6 Non-Basic Designs for Red Nails Simple twists on the classic color.

Bust out your thin brush and acetone, because we've got 6 easy riffs on the classic red manicure that you can do at home. Here, 6 non-basic nail designs for red nails.

METALLIC MOON;

The bold red base color is amplified by the metallic moon at the base. Go for a gold sparkly color like one of these, if you’re feeling fancy.







                                                   

DELICATE DETAIL;

Technically a tangerine red, but it looks so good we’re willing to bend the rules slightly. This design is topped with a delicate leaf design on the ring finger. Very subtle and pretty.







Cartoon Nails;

Channel your inner Betty Boop with this design. Paint the nails a red base coat then you use a brush to outline the complete nail. Next, create the 3D effect by adding white detail to the outer edges. Cover with a glossy top coat and you’re good to go.

Red Plaid;

Buffalo plaid is a fall favorite no longer confined to just flannel. To get the pattern on your nails, start by painting them a shiny base coat red. Use a lacquer like this one for the ultimate effect. Next, draw the pattern using black. For that extra look, shape your nails to a stiletto point.

Supreme Nails;

Let’s file this in the advanced at-home nail art category. It can be achieved by using a red matte base and applying gold decals. Also, a small nail stencil can create the Supreme lettering or you can try white decals. If you’re a legit artist, put your white paint and thin brush to work.

Stars No Stripes;

It’s fourth of July every day with this nail art. A red base coat is enhanced with over-sized stars that cover the whole nail.
