you paint your nails black, get some fishnet or something similar, get a different colour( metallic blue is effective) and place the fishnet on your nail, and carefully put the coloured polish over top then take the fishnet stuff off and your done! it looks really spacey :D

For those of us out there with a not-so-steady hand, try this. I like to first paint the nail a light color. I enjoy neons-- pinks, greens, purples, colors that pop and are funky. After that, I will let them dry (generally the neons take a few coats to really get the dramatic effect. I like NYC.) and after that, take a contrasting color.. my personal favorite is black with sparkles, and run the brush diagonally over either side of the tip, making a sort of triangle french tip effect. Two swipes and you're gold! Whether right or left handed, it takes minimal effort and aim, you can easily do both hands, and you still get an extremely excellent look out of it, very unique. I get a ton of compliments, and people asking me to do theirs this way.
**Note** This generally works best on square nails.

I've found that using liquid eyeliner to paint a design onto a nail works quite well, but let it dry for at least five minutes first, and then cover with clear nail polish, or it'll rub off immediatley.
One of my favourite designs is half black, half white etc for each nail etc. Experiment ;]

CHECKERED NAILS----i always get compliments when i do this and its really cool. First you get a clear nail polish and apply it to your nail. Wait for it to dry, then you paint your nail white(or whatever you want). Then you take a sharpy and start to make the little boxes as the checkered boxes(be sure to leave a space between ever box so you can see the white nail polish). After you have let it dry you apply another clear polish. Then you get checkered nails

I did two different designs in the past couple of months that I really like! I always try to be creative, but these were great. First one was this: I did my nails all black, and then got a toothpick and pushed it straight down onto a table so the end kind of smooshed and flattened into a circle. I dipped it in white polish (dripped on a piece of paper, not dipped in the bottle) and made polka dots. They all come out the same size so it looks really cool! The black and white looks great but you could do any color. The other idea I have on my nails right now: Paint them all red and use a silver gel pen (Gelly Roll's Lightning line of pens works best for this) to draw swirls and small dots on them. Just sort of randomly placed. Cover the design with clear topcoat. It looks very elegant and professional, I am proud of myself!

i'm currently having my right hand all bright yellow except the index finger painter bright pink. the left is all pink except the index finger yellow. then i paint small flowers on the index fingers. it is really funky cause the colours are so bright and draws attention. especially when the colours are so contrasting. i suppose bright orange can substitute the pink for a similar effect. a different effect can be created doing a french manicure with pink as the base and yellow as the tips. i imagine that it would look great.

for a great gothic look, i had all my fingers on both hands black except the index fingers which were painted red. and for my toes, they were all red with my big toe black. they look really cool, except that only black slippers can be worn, cause it will look really out of place with any other colour.

This is really nice if you so it propally ... You Paint The moon on your nail a lighter colour than you actual nail and then you could paint your moon baby pink then your nail a dark purlple orthe other way round if you dont have setencils then you can use a cellotape cut out the shape of your moon and then stick it so when you paint your nail you dont get it all over your nail and take it off when you do your normal nail ...but make sure you put top coat on your nail ..x ..x

By the Way im only 12

My favourite design is to paint all my nails except my left thumbnail with black and the thumbnail white. Then I draw a spiderweb over the white, either with liquid eyeliner or with a toothpick and nail varnish. The web seems to look best in black or silver. Then cover it all in clear/top coat!
