, or even to celebrate the birth of a new baby!

I’m a big fan of simple ideas with impact, and the above design is a classic example.

Just 2 colors (glitter polishes of course) and a balloon stamp and you’re good to go.

3. I’m blue.

If you love glitter nail art designs but you’re not really into ultra-girly designs, then you might wanna try something like this.

There’s a lot going on in this blue, green, black, and silver geometric design.

I’m lovin’ the combination of ombre, glitter, and squares.

4. Watermelon heaven.

I’ve fallen in love with this super cool gold glitter and watermelon design from Urban Nail Art.

It’s giving me 1980’s vibes and making me want watermelon juice!

Is it just me, or do those rinds look a bit like old film reels…

Here is a tutorial for the design.

5. Enchanted forest.

This forest design perfectly captures the beginning of the fall.

I love everything about this design.

First off, the use of glitter here is really creative. Doesn’t that tree-lined path look so inviting?

I’m also lovin’ the colors the artist has chosen for the leaves, and the way the whole design looks like a watercolor painting.

6. Black and gold geometric.

Glitter nail art designs come in all shapes and styles.

This gold and black design is minimal, elegant, and classy.

It also scores points for being fairly easy to do.

You can get this look with some striping tape, a nail stamp, and some matte topcoat.

If you don’t have a stamp you could try using a dotting tool and a nail art brush or cocktail stick to create the pinky design.

7. Striking stripes.

Let’s take a moment to admire the length and shape of these beauties!

Look how those stripes elongate the nails even more.

Here, the artist has cleverly varied the shades and the striping designs to create 3 awesome feature nails.

I can’t wait to have a go at this one!

8. Red bombshell.

Ooooh sexy…

This bombshell means business!

Her hair is the color of roses, and her eyes are the color of leaves.

Love the glittery eyeshadow and the sparkling gown!

Definitely one of my current favorite glitter nail art designs

9. Raspberry sparkle.

This one’s for those of you who like to keep it fruity

If you scroll the IG feeds as much as I do, then you’ve probably seen tons of watermelon nail art, pineapple nail art, and even apple nail art.

But raspberries! With glitter on them! Need I say more?

I can’t wait to try this one out – bring on the summer!

10. Roses of gold.

If you’re looking for the perfect nail art idea for spring and summer, this could be it.

This sophisticated, elegant, and oh so girly look is created with silver holo glitter over a peachy background.

Love.

11. Teddy Fresh.

It’s hard not to love a glittery teddy bear, and this one is adorable.

I know what I’m asking for next time I treat myself to a mani done by someone other than me!

Gorgeous!

12. Hot pink half-moons.

This is a simple glittery twist on the half-moon design that we all know and love.

The colors and the design here work really well together to create a clean modern look that’s perfect for all seasons.

I’m not a huge fan of pink nails myself but this is so cute!

13. Geometric Gems.

Here’s a geometric gem design with silver glitter that totally pops.

The silver works so well against that cool blue-gray background.

To create this look, get yourself a gem stamp (or freehand the gems if that’s how you roll).

Play around with the placement of the gems and the glitter colors for a completely different look every time!

14. Buffy little bunnies.

*sings loudly* “Bunnies, bunnies it must be bunnies!”

 Just a little reference for all the Buffy fans out there

This is my absolute favorite Easter design!

That glitter polish is ah maz ing!

It’s so Alice in Wonderland.

I love the combination of the negative space-bunny on the left and the cute bunny ears on the right.

Take me to Wonderland, white rabbit – I’m so ready!

15. Beach star.

Looking for a fun, simple, cute-but-eye-catching design for the beach this summer?

Look no further!

Glitter nail art designs catch the sun and add a bit of whimsy to your beach look.

I love the high contrast between the blue and the orange in this design.

And the way the stripy background on the feature nails looks like sand!

I think I’d be tempted to paint starfish instead of stars!

16. Drippy glitter.

This sweet nail art design looks good enough to eat!

The pastel colors are paired perfectly with the holo glitter to create an awesome fresh take on the paint drip design.

This one is giving me birthday cake vibes with gooey shiny rainbow icing!

Anyone else want cake right now?

17. Moonlight and magic.

Having 1 awesome signature nail like this is a great way to spice up your glitter mani.

I love this moonlit night idea, it’s so atmospheric and artsy!

18. Best of British.

Do you love Downton Abbey, a nice cup of tea and all things English?

