The nail design inspirations online are immense, but I often find it hard to find the really wearable and elegant nail designs, so I went on the hunt for chic and beautiful red nail ideas. Especially for you, who like me, like to chose your nails and get elegant nail art without losing your style and elegance.

I picked different ideas of red nails and even some tutorials, separating them by easy red nail ideas, romantic nails, golden and red nail designs, and even some red nails with flowers, one for every occasion you want to choose a red nail design. After all, it’s not just on Christmas or Valentine’s day that we can wear red nails!

These nails are for when you want to nail nail designs (no pun intended ;), but you still want a simple and practical idea because sometimes “less is more”. Easy nail designs with red nail polish/gel polish are ideal for these days.
This one above is super easy to make by yourself and it’s known as negative nail art.
