Easy Nail Art Designs for Toenails: original NailMuse manicure inspiration

If you are deciding what to save for your next appointment, start with the overall colour and finish, then use the ideas below to choose a design that fits your nail length, daily routine and preferred level of detail.

The NailMuse edit

Five ideas to try

01

Big-toe flower

Keep the smaller toes in one block colour.

02

Micro-French

A narrow edge looks clean and works with sandals.

03

Two-colour dots

Place a short dotted line on the big toe only.

04

Rainbow set

Use one colour per toe rather than tiny complex motifs.

05

Matching accent

Repeat one manicure colour on the pedicure for cohesion.

Salon-ready brief

What to ask for

“Choose one readable big-toe motif and one supporting colour for the remaining nails.”

Useful note

Trim toenails straight across and allow plenty of drying time before closed shoes.
