Creative nail art designs are a fun way to get expressive with a fairly ordinary product: nail polish. We’ve got some fun designs to please a younger crowd but are still super cute and applicable to the “young at heart”. These designs are easy to execute and fun to look at. With a little creativity some really cool nail art can be made.

Nail art is just another way for self-expression and creativity. You need just a few supplies to make this happen, the most important being a toothpick – this allows for some of the more detail work that occurs in a few of these designs. Use your imagination and try all kinds of different shapes, patterns and designs. Be sure to use a top coat to protect your masterpiece!

Supplies
