Go wild with this fun zebra print nail art. I mixed black, white, and brown stripes for a fresh take on the classic animal print. This video shows how great they look on, perfect for adding some personality to your outfit.
You're a star. This client wanted a Y2K inspired look, so I painted these bold black stars on a neutral base and added some tiny rhinestones for extra sparkle. It's a fun, trendy design for any nail length.

About Client Looks & Styles
My biggest tip? Don't stress about fit. Every set in this gallery was made by measuring the nail beds from thumb to pinky, so they sit flat and look natural, not like plastic stickers. If you like a shape you see here, we will just adjust the dimensions to match your actual nails, whether you have short nail beds or long ones.
Whether you are scrolling through these photos for inspiration or trying to decide on your first set, there is one thing to know: what you see is exactly how they look on. People ask me all the time, 'Are these going to look like glue-on nails from a store?' The answer is no. Because I hand-paint and size these for you, you get that salon-finish shine without the hours of waiting in a chair.
Why these styles work
- The Fit: Whether it is the starburst pattern on short nails or the classic French tips on longer, almond-shaped nails, the key is the curvature. I tailor the base width for your specific nail bed.
- Versatility: You can go from 'soap nail' minimalism for work to full-on maximalist art for a weekend party.
- Durability: Use the sticky tabs for a 1-2 day event or the strong glue for up to 2 weeks of wear. These are reusable press-ons, so you are not wasting money on a one-time look.
Choosing your vibe
If you are feeling the zebra print or the abstract waves, just send me a screenshot of the image you liked. We can keep the same color palette or swap it out to match your outfit. Don't worry about nail length either—I can adapt almost any of these designs to fit short, medium, or long nails. If you have an idea in your head, even a rough sketch, shoot it over. That is how the best sets get made.
