You may not be an artist, but you know what you want when it comes to your nails. When time needs to be put out of its misery, kill it with a manicure. Depending on the detail you're going for, you can do some seriously stellar works of art with a toothpick, a steady hand and some patience. These design ideas vary in difficulty and intricacy so you can do as much or as little as you want to achieve the look you've had your eye on. Grab some good colors and free your hand!
1. The Butterfly Effect
Unlike the movie, these are uplifting and happy. Don't you just want to jump out of a cocoon and yell "I'M HERE, WORLD" with nails like these? I sure do.
2. Sexy Silhouette
Images in silhouette are simple to do and clear in their theme. No matter what, you're sure to get the point across. Just push your polish into the shape you're aiming for and correct when dry with the background color.
3. The French Country Kitchen Look
This is a great way to get the most out of freehanding with two colors. The blue and bright, yellowish off-white make it feel like a country kitchen. This combo can sport designs from windmills to china dish–style flowers. So many possibilities!
4. Flower Power
These are a lot simpler than they look. The white is feathered out from one point into a triangle-esque shape to give the appearance of highlights on your flower petals. Cute and simple!
5. Check Mates
Chess is a game you play with your brain—and your hands. Help them look the part with this design. You don't have to do the whole chessboard, just a couple of squares here and there.
6. Kiwi For Me-wi
There are few designs as easy and delicious as these kiwi nails. If you can make spots, you can do these up in a jiffy.

7. Classic And Feminine
This design makes me think of a warm blanket on a cold day and some pumpkin spice tea. A light background and white flower print make these nails girly and neutral.

8. Mad Science
Chemical compounds can make for the most creative nail designs you can draw yourself. Lines and dots but, more importantly, you can look up compounds for things that mean something to you. So many possibilities!
9. Deets N' Daisies
Another take on the flower thing but with the lace thing happening too. This is great for accenting!
10. Simple Patterns Pop With Color
Get some bright colors and go wild. Those are the two instructions for this freehand wonder of a design.
11. School's Out But These Are In
These adorable designs are great for any time of year but September especially! Rock your classes in style with the essentials both in your hand and on it.
12. The Royal Family
You're a princess. We all are, thanks to Disney. Show it with a nail design fit for royalty!
