Moo-ve over leopard print (cheesy pun intended), because it’s time to give trending cow print nail art a try. A quick Instagram search for the hashtag #CowNails boasts thousands of results to get you inspired. The coolest part? No matter how you recreate the look, you can make it your own. Each take on the cow print nail trend is a little different. Some go all out with the bold print on every single finger, while others are easing into the trend with a single statement nail.

Ahead, find a few of our favorite cow print nail looks.

Cow Print on Acrylics

To recreate this classic cow print look at home, paint your nails with a white base and dab on some spots using a black shade. It’s surprisingly easy to do because perfection is not key here and every nail can look a little different.

Pink Cow Print Nails With Actual Cow Art

Adding pink is a way to put a playful spin on cow print nails. Try painting an actual cow on one nail to really set off the adorable factor.

Abstract Cow Print Nail Art

If you’re serious about your nail art, we suggest choosing an abstract design like this for your next nail appointment. It’s a way to dabble in cow print without diving right in.

A French Cow Tip (Pun Intended)

Spice up your typical French manicure with some spots. Your mani will be on trend and still exude a whole lot of class.

Cow Print Nails Minimalism

Want to participate in the trend but you’re more of a minimalist? Then this negative space design is for you. Use Essie Hard to Resist Nail Strengthener Treatment in Glow & Shine for your base to give nails a healthy sheen before adding spots.