Then why not try out this sophisticated vintage nail art design, straight from England.

It’s incredibly classy and elegant don’t you know…

19. Unicorn fantasy.

Ohmygosh, unicorns, glitter and pink.

Could this nail art design be any cuter?

Also, why have one feature nail, when you can have three?

20. They’re here!

Let any 5 year old choose their favorite nail art design and this is the one they’d pick!

The truth is out there.

This is a space design that’s a little bit different.

I think it’s great how the artist has included the planets as well as the moon and stars.

There are even a rocket and a little green man!

21. Just a glittle.

Glitter can be hard work. Especially when you’re trying to remove it.

Why not make life easier for yourself by using just a little bit to make your nail art really pop?

Here’s a bright and summery design that proves that a little glitter can go a long way.

22. Cirque de dott-ay.

Next up is a super easy nail art idea for spring and summer.

This is a simple but effective nail art idea that anyone can pull off!

Start by applying a couple of coats of your chosen glitter polish, then grab a dotting tool to create the flowers.

23. Glitter city.

I absolutely adore how this nail artist has transformed a simple glitter ombre into a star-filled sky at sunset.

I’m sure you’ve seen glitter polish used to create a sky before, particularly in space-themed designs.

But have you ever seen one complete with a beautiful sunset and cityscape?

Stunning.

24. Glitter party.

Birthday nails!

This awesome design has everything you need for a great birthday.

Flowers, check.

Balloon, yup.

Gift, of course.

Wine, absolutely.

Cake, always.

And lots of glitter!

What more could you ask for on your special day?

25. Confetti junction.

Oh, my goodness, this is so cu-yute and so simple!

To get this look, first apply base coat. Don’t skip the basecoat or the glitter will not stick as well and it will be harder to get off!

Next, apply any glitter you like, (chunky pieces work really well) to the top 2 thirds of each nail.

Leave the bottom third of each nail clean and finish with topcoat to seal.

26. Ribbons and bows.

I wish I could paint leaves like this.

Unfortunately, my artistic skills leave a lot to be desired (I do draw mean stick people though).

Anyhoo, this pink ribbon and leaves design is super pretty.

27. Keeping it simple.

Not everyone has the time, patience or skills to create fancy nail designs.

But don’t worry, you can still have some creative fun with color combo manis like the one above.

Choose 2, 3, 4 or 5 glitter polishes that work together and experiment with different combinations and placement.

The possibilities are endless.

28. Somewhere over…

Even though I’ve seen a million of them, nothing puts a smile on my face like a super cute rainbow design!

I do some variation of rainbow nail art pretty much every summer.

I’m currently loving the “I made an awesome rainbow design but I didn’t try too hard” vibes of this simple and easy DIY masterpiece

This design is proof that there is gold at the end of the rainbow!

29. Round 3.

This overlapping circles design is sure to get the compliments rollin’ in.

The 4 colors the artist has chosen really complement one another.

This one is giving me dreamy, whimsical yet also sophisticated vibes.

30. Under the sea.

Sing it with me. “The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else’s lake…”

Lovin’ this under the sea nail art idea.

It’s another great example of how a glitter ombre can be used to create an awesome background for a themed design.

31. Pucker up!

Don’t you just luuurve this design?

Me too!

Those faded glitter lips are ultra cool and oh so chic!

I like how they’ve used the 2 glitter backgrounds together on the ombre nail, it really ties the whole look together.

Just throw on some jeans and a graphic tee and you’ll be ready for anything life can throw at ya.

32. So much heart.

Need a cute valentine’s day nail art design?

How about this cutie?

Simply paint on some nude shimmer polish and add either hand drawn or stamped red hearts.

Then finish with a glittery feature nail, perfection.

33. Bubble pop.

I want a pink denim jacket so bad!

These beautifully shaped nails in bubblegum pink with gold glitter tips are simply stunning.

If you want something classy, feminine and fun, this is the one.

34. Stars gonna shine.

This design has 1 of my all-time favorite nail art color combos.

I wear blue with silver jewelry all the time so this is the perfect mani to compliment pretty much everything in my wardrobe!

If you love blue and silver together and you love stars, this is the nail art design for you.

That silvery rainbow glitter is gorgeous!

35. Pretty with pink.

This simple design with a single stunning feature nail is so fabulous!

Black and gold always look so luxurious and elegant, but that pink adds a touch of fun and makes the whole look less “dressy”.

