Lip nail designs might be small in size, but they have a lot of personality. These little kisses add sassy energy that make a manicure more fun. Let’s take a peek at various lip nail looks to liven up your next set.
Lip Nail Designs
Sugared Kisses
Dust that perfectly drawn lip nail design with a little sugar. Use acrylic or dip powder to emboss a kiss on your fingertips.
Here the artist chose creamy colors for the kisses and glitter for the base, but it’s just as easy to reverse that. Shimmery lip nails would be even more fun! Picture what would happen if you painted the design with cat eye gel. They would look like frosted lip gloss.
You could even sugar lip nails with glitter powder and be extra daring!

Kiss Nails
Before we go any further, let’s settle the question. Are lip nail designs okay to use any time of year, or are they a Valentine’s Day thing? Considering how nail art has blossomed in the past two years, we vote that lip nails are perfect all year round. It’s a matter of personal expression! Right now, both minimalist and maximalist nail styles are on trend, so take advantage and enjoy the possibilities.
For example, here are sheer pink nails smothered in kisses. It’s like what happens when Aunt Barbara smooches your cheek with her bright red lipstick. But most polishes are too pigmented for this faded look. How can you re-create it without using a stencil and sponges?
We like using fluid nail art products like A’DOR Metallic Marble. It’s like working with watercolor paint. The thin texture flows so smoothly, making it perfect for intense washes of color or artistically faded patterns. What’s more, it air dries quickly and it’s compatible with gel, acrylic, and nail lacquer. Consider creating a custom nail stamp for a blotted look.

Is it a Botox Lip Nail Design?
Besides Botox, what could make these lips look so juicy? If it’s not acrylic, we bet it’s hard gel.
If nail sculpting like this seems beyond your skill set, now there’s a solution. LAVIS Non-Sticky Builder Gel in a Jar is ideal for 3D nail art. LAVIS Poly Extension Gel is also easy to use for beginning sculptors. Both products are low-odor and won’t set until they are cured, so you have all the time you need to shape the perfect pout.
If you prefer less texture, emboss gel might be just right. You can also make lip nail charms with it.

Hand-Painted Lip Accent
The pointer fingers have lip accents on this heart nails design. If you could only add one kiss to your mani, where would you draw it?
While we’re on the topic of drawing lips, did you know that human lips have one of the very thinnest layers of skin anywhere on the body? That’s why lips are red – the blood is very close to the surface. Plus, lips are the most sensitive place with more than a million nerve endings.
The good news is that lips never get sweaty as they have no glands. The bad news is they get thinner as we age, so stock up on lip balm and take care of them.
Finally, every person’s lips are unique just like fingerprints. They are also the only place where the inside of the body reaches to the outside.

Snow White Lips
We’ve seen a lot of red lips and pink lips, but just like lipstick, there are a lot of shades to choose from. For example, here’s a design that wouldn’t look out of place at Christmas or cute for bridal nails. The white lips and gold flecks decorate a sheer matte base.
We also encountered black lips on a goth set and rainbow lips for Pride. What other themes can you imagine for lip nail designs? Perhaps an autumn look intermingling pretty foliage with beige or brown smiles or an Easter set with eggs decorated with kisses. Perhaps St. Patrick’s Day with golden grins and emerald shamrocks.

Lip Drawing Tips
After all this discussion about lip nail designs, we didn’t address the biggest obstacle. Lips are hard to draw. There’s no shame in relying on nail stickers or stencils! If you’d like to learn to draw perfect lips for nail art, we have a few tips.
First, it’s all about the shapes. The simplest lips start with an M on top and a long curve on the bottom. Try drawing this shape without separating the parts. Once you’re satisfied with the proportions, practice leaving a gap along the centerline.
You may find that a dotting pen comes in handy before using a brush. Add the end points, the peaks, and a few along the curve at the bottom. Then connect the dots.
As one portrait artist pointed out, lips are made up of basic shapes like lines and curves. Imagine a rectangle divided into four sections. The top lip is a heart with teardrops laying down on either side. The bottom lip is two circles side-by-side in the middle. The center line is a train of short lines angled slightly up and down. So, if you can draw a rectangle, heart, teardrop, and circle, you can draw lips.
If you really want to master the art of perfectly proportioned lip nails, it takes time and repeated attempts. Even the best artists screw up sometimes, and that’s great because no one can fail unless they try, and if they’re trying, then they are learning! Soon, you’ll be wowing everyone with your lip nail designs.
