1. Playful Cat Face Nail Art
This playful nail art features a cat face design that makes these nails extra fun. On a clean white background, black stars of various sizes are scattered across the nails for a chic abstract look.
But the real star is the single cat face that takes center stage on the middle finger. The adorable kitty is crafted out of simple black shapes – two ears, eyes, nose, and whiskers.

2. Blue Butterfly Nail Art Pop of Color
Add a bright pop of color to your tips with this beautiful butterfly nail art. Four of the nails are done in a classic French style, with clean white polish on the tips and a nude base.
But the middle finger steals the show, featuring a vivid blue butterfly outlined in black. Delicate white details fill the wings for added dimension.
The blue polish provides an eye-catching accent against the otherwise neutral nails. And the almond nail shape gives this mani a polished look from every angle.
3. Edgy Black French Tip Nails
Put a dark twist on the classic French manicure with these edgy black-tipped nails. The inky polish creates striking contrast against the nude base color.
And the application is impeccable, with straight lines and sharp corners on the tips. Tiny white polka dots accent the base of each nail for a surprisingly feminine touch.
The combination of colors and patterns makes this manicure ideal for a night out or date night. It’s chic with just a hint of rebel edge.
4. Milky Pink Ombre Nails
If you love an ombre look, this milky pink manicure is for you. The nails start with a bright pink polish at the tips that slowly fades into a sheer, glazy pink near the cuticles.
The gradient effect looks especially sleek and modern on the extra long, pointed stiletto shapes. And the application is silky smooth.
Light reflects off the glossy surface for added dimension. It’s an elegant take on the pink ombre trend.
5. Bold Pink Ombre Nail Art
Similarly, this ombre nail design fades from a rich fuschia pink into a transparent base, putting the long stiletto tips on full display.
The dark reddish pink polish has a creme finish, looking vibrant and lush against the clear sections.
And you can’t ignore the fierce length and sharp points of the nails, which create a bold silhouette. This manicure makes a serious style statement!
6. Elegant Pink and White Swirl Nails
Beauty lies in the details, as seen with this mesmerizing nail art. The base color is a soft blush pink, in a near-nude tone that’s ultra feminine.
But the accent nails dazzle with an artful design of pink and white swirled together in marbled patterns.
The mixture of colors and shapes is eye-catching without being loud. Set on the glossy almond-shaped nails, the whole look is polished and posh.
7. Sweet Floral Nail Art Design
What’s sweeter than floral nail art for springtime? This manicure brings together tones of pink and white in a darling botanical design.
A selection of nails features hand-painted white flowers with five petals each. The clean details pop against the nude base color.
And several nails are tipped with a milky pink for an added glow. The touches of glossy pink enhance the 3D effect of the flowers. It’s a charming mani for the ultimate girly girl.
8. Delicate White Leaf Nail Art
If you prefer minimal, detailed designs, you’ll love these white leaf nails. Each almond-shaped nail is decorated with delicate leaf patterns made of thin white lines against a sheer nude base.

It’s the type of nail art that rewards a close-up view to admire the intricacies.
9. Extra Long White French Tip Nails
French manicures will never go out of style, but this modern take feels fresh and new. The square-shaped nails are coated in a creamy nude polish.
About halfway down each nail, there’s a stark white tip painted on top. The negative space creates a chic, elongating effect. And the nude base has subtle shimmer for added depth and sheen.
Two nails per hand also feature mini white dots right above the tip. It’s those types of details that give this classic mani a fashion-forward upgrade.
10. Pink French Tips with Bows
If traditional French manicures seem too boring, liven them up with these adorable pink and bow nails!

The soft hue feels younger and more playful. And on the ring finger, a small white bow made of lines and dots sits atop the pink tip. It’s a girly accent on an already feminine mani.
11. Ombre Pink Nails with Heart Accent
Pink ombre nails get a sweet touch with this fun accent nail. Most of the long, oval-shaped nails fade from bubblegum pink on the tips to totally sheer by the base.
