Cow-print nails are the unexpected mani you’ve got to try. Since the bovine beauty trend first burst onto the scene, it’s experienced unexpected staying power–and become the must-have manicure of the summer that will take you seamlessly into fall! A whole moo-d, if you will (sorry).

If you’re into classic animal prints, cow nails are a fun way to mix things up–and a negative space version of the trend looks super chic. Just add a touch of the black-and-white print to each nail for a stylish and subtle take. Bonus: These cow-print nails are super easy to achieve. Perfection is not required!

Cow Nails Design

Supplies:

White nail polish
Black nail polish
Clear top coat

Instructions:

Step 1: Start off by painting the abstract wavy shape in white on the side of your nails. Repeat with a second coat.

Step 2: Then start painting odd, imperfect shapes in black to create cow spots.

Step 3: Continue filling in the rest of the wavy shapes with the black cow prints. Let your nails dry and add a top coat!
