Anybody know any easy nail designs?

i really want to know some EASY nail designs. i want them to be cute and the only colors i have are white, pink, lime green, red/maroon, and like a metallic orange. please be descriptive and if you could add a pic or somethin! thanx!Anybody know any easy nail designs?
a really cute and quick fix is to use french manicure smile line strips, or ones you can cut out of tape yourself, and create colored tips (or white for a more conventional look), and then creating some kind of design on them, like polka dots, leopard spots, stripes, etc.. you could make really easy dots using the blunt side of a toothpick. you could also paint really simple flowers by creating 5 dots in a circle with one contrasting-colored dot in the middle.





another sort of advanced technique you could try is water marbling. you get a bowl of water, add drops of different colored polish, then create a design with a toothpick and dip your nail in. here's a good tutorial for it:

also, if you'd like to get craftier, acrylic craft paints are perfect for nail art, and they're only like 45 cents a bottle at walmart. they're MUCH easier to work with than nail polish because they aren't as gooey or stringy, and if you mess up, you can just wipe it off with a wet tissue because they're water-soluble. use a tiny paintbrush and do whatever design you'd like. just make sure to seal it with a topcoat.





here are a few inspiring sites from my absolutely disgustingly vast collection of nail art bookmarks:

But if your just going with what you have then i would go with pink and white together or orange and green together.
use any of those colors and just do a regular coat,


and then use any other color and do dots from your pinky to your thumb.


do one dot on the pinky, two on the ring finger, three on your middle finger, four on your index finger, and five on your thumb.


and do the same on the other hand.
I Put Black Pedecures AND Manecures instead of white.


It comes out so cute. and its easy.


you can try diffrent colors too.





Happy Holidays!!!
