Are you bored of having dull nails but don’t have the time or patience to do those long, intense tutorials on YouTube? Nah, fam – I am not spending an hour hand-painting flamingos on my nails. (If you are able to do that, I applaud you though). So, how about let’s go through some nail art ideas & design ideas that are a 2-for-1 deal of awesome & easy!
If it is on fleek nails that you seek, then try one of these easy nail art ideas this week & then grab yourself a drink. 😂
Easy Nail Art Ideas to Try 💅🏻
These ideas range from simple design hacks, amazing nail products and other simple ways to dazzle up those digits, flare up those phalanges, and pamper those pinkies! You don’t have to spend extra time to look extra fine!
I know, I know, my lame attempts to rhyme are concerning. Don’t let that distract you from trying the following nail art ideas though. Whether it’s decals, stickers, nail wraps, jewels or eye-catching polish, you’re going to love these as much as I do.
Ch-ch-check em’ out!
1. Razzle Dazzle: Rhinestone Nail Jewels
You’ll adore this set because it not only comes with these gorgeous nail jewels, but you have the option to add a precise application pen and gem picker to make the process even easier.
2. Holographic Heaven: Chasing Rainbows Polish
The holographic effect on literally anything is one of my favorite looks – and it should be one of yours too! Just look at the way these gorgeous nails look when the light hits them – simply magical!
3. Beach Life: Mermaid Nail Guide Stencils
If you want to take a break from doing to the nail salon and/or applying fake nails to your hands, consider these! You get a professional & precise look, using only your favorite nail polish colors at home, with the aide of this stencil.
I personally, love the color scheme used below, with the fabulous, but optional rhinestone trim! Side note: If you don’t want mermaid scales, but still want a mermaid effect, check out these Aurora Supreme Flakies!
4. Spaced Out: Holographic Alien Nail Decals
Fill up the blank space on your nails with this space-themed nail decals, featuring cute holographic aliens! These are what I imagine Katy Perry wearing if she was ever in the movie “Zenon: Girl from the 21st Century”.
5. Sweet as Candy: Lollipop Nail Stencils
Don’t these lollipop-inspired nails look just as sweet as real candy?! The best part about stencils is that they are pretty much fool-proof! Plus, they are super simple to use and don’t take too much time to apply over your bottom color’s coat!
6. Perfect Summer Look: Palm Tree Decals
Not everyone has the time or patience to paint a multi-colored sunset on their nails, so check out the next best thing – holo palm tree decals!
7. Neon Dream: Multi-Chrome Green/Blue Nail Polish
Another great nail polish that would look amazing under any holographic decal, would definitely be this chrome legacy color by “Polish me Silly“! 😍
8. Dashing Diva: The Best Nail Strips on Earth
and NO, I have not been paid to say that they are the best nail strips – they just are! I have a big stash that I keep because not only do they look incredible but they last much longer than the package says they do. For example, the pack I had on before the one I have on now last 3 weeks and 4 days, even though the package says they last up to 14 days.
I think the reason why these aren’t more popular than they are is because they would put nail salons out of business! They always have super cool colors & themes coming out too, so you never get bored.
Did I mention they are super simple to apply?
9. Elegant Edge: White Lace Decal
For an elegant touch, you can easily apply these white lace decals for a subtle, fancy & fabulous look!
10. When in Doubt, Activate the Accent Nail!
Incase you weren’t aware, the term “accent nail” simply refers to one or 2 nails on each hand that are painted/colored different than the others. It is a great way to spruce up your look if you don’t want to get too crazy.
Here are some of my favorite accent nail ideas & bold nail polishes that wll make them pop!
Holographic Accent Nail 💎
If holographic nails on all 10 fingers is a little much for you, try doing only one on each hand, like this:
For this look, you can find holographic nail polish in every color imaginable that will go perfectly with your main color you decide to use:
Chunky Glitter Accent Nails 💙
As you can see in the bottom of the photo, this polish comes in many different colors as well – giving you endless possibilities. My favorite is the “Cotton Candyland” mix, you see below:
Mr. Sparkle Boutique Glitter Polish
Make your ring fingers bling & make them absolute eye-catchers with this mega-glitter silver nail polish! Ooh-La-La!
Aqua Blue Glitter Nail Polish
Booming with color & variety, this gorgeous polish will make your head spin with pure and utter joy. Just look at it! 😲
Iridescent Nail Flakes
Whether you put these on all your nails or just one, these iridescent flakes are beautiful ways to top your favorite nail polish! Go light for a subtle reflective effect, or pile it on for a bolder, more holographic look!
Aren’t those flakes just to die for?! I can’t get over those. My favorite item on this easy nail art ideas list has to be the “Dashing Diva” nail strips though. They never fail me, never peel, scratch up or fade in color. If they ever stop making those, I don’t know what I will do with myself. 😂
What are your favorite, easy ways to make your nails go from boring to bomb? Let me know in the comments below! 💜
