Nail Art Ideas Linkup (N.A.I.L.) is a fun way for all us nail polish fans to linkup together to share our designs! N.A.I.L. is hosted by Brijits Digits , Craftynail , Eeeek Nail Polish! and Nail That Accent! Each month we’re bringing you 4 or 5 nail art ideas so you’ll never run out of inspiration for your next manicure! It’s not a challenge per se, so you don’t have to do each week if you don’t want to, it’s just a fun way to linkup with others in the nail art community. You’ll find that as far as nail challenges go, N.A.I.L. is super flexible and stress-free!

How to Enter N.A.I.L. –

Paint your nails using the suggested theme for that month.

Post your pics on your blog, instagram, tumblr, fb, etc.

Enter your post into our inlinkz below to share your designs.

Do one of the weekly themes, or do them all. Also, the dates for each week are only suggestions- you can post your nails whenever you want during that month.

The nail art themes are open to interpretation so you can create whatever kind of design you want. Stamps, stickers, acrylics- anything goes!

Feel free to share and re-post our monthly graphics (below) to spread the word and use hashtag #NAILLINKUP on your social media.

Lastly but most importantly, don’t forget to share your nail pics via the inlinkz below. Each month’s inlinkz will be open for the duration of that month.

Thanks for stopping by! My name's Jacqui and I paint my nails more than a normal person should. But normal isn't fun, now is it? I update my blog regularly with fun nail art ideas, swatches and product reviews. So swing back soon to see what me and my crafty nails are up to!
