1. Playful kitty
When you see a packet of milk and adorable paws, the first thing on top of your head is probably a cat! If you love a playful manicure, this one’s for you.
2. Spoilt for choice
If you have a hard time choosing only one animal, why not pick a couple that you really love?
3. Eggs and chicks
This simple grey, white, and yellow palette is subtle yet eye-catching, all thanks to its adorable chick and egg design.
4. Whiskers
Don’t you love it when the nail artist puts in effort to perfect the details? Check out the whiskers of the cat and this colour combination of pink and grey.
5. Gummy bears
Compared to the many bear designs, we love how this one actually looks like a gummy bear! The bears go well with the sparkly and eye-catching coats of polish.
6. Spring is here
Soft and sweet, this spring-inspired nail art design with plaid patterns reminds us of picnics in the park.
7. Minimalistic with neutral tones
If you plan to go for a minimalistic look, this earth-toned design is definitely something that you should bookmark.

Although we don’t really experience spring in Singapore, those who like flowers and bears should give this look a try!
9. Pretty parrots
Going for something more unique, why not try out a fun 3D parrot design for your next manicure?
10. Chicks with cheeks
Chicks are adorable to begin with, but if you were to add 3D cheeks on them, our hearts might not be able to handle the cuteness.
11. Hamster alert
Do you know the famous character Bejou from Hamtaro? This nail art set with pink ribbons and hearts is a must for those who want a feminine manicure.
12. Miffy the rabbit
Another famous character we have here is none other than Miffy! Together with the choice of gold and orange, this colour combination is simply dazzling.
13. It’s a festival
Feeling bold? Why not go for something daring and one-of-a-kind? Some of the other animals that we can spot here include a rabbit, squirrel, elephant, and a pig!
14. Dog and bone
Here is one way you can fit an entire puppy on your nails. Along with paws and bones, this design shouts “I’m a dog lover!”
15. Sweet as a strawberry
We can’t resist this combination of bears and strawberries!
16. Rainbow rabbit
Along with its rainbow gradient, this design is both dreamy and clean.
17. Charismatic corgis
Corgis have a unique charm that hardly anyone can resist. They look even more adorable when you have them as 3D nail art!
18. Floral rabbit
Put a smile on your face every time you take a look at your nails. The well-matched combination of floral, pastel colours, and 3D rabbit nail art would brighten up your day.
19. Bashful bear
Isn’t it adorable how the colour of the bear’s cheeks changes accordingly to the temperature? The bear looks like it’s blushing!
20. ‘Kwiyomi’ kitty
‘Kwiyomi’ refers to a cute person or thing in Korean. In this case, we would use it to describe this lovely set of pastel colour kitty nails.