36. Hot flash.

Flames!

How awesome are these silver and red flames?

Pretty awesome I’d say!

Don’t you just love it?

But where could you rock this?

I’m thinking festivals, weekends out, and summer nights playing pool at the local bar…

37. I wear my heart on my nail.

This sophisticated, elegant, and mature design would be perfect for Valentine’s day, or a romantic special occasion like an anniversary dinner.

Your eyes can’t help but be drawn to that stunning gold-encrusted gem-adorned feature nail, which I’m guessing is exactly what the artist wanted!

38. Great Scott Fitgerald that’s gorgeous!

This is a great 1920’s inspired gatsby-esque mani from Nails by Nina.

This design is proof that you can get an elegant look that just oozes class by investing in some striping tape and a make-up sponge.

39. Superfine flowers.

Looking for something a little different to spice up your glitter game?

Why not try using stencils to create an awesome shiny nail art design?

This technique works best with super fine glitter, and as you can see in the pic above, the results are amazing!

You can play around with different glitter colors to create a fresh look every time.

40. Flowers don’t need color to shine.

Such delicate flowers.

The fact that this is a floral design but done in black and white makes this nail art creation really unique and interesting.

I’d definitely be happy if I left the salon with this!

41. Keepin’ it clean.

Are those blue roses?

What do you think?

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks, but this nail art design is giving me floral vibes.

Those white nails are so perfectly painted.

And for me, the length is just right.

42. We are all made of stars.

Purple and silver is a classic nail art color combo that always works.

I really like how the amount of glitter on each nail in this design varies.

Also lovin’ the little nail art gems at the center of the stars.

43. Love Lace.

This is such a cute design.

The design itself is really quite simple, but the placement of glitter on the accent nail elevates the whole look.

Kinda reminds me of lace, beautiful!

I’m feelin’ the mix of glitter colors used here too.

44. Marvelous marble.

The colors in this design are so perfect! I love them so much.

I can’t decide if the artist was going for a drippy paint effect, a water marble effect or both.

In any case, the result is stunning.

I really like that there’s plenty of room to make mistakes experiment creatively with this idea.

So, that’s it!

You’ve seen all 44 glitter nail art designs! I hope you found something you like

Happy painting.

The post Blinded By Bling: 44 Glitter Nail Art Ideas to Love appeared first on nailhow.

Love a bit of sparkle? Want your nails to get noticed? I feel ya. Whether you need inspiration for an upcoming celebration or you’re just celebrating yourself (and why wouldn’t you – you’re amazing!) I’ve got you covered. I’ve scoured the gram to find some of the very best gem and rhinestone-encrusted nail art. So, let’s take a look at some nail art designs with rhinestones right now.

Bling it on!

This is one of the easiest and most striking ways to use crystals in your nail art design.

Simply paint all of your nails (but 1) in your chosen color, then cover that accent nail in rhinestones!

The design possibilities here are pretty much endless.

For a subtle sparkle, you could use gems that are all the same color, choosing the same color as your polish (so, a red mani with red gems on one nail for instance).

Or for a more eye-catching look, you could go for a complementary color (think purple nails with yellow gems on one nail for example).

You could even use different colors – a black mani with multi-colored gems on an accent nail would look amazing!

I like the rhinestone pinky in the image above because the gems are all different sizes, which to me, makes things more interesting.

That huge gem in the middle really demands attention the same way a huge engagement ring would – love!

Here’s an extremely pretty, ultra-girly design full of inspiring ideas for incorporating rhinestones.

I love the idea of using crushed up pearlescent nail art gems – they don’t even look like gems, they almost look like flakes – to form the center of a flower like they’ve done on the second pink nail.

It works really well to gives the impression of light – like the kind you’d get on a sunny day.

I also really like the way they use nail art gems to draw attention to and enhance the delicate butterfly wings.

This striking design combines a classic red mani with rhinestones and leopard print to create a look that’s both elegant and bold.

I love how the nail artist has used different sized gems to create an eye-catching pyramid for each central nail.

This design uses four colors that we all have in our collections, (red, white, black, and gray) to create a stunning nail design that’ll work with almost any outfit!

The artist has chosen to use a matte finish for the above mani, which really makes the rhinestones pop, but this design would work equally well with a glossy finish, too.

Here’s a fun design that incorporates a little bit of negative space for the inside of the heart.

I think it may have taken a while to arrange the gems in a perfect heart like this.

