1. Classic Unicorn Nails

Simple but eye-catching, this basic unicorn horn nail art is one of the hottest trends of the moment, and will find favour with all unicorn lovers. If you’re attempting this nail design on your own for the first time, perhaps go for a simple white design that would be easier to pull off.

2. Half and Half

Make the unicorn horn an accent instead of embellish every nail with it to avoid looking to over the top. You can also consider adding jewels for a more glamorous look.

3. Go holographic

If long nails are not your thing but you still want a funky look, try this nail design. Holographic shades and unicorns make a great pair and will make your nail look appears even more magical.

4. Pastel and Soft Ombre
