Proof of this is that sometimes we just need a step-by-step or tutorial to be able to make beautiful and easy nail designs at home, even myself, before: every attempt to do my nails was frustrating, they were always a mess! Now I’ve got better and I can even do some nail art tutorials on Youtube, and that’s this simple: just try and practice it, and everyone will get it done too! And nothing better than starting to practice with simple nail designs that are easy to do at home.

I divided these nail art designs into 3 categories of nails: very easy nails, nails that are easy but you need a little more time to recreate them and, finally, a category of easy nail designs for who, or for when, you have time and you’re in the mood of something easy but a little bit more elaborated. Now you can dive into the easy nail art designs below!
• Easy Nail art designs: super easy and simple nails

To make our life even easier, I have separated these simple nail art designs into different categories of easy ones, and in this first category: they are the ones that are the simplest and fastest nails to do, like very easy nails. They are easy nail art designs for beginners without tools that don’t require much time to do the nails, the kind of easy nails to do at home.
This first one in this category, the photo above, you just paint your nails with the color that will be your background nail color and use those striping nail tapes (as I used in this striped nail tutorial) to divide the nail and paint the second color, if you have more practice and skill, you can make the second color of nail polish freehand yourself, just with the nail polish brush.
Striped nail art: it’s super easy to do alone and you don’t need to know how to draw anything! It’s kind of the lazy-girl striped nail art! Check out the video tutorial with the step by step of these easy nail design idea that teaches you how to make striped nail art in the easiest way in the world (the video is not in English, but it’s very intuitive to follow):

Tip when doing any nail art with the nail adhesive tapes, or even if you are going to improvise with an office transparent tape: wait for the nail polish to dry completely! In this way, when it’s really dry, you don’t run the risk of “taking off a piece” of the nail polish, or even if you stick the tape in the wrong place, you can easily remove it and stick it back in the right place without problems of smudging or damaging your nails.

• Easy Nail Designs: Easy nails for when you Have Time to do them!
In this other category, this kind of nail art is still simple and they are still easy nail designs, but they are for that day when you already have a little more time and patience to do your easy manicure. They are simple nail ideas, but they require a little more work.
The nail tutorial above is from the blog pshiiit.com, which always has beautiful pictures, amazing nail art ideas, and super easy nail tutorials to follow.
You can do the polka dots on the nails with a dotting tool or for those who don’t have it: you can simply use a bobby pin, do you know that part that has a ball at the end? Just use it. 😉
The polka dots can be made again with the dotting tool or using the tip of a bobby pin or the nail stick, with that back part of the “toothpick”, by the way, a toothpick will work too.
And here’s the tutorial of the nails in the photo above:
Here’s a super cute idea and easy to do at home: strawberry nail art. A tip for those who don’t want to get all nails with nail art is to choose just one or two nails for the nail art, while all the others can remain with only one nail polish color. In this way, you can create a chic nail art look.
