Animal Print Nails

Animal print nail designs are as diverse as the animals that inspired them. They are popular in the world of nail art because they're so unique and eye-catching and have long been a symbol of wealth and welfare. They are also great for seasonal trends. Applying such animal motifs in nail designs makes your nails look elegant and luxurious. Leopard, zebra, cheetah, snake, and tiger print nail designs, are at the top of the list. There's something about animal prints that makes them feel so cool and edgy. They're bold, daring, and sometimes even a little intimidating. But if you can pull them off, animal print nails will make you feel like an absolute goddess! Animal prints are always fashionable because they're easy to pair with other clothes and colors.
There's nothing quite like standing out from the crowd with a pair of hot pink leopard-print nails or black cheetah-print ones—especially when everyone else is wearing basic black or white polish. The best colors for animal print nails are dark reds and purples, as well as dark blues and greens (the latter two will go great with any animal). When choosing colors for your animal print nail designs, there's no need to go overboard. A bold red will look great against black or white backgrounds, as will a dark blue or brown. If you want something more subtle, try lighter shades like pink or yellow that blend in with the pattern of the print.
There are tons of designs that go well with animal print nails! But if you want something more traditional, try doing a French manicure with a lighter shade than your base color on top of it. That way, it looks like your nail has grown out into an extension of a fur coat! Or maybe try doing an ombré design.
Animal print nail designs can be bold and striking, but they don't need to be complicated! It's perfectly acceptable to paint your nails with one color and leave them at that—or even add some glitter if you're feeling adventurous! The key is not overwhelming yourself with too many different elements at once. If you like animal print and want to add color to your nails, here are some nail art ideas.

How to Choose the Best Colors for Animal Print Nails

It is common to apply animal print nail art in their natural colors. But in modern forms, actual patterns are inspired, and by combining them with various colors, such as multi-colored neon, pastel, chrome, or embellishments like glitter, new designs are created. If picking a color combo is not easy, trying multiple shades of the same color always works well. Give some spring or summer vibes using warmer colors like yellow or orange. Some colors between green and blue stand perfectly on animal print nails for cold seasons. If you can't decide between colors or even prints, just use them all creatively. Having outlines is also popular, using gold or silver.

Tips for Animal Print Nail Designs

You can get creative with the patterns and colors of your designs or keep things simple with one bold color.

Don't go too overboard. When doing an animal print nail design, it's important not to overdo it. If you have a lot of spots or stripes on each nail, they can end up looking too busy and overwhelming.

Do use animal print nails on one or two fingers on each hand, depending on what you're wearing that day. For example, if you have an animal print dress on, try using these nails as a way to tie the outfit together.

Don't wear animal print nails if they don't match your personality or style; they should fit with who you are as an individual! You want people to remember how amazing and unique they are—not how cute their nails were!

Use a top coat over your nail polish to make it last longer.
