Zebra Nails

Zebra nails are one of my all time favorite designs. I like the nice and simple black and white stripes, but you can get crazy with them too if you want. Check out some of the cool zebra nails below, plus a video tutorial on how to do the zebra nail design. This first one is incredible because there is actually a zebra face on one of the nails. If you look at the ring finger, you can see the eyes and ears of a zebra. This is so cute and I love it! The other nails look amazing as well and the pattern was really well done on these. The black and white go really well together and they look stunning all together. Definitely the best zebra nails that I have ever seen.







Also check out this video tutorial on how to do zebra nails. You can read the steps below, but should also check out the video to see exactly how to do the zebra stripe pattern on your finger nails.
  1. First, start out with a white base coat. Make sure you apply a thick coat, or multiple coats so that your nails are completely white.
  2. Use a fine tip brush and black nail polish to create the zebra stripes. This is the tricky part. You will want to watch the video to see exactly how she does it. It is also helpful to have a picture of a zebra print to go off of. I would recommend getting a good zebra print image and then just copying it as close as you can when doing the stripes on your nail.
  3. Apply a clear top coat to protect the design and to make your nails shine and stand out!

Newspaper Nails

Check out these amazing newspaper nails. They are so cool because the print comes directly from a newspaper. Newspaper nails are a finger nail designs where the nails have words on them from a newspaper. They are usually the same color and style of a typical newspaper, like grey or green. Check out the images and how to youtube video below. They are slightly complicated to do, so if you want to do these for yourself, make sure you check out the youtube video tutorial at the end on how to do them. They are totally worth trying out though, because they are so unique and everybody loves them.
Here is what the normal design looks like. They are usually a grey base coat, newspaper print, and then a top clear coat. They are awesome because it looks like your nails are a newspaper! You can also use basically any part of a newspaper. So if you want small letters or big letters, just find a section of the paper you want and use just that section.









Here is the how to video that is extremely helpful. 



  1. Start with a base coat, then a coat of light grey.
  2. To transfer the newspaper print you need some rubbing alcohol. Pour some rubbing alcohol into a small container and then dip your nail into it for a few seconds.
  3. Press a newspaper page onto your nail firmly for about 15 seconds.
  4. Peel off the newspaper and the words from the ink should stick to your finger nail.
  5. Apply a clear top coat. This is probably the most important step because the newspaper print will rub off extremely easily without it. The clear top coat will prevent the lettering from being washed away or being rubbed off.
