9 of the best nail art Instagram accounts to follow

I’ve been at bh long enough to know there’s a healthy number of nail art fiends out there. Just click here to look at what some of you are capable of. And here. Oh, and here. See what I mean?
And if you’re Instagram users, then no doubt you love scoping out the work of some of the best nail artists. You may look to their snaps for inspiration, or just because they’re pretty, artistic, and very, very cool. (PS. If applying an extra coat is as creative as you get with your manicure, these accounts are still worth checking out. Trust me.)
Prepare to be blown away by the talent of these ‘grammers (cool kid slang for someone who posts on Instagram) - #nailinspo guaranteed.
@banicured_
Not only is this account filled with incredibly creative nail looks (like a Pac-Man screen and the Christmas Grinch), but it also features short video tutorials that show you how to recreate them. So clever!
@karengnails
These nail looks will appeal to those who like simple manicures (you know, ones that require less precision with a tiny brush). Plus, the photos themselves are really pretty.
@mpnails
This is the account for Madeleine Poole, celebrity manicurist and Global Colour Ambassador for Sally Hansen. It’s packed with photos of nails that are colourful, geometric, psychedelic and playful.
@missladyfinger
This one’s for the fashionistas. You’ll love how she transforms runway outfits into nail art designs. It’s truly amazing.
@thenailtrail
So much fun and colour on one Instagram account! Those watermelon nails are just adorable and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
@so_nailicious
Using a whole array of nail brands (everything from essence to Chanel), this girl creates gorgeous nail looks to suit any and every taste. Some are simple, some are more complicated, and all are a delight to the eyes!
@m_a_tom
This Brisbane-based talent covers everything from geometric designs to animals and everything in between. Our favourite? The nifty Frozen nail art look featuring Olaf the snowman.
@followthatway
The detail on all of the floral designs is absolutely flawless and truly impressive. The photography of her nails is also top-notch.
@iscreamnails
The increasingly famous Sydney and Melbourne nail salon is known for creating cute and colourful manicures that include flamingos, pineapples, unicorns, rainbows and more. The best part is that if you can’t do nail art on your own, you can take yourself to the salon and treat yo’self.

Thank you I am going to start following them right away. I grew my nails really long for my wedding, got SNS to protect them so I didn’t break them in the lead up and now I’m back to normal nail polish so I cannot wait to gain some inspiration to start creating some of my own designs again.

These are definitely works of art! If you are like me tho, and just can't paint that small, check out Jamberry wraps. Easy to use pre-printed nail art! I love them so much, now I sell them. Ask me if you want to see some.

As much as I admire nail art, I don't understand the point of it when nail polish doesn't last long. I prefer to express my creativity in other ways.
