Best DIY Options for Lavender Almond Nails

If you’re planning to do your own nails, or get some help from a friend, here are some of the easiest styles you can master without booking a nail salon appointment:

  • Full color coverage – obviously, the easiest thing anyone can do. Watch out though – you want to make sure that before you use the nail polish, your nails are nice and tidy, perfectly shaped and you wiped off any dust residues from the nails, to ensure a smooth and glossy finish.
  • Gradient ombre nails – all you need to pull this off are a few gradient shades of lavender nail polish, and then distributing each color on the individual nail. Very simple and look super classy – examples are listed in our roundup below.
  • Nail stickers – yes, a little cheating is allowed! Just use your base color as lavender and add pretty nail stickers, or use beige and get your nail stickers in pretty lavender color. Flowers, butterflies and geometric shapes are among the most popular options.
  • French tip nails – now this may require a bit of practice and patience, but with the right tools, anyone can master this classic nail design technique.