The artist has done a really great job – the lines are so clean, it must have been difficult – but the result is so worth it because it’s simply stunning.

I absolutely love this idea!

It’s so whimsical and quirky, and who says that the gems can’t be painted on?

If you’re handy with a nail art brush, why not give this a try?

Or if you don’t fancy painting the “gems” on, grab yourself some nail art stickers and get cracking!

I’m always amazed by how many different looks you can achieve simply by combining different sized nail art gems.

This design is totally mesmerizing.

Everything about it is polished (pun absolutely intended) from the color choices and the clean lines to the perfect placement of each tiny gem.

The gems on the matte nails really stand out, and switching up the placement of the accent nails works so well.

Just imagine the awesome compliments you’ll get when your nails look like this!

Asnail

Here’s an awesome variation of the one-color-mani-with-an-accent-nail look.

There really are so many totally different looks that you can get –  just from switching up the polish color and the style of gems you use!

Here the shape of the nail gems used is giving me old school CD vibes.

I’m thinking this would be a great look for music lovers, what do you think?

Nailsbynina

Wanna keep things simple?

Well, here’s a super easy idea that everyone can pull off!

3 nail gems – placed at the center of each nail in decreasing sizes.

Viola! – awesome nails without too much effort

Getting married? Or just wanna feel like you are?

This stunning white design just screams princess.

I’m also feeling this design for an extravagant and glamorous winter look.

White goes with absolutely everything too, so no need to worry about what to wear with these nails.

It’s the clever combinations of texture that elevate this monochrome mani from flat white to flat out fabulous!

Don’t you think these ice-cream nail polish bottles are super duper cute?

Me too!

I’m loving this sweet bubblegum color combo with a few gems added and a dollop of glitter that looks like sprinkles!

Anyone else craving a cone?

This intricate flowers and butterflies design is the perfect way to make a nude manicure sing!

I love how the 4 plain nails balance things out so it’s not too much, and the way that tiny little gem on each ties everything together.

Looking for something a bit less conventional?

Why not take inspiration from this awesome and hypnotically artsy mani?

You can never go wrong with black white and pink, and who doesn’t love pigs?

This has got to be one of my all-time favorite nail art designs with rhinestones.

I’m loving this cool combination of crystals and pearls against a solid matte background.

It’s so easy to get carried away adding rhinestones, so I applaud this artist’s obvious restraint.

I think they stopped adding gems at just the right moment, don’t you?

I can’t wait to try this one!

Summer is approaching, and it won’t be long before everyone will be looking for that perfect festival nail art design.

Let me suggest this beautiful offering.

The color of this design is so summer-chic, I can just see it paired with some amazing turquoise jewelry and a floaty floral dress.

Also really feelin’ the four gems stacked on top of one another to make a slender triangle.

Who says that the gems have to stay on the nails?

This is a great out-of-the-box design for anyone with superglue strong enough to keep those bad boys in place!

Seriously, how is that huge gem not flying off her middle finger right now?

This is a great look for all my vintage queens (regal, not drag).

These amber gems are so well placed they look like they’ve been there for years.

I’m getting classy, elegant antique vibes from this one – delish!

As you see from this gorgeous image, any henna-inspired nail art design can be complemented perfectly by adding a few choice rhinestones.

Here, each nail has only 2 gems on it, but the placement is varied according to the 4 different designs.

Absolutely blissful.

Who knew that nail art designs with rhinestones could be so cute?

11 tiny little gems are all it takes to create this simple yet elegant bow design.

Try mixing up the colors for a completely different feel.

I’m thinking of trying out an androgynous take on this in black, white, and red that looks like a bow tie…

This muted floral design almost looks like it could be painted underwater.

Personally, I think this would be a great design for the end of summer going into fall, as the colors would really compliment a fall palette.

The whole design is pretty, feminine, classy, and not too showy.

Here’s a somewhat simple snowflake design you can try out this winter.

Follow the steps in the tutorial above, and finish with a central gem.

Maybe add some glitter to the background for a bit of extra sparkle?

Snow pretty!

This understated and minimal design is so classy.

Sometimes, the cliche less is more fits and this design is proof of that.

I feel more elegance, poise, and sophistication just looking at it.

Simply beautiful.

That’s it! You’ve seen all 21 nail art designs with rhinestones.

I hope you enjoyed this collection and that you found some inspiration for your next few manis!

