Sunset
Nail Polish Shades Required: Yellow, Orange, Black
Don't get worried reading the name, This is a very simple design to try out. First, give your nails a wash with the yellow color using the nail polish brush. Let it dry. Then, with the thin brush, take a little orange color, and draw a tiny sun in the center of the nail. You can also reverse the colors if you want. After the sun dries up, take the black color, and draw tiny black 'V's, which will look like birds flying away into the sunset.

Flags
Nail Polish Shades Required: White, Colors of flags you wish to draw.
For this idea, you need to decide whether you want to draw just one flag on all nails, or different ones on each. It depends on the occasion as well. Once you decide that, you also need pictures of these flags, so that you don't mess up the flag, and end up wasting a lot of nail polish and remover. First give all your nails a wash with the white nail polish. Then, referring to the picture, use the thin brush, and the respective colors of the flags, to draw them on the nails. Let them dry.

Vine with Flowers
Nail Polish Shades Required: Green, White, Bright Red
First, paint all your nails white. Then, take the thin brush, dip it in the green color, and draw a meandering vine from one corner of the nail, to the opposite diagonal corner. Draw some small leaves on the vines at regular intervals. Once the vines dry, take the red color with the thin brush, and make some pretty flowers, between the leaves.

Midnight Moon
Nail Polish Shades Required: Black or Dark Blue, Light Blue, White, Silver
This nail art idea will give your nails an elegant look. First, using the dark blue or black, paint your entire nail.

When the consistency is thin, almost like water, apply it with the nail polish brush over the dark blue. The two colors should mesh, and both should be seen. Then, after they dry, use the thin paint brush to draw some stars with the silver color, and a striking crescent moon with the white color!
