Geometric manicure conquered the nails of many women a few seasons ago, and it is not going to give up its position. This nail design always looks very fresh and bright!
See our photo selection of geometric manicures with painted animals, trendy in 2020.
In manicure, graphic silhouettes of various animals came from tattoo art: there, drawings of foxes, cats, pandas and other animals in a geometric style are in great demand.
Manicures with animal patterns were not uncommon before, but this unusual style has become much more popular among girls, because it is very creative and interesting!
Most often, a geometric manicure with animals is performed with gel polish, but both regular varnish and voluminous, clear acrylic figures on nails can look no less impressive.
As usual, this design is performed on long or medium-length nails: short nails do not allow for a large, spectacular image due to limited space.
For a manicure in this style, it is necessary to use a thick and monochromatic varnish: inclusions of various sparkling elements are undesirable, because they can overload the manicure and look very tacky.
In addition, due to all kinds of sparkles, the manicure will lose its clarity and graphics, which should not be allowed! You should also not use translucent varnishes, which require a lot of layering.
Also, don’t decorate all your nails with geometric animals, especially if the image is complex and unusual!
The abundance of such designs on nails turns creativity into absurdity, this is worth keeping in mind. If you want to look stylish, highlight no more than four nails in this way.
How to do it?
Any geometric manicure involves the use of three simple techniques for its implementation, and geometry with animals is no exception.
This nail design can be made using stickers, stencils, or drawn by yourself: the latter option is the most beautiful and original, but you will need good artistic skills!
Stickers for nails
Animal stickers help you create a very complex and unusual manicure without any drawing skills. However, you still need to be careful: stickers are often applied carelessly, and this ruins the entire manicure!
If you don't know how to handle them, try using iron-on adhesives: they shrink as they cool, giving you plenty of time to position them correctly.
Manicure with stencil
Stencil manicure with animals is the most common option, because it is done simply and quickly, and the manicure turns out beautiful and very smooth, which is important for geometric designs.
Of course, manicure using a stencil implies limitations in design, but the huge number of stencils on sale compensates for this.
Drawing
This method may seem complicated, but it turns out to be the most natural, creative and interesting.
To perform a geometric manicure yourself, you will need at least basic drawing skills, because straight lines in such a design are very important! Most often, the design is done with a thin brush, needle or comfortable marker pen.
Whichever option you choose, remember that rushing with geometric nail designs is unacceptable. Draw all parts of your manicure slowly and gradually, moving from large to small and from light to dark.
Calmness and thoughtfulness will help you create the perfect manicure that won’t have to be redone!
Colors and ideas
In geometric nail design, there is a contrasting and non-contrast manicure: the first involves the use of bright and different colors, and the second - the most similar and adjacent, as if complementing each other.
Most often, a contrasting option is used, because such nails should not go unnoticed!
The most popular color for drawing animals in a geometric style on nails has been and remains black.
Most often it is used in combination with white color, which is used as a base color on nails: this combination looks classic, but at the same time very original and interesting! Look at the example in the photo:
Also, in addition to white, black animals on nails go well with pastel colors: delicate lilac, pink or blue, beige, as well as other muted and soft shades.
This combination creates an unusual contrast that attracts attention: the nails are made in a delicate and feminine shade, and the decoration on them is in a sharp and rough black color.
Geometric manicure with animals is an original and fresh trend that has already been appreciated by many girls. Are you among them?

Manicures with animals periodically come into fashion in different variations. Nail art itself is extremely trendy this season, so it's no surprise that beautiful animal print designs are back in demand. We offer to study the most fashionable trends of the season, new ideas from nail art masters, and learn how to make a step-by-step drawing in the form of an animal yourself.
Features of animalistic design
Of course, most of the fans of this nail art are young girls, however, images of animals are quite appropriate in age-appropriate designs. Of course, a pink bear on a vanilla background will look strange in the manicure of a 30-year-old woman. But an elegant owl, a seagull, and subtle feline features will suit anyone. It is absolutely not necessary to draw animals on all the nails; it is enough to highlight one or two to create the desired effect and attract attention.
In fact, there are incredibly many options for depicting animals. And they are made in different styles, techniques, and are combined with other types of design. It is a mistake to think that animal drawing is always simple and even primitive. The composition can be quite complex and sophisticated. In addition, discreet nail art with animals will fit perfectly into your everyday look, especially if you prefer creative ensembles.
There are several ways to create animal designs on nails: hand painting using varnishes, gels and paints, appliques, decorative slides. In any case, there is always a choice and it depends on your taste and skills.
Animal nail art techniques
Technically, there are quite a few options for implementing an animal design; most often they are used in combination. You can consider the most popular methods.
Using paints and special brushes, which should be purchased in advance at a professional store. However, certain skills are required to implement it. If you are preparing for a celebration, it is better to trust a professional, especially if you are not very confident in yourself. Or you need to first properly fill your hand on pieces of paper, and then move on to your nails.