Thank you for reading this, I appreciate you

Let’s take a look at some cartoon nail art designs!

After the extreme boredom of lockdown, we all need a little pick-me-up. I’ve got just the thing.

This post is full of bright, happy, glittery fun, and nostalgic nail art that’s guaranteed to tip your cuteness scale into overdrive! I’m gonna show you the most colorful, creative, and gosh-darn cute nails out there.

From Adventure Time and anime-inspired designs to your favorite Disney characters and some surprising throwbacks like Scooby-Doo and… well you’ll have to wait and see!Ready for a major dose of cartoon cuteness?

1. The Powerpuff Girls.

Wow, it’s hard to believe that this show started waaaay back in 1998!

It’s now 15 years since the Powerpuff Girls final episode aired back in 2005.

But who could forget the show that spread such positive messages of self-love and female empowerment?

We’re absolutely loving this portrayal of Buttercup, Bubbles, and Blossom.

Can you remember which color is which?

2. Minnie and Mickey mouse.

Here’s a couple of faces I’m sure you’ll recognize.

Say hello to the world’s most famous mice – a la nail art!

I’m loving this super sophisticated bold and modern take on Disney nails!

Simply stunning, they’re giving me very-grown-up-but-still-in-touch-with-my-inner-child vibes.

You can’t have a list of cartoon nail art designs without Mickey and Minnie!

3. Spirited Away.

Who says a list of cartoon nail art designs can’t include anime? No-one!

I absolutely adore this intricate nail art design which is based around Miyazaki’s classic 2001 anime movie, Spirited Away.

It incorporates many of the memorable characters, like no-face and Boh.

But I particularly like the little black soot sprites.

They look so cute against that glittery background of colorful stars!

Here’s a better picture of the other hand, which shows Haku the graceful white dragon – just beautiful!

4. Pink Panther.

“Pretty in pink”, the panther said with a wink…

This gorgeous design is perfect for those who have fallen in love with the world’s most charming panther.

This charismatic character has stood the test of time.

Dating all the way back to the early 1960s, and still going strong today, the pink panther has captured all of our hearts for the best part of the last 50 years.

5. Adventure Time – Lady Rainicorn featuring Marceline.

Isn’t this one of the cutest cartoon nail art designs you ever saw?

We’ve thrown a few adventure time designs into this post simply because there are just so many awesome ones to choose from!

This is my current fav though.

This design’s got it all.

Bright rainbow colors, glitter, a flying unicorn, 2 golden crowns, and Marceline the artistic vampire to balance out all that cuteness.

What’s not to love?

6. Betty Boop.

Can you believe that Betty Boop is over 90 years old?

Yup, this Jazz era darling turned classic icon has been around since the early 1930s.

Here she is in 2020, looking fabulous on this awesome red and nude nail art design.

Boop oop a doop.

7. Thumper the rabbit.

Thumper is a classic character from Bambi, which is one of Disney’s most iconic – and upsetting – movies.

Thumper is actually a male rabbit. Though he’s often mistaken for a female.

This androgyny is perfectly encapsulated in this super cute pink nail art design complete with gems, bold patterns, and yummy textures.

8. Garfield.

He’s cheeky, mischievous and he loves lasagna.

Garfield is undoubtedly the king of cartoon cats.

So, putting him on your nails as part of a design that’s dripping in gold makes purrfect sense!

9. Adventure Time – Finn & Jake featuring the ice king.

It’s almost 2 years since the last ever episode of Adventure time aired in September 2018 – I still can’t believe it’s over *sob*

No worries though, this cheery nail art design reminds us all of the awesomeness that is Adventure Time.

I like this one because, even though I know it would probably take many tries to perfect, it still seems achievable.

Finn and Jake 4ever!

10. Dexter’s laboratory.

A late 90’s throwback, Dexter’s Laboratory ran on the Cartoon Network for 8 years.

This nail design captures the boy genius and his older sister Dee Dee.

They were always engaged in some kind of sibling rivalry in the cartoon.

You can also see their long-suffering germ-o-phobe mother over there on the right.

11. (Lilo and) Stitch.

What exactly is stitch anyways? No-one seems to know for sure.

Extra-terrestrial, animal? The result of some kind of experiment gone right?

Whatever he is, he’s darn cute and totally deserving of pride of place in this stunning nail art design.

12. Scooby-Doo.

This design is a great excuse to get out that lime green nail polish that you hardly ever use!

