Whenever you feel like it’s time to get your claws out, animal print nails will put you in the right mood. They are fierce, bold, and a lot of fun. Leopard, cheetah, tortoise, and cow are the most popular animal print nail art, and the possibilities of color combination go as far as the imagination can reach.
Therefore, as usual, I looked for the most popular animal print nail designs on Instagram and organized them into two groups: Neutral Animal Print Nails and Colored Animal Print Nails so you can have a more pleasant experience browsing and saving your faves.
My special thanks go to the nail design beast @learnahstarbuck_nailartist. Her animal print designs are to live for and she is responsible for the vast majority of inspirations you’ll see here. Gosh, I wish I was half as creative as the women I feature here! As I always say, make sure you follow these artists on Instagram. Let’s support each other’s money-making and creative energy, ok ladies? Together, we are the most powerful force of nature.
