4 Impressive & Simple Nail Art Tutorials You Can Totally Do Yourself

Nail art is one of those things that you either like or you don’t. Many people prefer to choose just one color of polish to accent their outfits. Creating even simple nail art certainly takes more time than swiping on one shade, but it’s also a great way to add more personality to your look!

Nail art doesn’t have to mean sequins and stickers, either. There are plenty of simple designs out there for a wide range of styles and interests.

These tortoise shell nails were so popular in the Fall, and I think they’d look great in summer as well.

Some tutorials use special polishes and materials to achieve the smooth tortoise shell look, but for this one you’ll just need polish and polish thinner or acetone. You may want to have an extra brush on hand, as there is some polish blending involved.

This is one of the most elegant-looking nail art tutorials I’ve seen, and it’s perfect for those who don’t want the bright colors and sparkly polishes often involved in other nail art tutorials.
