This is a super beautiful and simple classy nail art design that goes with everything and will stay with you for a long time.

2. Black Tip French Nails

Yep, of course, after the classic French nails, we’ll show you this one with a black tip.

3. Classy Short Nails: Pink Hearts

Even though the pin links to Valentine’s day blog article, it doesn’t mean we can only wear hearts on our nails on Valentine’s day!

Because at the moment, the inconspicuous trend has become an absolute highlight of celebrities and influencers that I can no longer go into Pinterest without getting these nails displayed at least once.

We love it!

4. Classy Short Nails: It Goes On… 😉

Yep, it goes on. Because we also wear this sweet variant up and down this summer!

Simple, easy, minimalist – and always in good shape. Yep, that’s this sweet French nail variant.

5. Short Nails Summer: Dots, dots, dots…

We now come to the next mega nail trend this summer: the pastel nails.

In this particularly beautiful variant, many small dots in different pastel shades were applied to the nail tip and light rose color was used as a base.

Together, this is a wonderful play of colors, which really makes you want summer.
