These Red French Tip Nails

Prefer shorter nails? Here’s a lipstick nail idea you can recreate without having to go to the salon. All you’ll need is a red nail polish, neutral nail polish, a nail art brush and a top coat. Paint on that neutral shade, then use your nail art brush to swipe a thin stroke on the top of your nail with your red nail polish.

These Shiny, Silver Super Long Nails

I love a holographic nail on any nail shape, and these holographic lipstick nails are no different. This manicure is definitely done with acrylic nails, so if you’re someone who loves long nails but can go without nail art, this chromatic trend is definitely for you.

This Funky and Wavy Lipstick Nails Idea

Wait, have you tried the wavy manicure trend yet? It’s fun on any nail shape, but it looks especially cool and retro on these lipstick nails. This is for the person that isn’t afraid to experiment with your nail shape and their nail art.

These Solid Red Nails

IMO, you either love a red manicure or you don’t. And if you’re someone who loves fierce red nail polish like this set, it’s an ideal shade for bold lipstick nails. Grab a nail file to shape your nail tip at a slight angle and watch the magic happen.

These Neon Ombré French Tip Nails

These pastel ombré nails are such a fun idea for your next set of lipstick acrylics. I love how colorful yet muted all of the colors are—and the lipstick shape gives it such a unique edge (literally).

This Louis Vuitton Ombré Nail Idea

Listen, lipstick nails aren’t exactly a low-key style, so why should your design be? This set of lipstick nails is all about luxury and Louis Vuitton—like, did you see that super-sweet Louis Vuitton stamp on the index nail? And if you’re not into super-long nails, this ombré design would look just as cute on shorter nails too.

These Chocolate Brown Nails

I’ve personally been loving brown shades for my own nails—it’s neutral and classy at the same time. While lipstick nails aren’t minimalist by any means, this soft brown nail polish gives this mani a minimalist vibe. And if you’re not ready to try it now, it would also be great for your Thanksgiving nails this year.

Everything about these lipstick nails screams ~chill vibes~. Don’t you just love the way the matte green nail polish and accent nail look together? Long extensions are encouraged for these bbs.

These Black and White Matte Nails

If your vibe is ~neutral chic~, welcome to your perfect lipstick nail idea. And if you don’t want to get all-matte nail polishes to recreate this, you can make any manicure matte with a mattifying top coat. Paint your regular colors, then finish it off with the topcoat to convert from glossy to matte instantly.

These Hot Pink Nails with a Kiss Accent

The cutest thing about this set of acrylic nails is that the accent finger has little kisses all over it. I meeeean, what’s better for lipstick nails than actual lipstick? Bonus tip: If you want to do this yourself, pick up some lipstick nail stickers and just peel and stick over a dry neutral base color.

14

This Cat Eye Lipstick Nails Idea

This pic combines two of my favorite nail trends—lipstick nails and cat-eye nail polish. Here’s how to do it: Paint one coat of magnetic nail polish on your nails, then before the nail polish dries, hover the magnet stick close to the nail for at least 20 seconds. The result? This 3D cat-eye effect.

15

This White Swirl and Glitter Nail Idea

Pink, white, glitter, and sparkly stickers all come together in this next-level lipstick nail design. It’s basically a way more sparkly French manicure, and I’m obsessed. Screenshot this for your nail technician and make sure to ask for gel extensions.

And unless you have pro-artist-level painting skills, I suggest you take this screenshot to your nail technician. I’ve def seen this trend around lately, so getting this green nail idea with the lipstick nail shape means you’re ahead of the curve, bb.

Into neon colors? Try this bright neon spring nail color. And if yellow’s not your favorite, don’t worry, because basically any neon color will go with the white and neutral accent shades.
