Bandanas are a tried-and-true way to tie back your hair, protect your face or add a pop of color to your outfit, but the print also makes for standout nail art. Whether you opt for classic red or blue or choose a less traditional hue, bandana nail art instantly makes your manicure summer-ready. Keep reading for our favorite bandana nail designs on Instagram.

Cherry Crush

These hand-drawn bandana nails by Las Vegas-based manicurist @ajsnailss are exactly what we picture when we think of the timeless accessory.

Pop of Pink

For a cute, girly take on the bandana nail art trend, check out this bedazzled pink set by @nailbaekb. The translucent accents make the bandana print stand out even more.

Anything-but-Basic Blue

Who said you can’t mix a traditional bandana print with a little bit of glam? Rhinestones, glitter and a bandana French tip accent nail set this look apart.

Classic Black and White

This set is proof that a bandana print can totally be a neutral. The hand-painted brush strokes make the design look more free-flowing and organic.

Glammed-Up Green

Want your next set to look like jewelry? Take a cue from nail artist @shadesoflenda and sprinkle gold decals on your designs. We love the way the gemstones complement this avocado green hue. For a slightly more muted look, try applying Essie Cacti on the Prize.