I’m loving the psychedelic vibes of this design that features the infamous crime-fighting hot dog-loving duo, Shaggy and Scooby.

Bring on the summer.

Hippy dippy doo!

13. Bugs and Lola Bunny.

Ahhh. Nothing says spring like rabbits in love.

This is a perfect look for Valentine’s day or an anniversary.

Or just to celebrate your love of bunnies.

14. Adventure Time – featuring Lumpy Space Princess.

Oh, my Glob.

You gotta love the straight-talking no-sugar-coating-honesty of the Lumpy Space princess.

Here she is in all her purple glory, complete with purple flames – or maybe those are comet trails?

Love it!

15. Courage The Cowardly Dog.

Courage was born back in 1996.

Since then, he’s picked up quite the cult following.

Equal parts horror and comedy, this show featuring a pink beagle has certainly captivated this nail artist to create a whimsical and nostalgic design that screams animal lover.

16. Daisy and Donald Duck.

I just love the way this artist combines sophisticated and modern nail art design with oh-so cute-you-could-die Disney!

Here we have the most famous duck couple in the land, Daisy and Donald.

Loving the cute little hat and adorable little bow with just a hint of beak

17. The Flintstones.

Here’s 2 famous families that should need no introduction.

It gladdens my heart to see the Flintstones and the Rubbles immortalized in nail art form.

The characters are super well-drawn and really do look just like the classic characters we all know and love.

Dino was always my favorite, what about you?

18. Classic Mickey Mouse.

This is a simple, classic, minimalistic mickey mouse design (try saying that 3 times fast).

Some designs really prove that less is more, and this is a great example of that.

I don’t know if this is a sticker or if it was hand-drawn, but either way it looks fabulous!

What an awesome way of spicing up a classic red mani.

19. Futurama.

If you’re going to do a space design, why not do a space cartoon design?

Pop in a couple of your favorite characters and you have an awesome nail art design that will surely get the compliments rolling on in!

This one uses characters from futurama, but you could easily adapt it to whatever space or sci-fi themed cartoon.

Think The Jetsons, Rick and Morty, Galaxy High, Invader Zim… the list goes on.

20. Cute Mickey Mouse.

This Mickey Mouse design is cute, playful, and fun.

It’s a great one to show off your nail art skills as it’s got a bit of everything, like gradients, polka dots, and of course the classic mickey silhouette.

I’m really liking the soft look of this one, with dreamy pastel pink and luscious lilac.

21. The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Here’s a design that will see you through from Halloween up until Christmas!

Tim Burton’s now-classic gothic love story is great inspiration for Disney lovers who are looking for something a little bit less cutesy.

And, as Blink 182 sang in 2003, we can live like Jack and Sally if we want.

22. The Rugrats.

Wow, this one really takes me back.

How old would Angelica and Tommy be right now if they were real?

Well, the show first aired in 1991, so I’m guessing they’d be all growed up and in their 30’s by now.

Bless their cotton socks.

Who can forget that gummy smile and that bossy little princess?

23. Spongebob Squarepants.

Who doesn’t love Spongebob?

Not many people, seeing as though the franchise has managed to earn its creators a whopping 13 billion dollars since it began back in 1999.

This is a great idea for an under the sea cartoon themed nail design.

Why not bring Bikini Bottom to life at your fingertips?

24. The Smurfs.

Did you know that there’s more than 100 different Smurf characters?

This nail art design is a celebration of the most famous lady smurf, “Smurfette”.

Smurfette was the first female character ever to be introduced to Smurfland.

As you can see, she has a very stereotypical “feminine” look, with wavy blond hair and long luscious eyelashes.

It should come as no surprise that she was the love interest of almost all of the male smurfs.

25. Sylvester and Tweety.

I tawt I taw a puddy tat!

Well you certainly did, and his name is Sylvester.

Our final design shows the classic cat and bird combo of Sylvester the cat and Tweety.

Poor Sylvester, he’s been chasing Tweety since the early 1940s.

Even though he manages to get Tweety in his mouth a few times, he’s always forced to spit that bird straight back out again.

Bonus pic! – Care Bears forever!

Rainbows, hearts, gems, a carebear, and a panda? I challenge you to find a cuter design than this cute fest!

Well, that’s all folks, we reached the end of our cartoon nail art designs list.

I hope you enjoyed this little nail art trip down memory lane and that you have gathered some good inspiration for your next magical mani.

Happy painting!
