Polka Dot Toenail Design
For this design, you’ll need a base coat, a white nail polish, and a dotting tool. Start by applying the base coat and letting it dry completely. Then, use the dotting tool to create small white dots on each toenail. You can arrange them in any pattern you like. Let the dots dry and then finish with a clear top coat.
Glitter Toenail Design
This design is perfect for a special occasion. You’ll need a base coat, a glitter nail polish, and a top coat. Apply the base coat and let it dry. Then, apply 2-3 coats of the glitter polish, letting each coat dry completely before applying the next. Finish with a top coat to seal in the glitter.
Striped Toenail Design
This design is simple but stylish. You’ll need a base coat, two different colored nail polishes, and striping tape. Apply the base coat and let it dry completely. Then, place the striping tape on your toenails in a pattern that you like. Paint one color over the tape and let it dry completely. Then, remove the tape and apply the second color in the empty spaces. Finish with a clear top coat.
Animal Print Toenail Design
This design is a bit more complicated, but the results are worth it. You’ll need a base coat, a light-colored nail polish, a dark-colored nail polish, and a toothpick. Apply the base coat and let it dry completely. Then, paint your toenails with the light-colored polish and let it dry. Dip the toothpick in the dark-colored polish and use it to create small animal print patterns on your toenails. Let it dry and finish with a top coat.
