All jewelled up

Love embellished nails but don’t know where to start? Simply pop a jewel sticker in the centre of your nail and seal it with a top coat.

Colourful dots

Believe it or not, you don’t need to paint your entire nail to make a statement. Simply grab your favourite colourful polishes and a toothpick and recreate this mani in a jiffy.

Glitter waterfall

This glitter-tipped manicure is super easy to create. Simply grab a chunky, shimmer formula and paint the top half of your nail. Let it dry completely and repeat. If you want sparkle-drenched tips, use a sponge to press on the glitter. Finish off with a clear coat of varnish.

Minimal dot details

The addition of the black dot on nude nails takes the design up a notch. For the perfect speck, use a toothpick or a thin eyeliner brush.

Confetti outlines

This multi-coloured design is an instant mood-booster. Simply take a dense eyeshadow brush and line the sides of your nail.

Minnie mouse points

Using a safety pin and some white polish, you can take any solid polish base to the next level with minimum effort. It’s a great option for when you feel like drawing lines freehand is a challenge.

Pink fade

Multicoloured manicures have been the rage for a while now but this tonal take on the trend looks dreamy and demure. Plus it’s a great option for when you just cant pick one colour to paint your digits.

Lavender swoops

Yellow and grey may have been declared the Pantone colours of the year but lavender is sure enjoying its big beauty moment. Take your nail polish brush and paint on uneven wavy lines of colour and call it a day.

Silver half moons

Can’t commit to a solid silver manicure? Try this half-moon version with any metallic colour of your choice.

Abstract whites

Once you have mastered the above designs, it is time to test your skills. Using a thin pencil or brush, draw a few wavy lines on your nails. Remember, the cleaner the design, the more it will stand out.
