From Hannah Barbera classics like Scooby-Doo and The Jetsons to modern favorites like Adventure Time and Pokemon, cartoons are a part of us.
We grow up together with the characters we love, but we don’t have to outgrow them. You can take Scooby, Judy, BMO, and Pikachu with you every day with cartoon nail art.
There are a ton of ways that you can incorporate cartoons into your nail aesthetic. For the sake of brevity, we’re only going to go over a few of our top cartoon nails.
To see more cartoon nails that didn’t make the list, all you have to do is take a scroll through Instagram or Pinterest for a virtually infinite amount of inspiration.
Clear nails with characters on the tip are one way to get this look with a maximum amount of detail. By using a clear base coat instead of a solid color or patterned background, you draw the focus to your intricate character drawings.
If you want this look without spending hours painting, you can use stamps, stickers, press-on nails, or polish strips for the same effect in as little as half the time.
Can’t decide which cartoon to use for your nails? Keep it simple and try pop art nails for a comic book cartoon style aesthetic that will have your nails looking super.
You can quickly achieve nail art that even Andy Warhol would be proud of by using bright, vibrant colors in tandem with jet black thick outlines and primary color polka dots.
Want to mix up your cartoon nails? Consider incorporating a character’s catchphrase or onomatopoeia words like “bang,” “crash,” “woosh,” and “pow” to add some bold typography to your cartoon nails.
