We recommend For Your Nails Only, Painted Lady Fingers, Hey, Nice Nails!, Burgers and Nails, and 365 Days of Nail Art as worthy of an Internet bookmark. Find out why.


For Your Nails Only
foryournailsonly.net
This blog is all freehand nail art from a Cornell graduate who started out with a polish swatch blog, then taught herself how to do remarkable nail art. We’re amazed that there are no stamps or decals in any of her stunning designs. The blog also hosts fun contests, like the Nail Polish Ambition Contest and the Palette Awards.

Painted Lady Fingers

More than 2,000 followers can’t be wrong. This Philadelphia-based lady has a penchant for glitter and Konad nail art stamps. Enlarge any of her photos with a click of the mouse.

Hey, Nice Nails!

Two sisters, a professional manicurist and a graphic designer, share their nail art designs. They take inspiration from everywhere, including New York Fashion Week nail designs and seasonal trends.

Burgers and Nails

This quirky blog features almost-daily posts highlighting two of our favorite things: burgers and nails. The juxtaposition of elegant OPI polish against mustard-falling-out-of-the-burger is not to be missed. Plus, many of the submissions show the diners with cute nail art on their digits.

365 Days of Nail Art

This is a shameless plug for one of our own blogs, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention 365 Days of Nail Art. Featuring a nail art design a day by blog readers, you could get lost in these archives for days. Plus, use the lefthand menu bar to sort the designs by category, such as acrylic, bridal, or murals.
