Nail Art Design Planning Templates
UPDATED: First Freebies I have for you are these downloadable nail art templates. I put them together for ease of planning out manis and nail art ideas one night when I couldn’t sleep a couple of years back and thought I’d make them available to my lovely readers and the general public.
You can download and print them out for personal use using a regular inkjet or laser printer. They come in two versions: A4 (for Australia, NZ, Europe, Asia & …well, most of the world) and Letter Size (for the US, Canada, Mexico, parts of South America and the Phillipines). Because my ISO heart bleeds for you…
Feel free to share them around for personal use, on Pinterest/Instagram/Facebook or blogs, but please leave them intact.A link back to this page is always appreciated.
Leave a comment if you find them helpful or wish to request a nail shape.

HOT TIPS!
- If you laminate the sheets you can use them with gels OR acrylic paint (eg: practicing one-stroke flowers)
- If you wish to make decals, insert the sheet into a smooth plastic sheet protector (the kind you get for binders) and make your design as you would with the reverse decal method
- Nails on the sheet appear with the Proximal Nail Fold (PNF)/base of the nail at the top and the free edge at the bottom
Please let me know what you think of them, or if you find them useful in the comments below. Where you may wish to put forward your ideas and suggestions as well. 😊

Thank you so so much for these templates, I absolutely love them! I do a lot of really short nail deigns on natural nails so if you were able to make the round or squoval with the nail beds half the size that would be beyond amazing!! ❤️

Thanks for the feedback Alice. So happy to hear they are useful to you! 😉 I find it’s really helpful for ideas planning.
I can do that, sure thing! I will create a shorter nail template for you as soon as I can (once I’ve cleared my backlog), and add an update to this comment when it is ready for download so you are notified 💙

Hey Alice. Check the page for the new smaller, shorter nail templates that you can now download.
Managed to do both Squoval & Round/Oval – I hope they are a better size for you! 😉