Animal print is a great solution for creating the necessary mood. Leopard spots and zebra stripes are much easier to make yourself, and you can complement the composition with stones, rhinestones and glitter.
Gel polish is an excellent choice for those who prefer durability and know how to work with it. Paint on gel polish with regular paints or acrylics.
Cartoon characters are easier to make and very popular among young people; try creating the faces or silhouettes of Disney characters and Teddy bears.
If all this is not for you, look for the appliques or stickers you need, this method is the simplest and requires almost no skill, in addition, it is safe for your nails.
It is better to buy such decor in specialized stores for nail art masters; they have a large selection of high-quality and non-vulgar applications.
If you are a fan of minimalism, try stamping. This design looks realistic and modest. It requires stencils with the necessary types of animals and a special varnish.
- Graphics and origami are another technique that allows you to realize the image of an animal. You will get an abstract and even surreal composition.
How to prepare your nails
First of all, the nails must be cleaned, and if everything happens in a professional salon, they will be cleaned with a machine. If you decide to act on your own, do not neglect the recommendations of specialists.
Hands must be washed thoroughly and tools must be disinfected: files, tweezers, cuticle sticks. Hygiene is a beginner nail artist’s best friend, even at home.
Work with the cuticle, remove it or push it back with a special spatula, but first soak your hands in a hot bath with sea salt to make the procedure easier.
File dry nails with a file, giving them the desired shape. If you need the help of scissors, use them before steaming, otherwise you risk seriously damaging your nails.
moisturize your hands and nails with cream.
Step-by-step algorithms for performing drawings
Immediately before manipulation, degrease your nails with the product you usually use to remove polish. This will make the coating more durable.
Master class (MK) with stickers
It can be any image: panda, dog, zebra and others. You can buy stickers of a raccoon, turtles and even an elephant. Everything depends only on your desire, but the sequence of execution is always the same.
We apply a transparent base and main coating; it should be in harmony with the selected image and form a single composition with it. You may need more than one base coat, depending on the varnish you choose, it is important that it does not show through.
Then the nails must dry; special lamps are used for this.
After that we glue the stickers. Either for all nails, or just accent ones. It depends on your taste and the image you are creating.
A transparent strengthening coating is applied over the drawings, and then you need to let it dry.
MK on creating compositions with stencils on French fabric
If you want to spice up the classic white French manicure a little, try a design with graceful birds or animals. However, relevance is important here; the stencils you choose should not contradict the minimalist French style. We offer you a laconic and stylish design option:
apply the base and let it dry;
glue the stencil below the nail edge and fill it with white paint or varnish;
remove the bird or animal stencil and apply a transparent fixative.
There is no need to strictly place the pattern on all nails the same way. If you chose birds as the image, a chaotic arrangement will look much more interesting. In addition, it is enough to design only one or two accent nails.
Highlighting one finger with a shiny varnish in the same color scheme as the main design will fit perfectly into the ensemble.
MK on creating insects
As an example, let's take a ladybug, as it is the easiest to perform for beginners. In the future, you can experiment with butterflies and dragonflies.
Apply snow-white varnish to a transparent base, let it dry, the number of layers may vary.
Take a brush and red varnish and draw a circle. You adjust the number of circles yourself based on the number of insects you want to depict.
Use black varnish to paint the back, paws and whiskers, using the thinnest brush.
Make dots using dots, you can also draw white eyes with it.
Be sure to apply sealer.
The dots can be made with small rhinestones, then your drawing will be shining and unusual.
Decorative elements
Nail designs with animal images are quite catchy, but it does not exclude the use of various decorative elements and a combination of different manicure techniques.
Manicure with animals is one of the fashionable trends in nail design over the last couple of years. Today, it is especially relevant among young people, as it allows you to show your style, mood, express your feelings and emotions, just with the choice of manicure design.

Animal nail designs
The original design of nails, on which animals are depicted, looks different, depending on the style in which it is made, on the combination of colors and the design itself. Young girls today often choose designs on their nails with animals on them, the faces of funny kittens, pandas, foxes, mice, owls, etc.
You can draw them very simply, in literally twenty minutes, especially if you practice on paper beforehand. The design is applied to the finished varnish coating after complete drying. To apply drawings, you can use a thin brush and dots. When making drawings, it is important that there is no smearing or shifting, so you need to take your time and wait for the drawing to dry well. For example, when drawing the eyes of a panda, it is important to let the black dots dry well and then draw white eyes on them.
Funny faces can be depicted on each nail, or on the nail of one finger, and leave the others with a regular monochromatic coating.
You can also use a whole gallery of drawings if you have the gift of drawing. For example, on each nail, depict a cat in different poses, as if she were jumping. You can depict animal tracks, their eyes, color and very skillfully combine all this in the overall nail design! Your possibilities can only be limited by your imagination!
