Simple Nails Designs: DIY for beginners

The plain-colored look is suitable for beginners. Simply paint your nails in trendy colors and make them an eye-catcher. If you like something more unusual, you can try mismatched nails in the next section. We show you step by step how the solid colors last for a long time on your nails.

This is what you need for the plain-colored Nails Designs to look

• Nail file
• Base coat for long wear
• Any color varnish
• Topcoat for sealing

Step 1: File

Use the nail file to shape the nails into the desired shape.

Step 2: Prepare

Paint your nails with the basecoat. This means the colored varnish has a better hold.

Step 3: Painting

Gradually paint the entire fingernails with the selected nail polish color.

Step 4: Long hold

By applying the top coat, the nail polish receives an additional protective layer for a longer hold.

Stripe Nails Designs

Not very experienced with nail design yet? No problem: This look is surprisingly easy to achieve and looks great.

This is what you need for the striped look

• Hand care
• Nail file
• Nail polish in the colors of your choice
• Brushes for nail design

Step 1: Care

It is important that your hands are well cared for and your nails are perfectly filed. Then you can get started.

Step 2: Prepare

Apply nail polish in a pastel shade to your fingernails and let it dry well. This will make the stripes stand out better later.

Step 3: Highlighting

Draw fine stripes over your fingernails with dark nail polish. Tip: If you mark the line with adhesive film beforehand, it will be pretty easy when brushing.

Triangles and Squares

That makes an impression: wide lines, cool squares, and triangles for the nails—the main thing is that they are beautifully graphic. We show how the look works and which products are best suited for it.

This is what you need for the graphic look

• Nail polish of your choice
• adhesive film
• Topcoat for sealing

Step 1: Varnish

Apply the first layer of nail polish to the nails and allow them to dry thoroughly.

Step 2: Taping and Varnishing

The first areas on the nails are marked with adhesive film. Then paint the free areas with a second color.

Step 3: Remove

Allow the nail polish to dry thoroughly before removing the adhesive strips.

Step 4: Taping and Painting

Mark areas again with adhesive strips. Then paint the free areas a third color.

Step 5: Remove

Also, allow the third nail polish to dry thoroughly, and finally, remove the adhesive strips again. The cool square look for your nails is ready. If you want, you can make your work last longer with a topcoat.
