2. Nail art stickers also comes in different designs..like this one from Maybelline..it has hearts, moustache, etc..like these, you get tons of designs to choose from..just stick it on your nail and you are good to go.
3. Use cellotape. You can do French, diagonal, half and half..many different designs with a cello tape..just apply a base coat, cello tape on how you want the design to be and another color on the opposite side..thats it..
I did a reverse french using a cello tape here..the base is Keep Up the Flame (red) and Denim Dash (blue) on the tips..I did the opposite on the other hand but since Denim Dash is matte..the red was not showing up on it..and it did not look neat enough. But I loved how the blue came up on this red. You can try different options in colored French Manicure.
Here are few more designs..
Slide Show: Diagonal Stripes..using Orange Fix and Buried Treasure.
Cat Stripes: Using Bold Gold as base and Blackout for stripes.
Reverse French : Using Tenacious Teal and Crazy Berry
