If there's anything to be gleaned from the vast number of mani Instagram hashtags, it's that there's no shortage of ways to dress up your fingertips. But every once in a while we're all in need of a little inspiration — consider this your go-to list for all things adorable puppy nails.
Whatever your skill level (if you're anything like me, it's rudimentary), there's something adorable on this list for everyone. That means that if you're short a whole drawer full of tools for minute details, there are a few details here that'll require little more than a toothpick.
A bone, for example, needs only two sets of side-by-side dots on either side of your nail, and then a line to connect them. And paw prints? Super easy. Look to the designs below for some inspiration for either a trail of prints or a single detail on a ring or index finger. (For the more experienced among us, you'll find some more detailed designs to spice up your next at-home mani, too.)
Not a dog person? (I kid.) No problem! We also rounded up a list of some of the cutest cat-inspired manicures on the web for all you cat fanatics.
