The natural nail trend has become a sign of confidence and simplicity for many of us as we realize we can achieve stunning looks even when visiting the nail salon isn’t an option.

That said, rocking your natural nails encourages some cute DIY ideas. There’s no better feeling than being able to achieve the designs you’ve longed for in the comfort of your home.
In the round-up below, you’re about to see a mind-blowing list of healthy long natural nail designs to inspire you on your very own journey, from solid tones to spunky animal print. Let’s get right into it!
