One of the hardest styles to do is the cartoon character nail art. It is, however, fun and fantastic! There are nail stickers for this, but you can do it manually as well (which is more difficult since you have to see to it that you’re painting the characters accurately).
For the Barbie nail art above, you can see that it has gems as well since Barbie is that girly and stylish character that girls definitely love! Its pink color and shades is exactly Barbie’s color.
You can have your childhood favorites on your nails! Bring back memories and enjoy looking at them through your own hands.
