Cute Cat Nails

Let's start with cute kitties for your fingertips. We like how they face us so we can see their expressions. Each hand painted cat is unique, too. When you've made this much effort to have the perfect cat manicure, it’s wise to use a durable nail enhancement so it lasts as long as possible. We like to begin with rubber base coat. This strong and flexible polish smooths the surface and improves adhesion to prevent chipping. Moreover, it comes in beautiful hues for every skin tone.

Simple Cat Nail Design

If you can doodle, you can do nail art. Can you see how simple it is to draw the cat's face outline and fill in the paw prints? It only requires a thin brush to draw basic shapes like squares, triangles, and circles. You might also try doodling with a dotting pen as it can be easier to control than bristles.

Cat Accent Nails

Here is a cat nail design that allows you to add plenty of sparkle. The cats are facing away from the viewer, so they don't require a lot of detail, just an outline. This glitter polish reminds us of the way that cat eyes reflect the light.

Halloween Black Cat Nails

No cat nail design article would be complete without Halloween nail art. Black cats get a bad rap, but true fans know that they are not bad luck. Instead, our furry midnight friends are full of fun and snuggles.

Kitties in Costumes

Pretty much every cat that has been cared for by human children gets dressed up at least once. Whether or not that scenario features hissing and scratches has a lot to do with the cat's personality and the human’s ability to bribe their feline. We find it much easier and safer to paint cats in costumes than actually dressing them.

Cat Silhouettes

Give yourself a cat manicure that is sure to get second glances. This may be a simple look, but everyone will want to know where you got your claws done.

International Cat Day

These expressive kitties on ombre nails were created to celebrate International Cat Day. Designs like this are straightforward when you have highly pigmented polishes that only require one coat per color. If you don't have an airbrush to blend the shades, try using a makeup sponge for the gradient effect.

Elegant Cat Nails

Here's a refined look with black cats in silhouette. Paint them on a chrome base and end with a matte top coat for the soft metallic finish. You may find that nail stencils or stamps can help with keeping the details consistent.
