Tattoos are a really beautiful art form, and a great way to express a colourful personality. There are so many different styles to choose from and your choice of subject matter is infinite. Another beautiful, less permanent art form is nail art. With an endless colour spectrum of nail polish to choose from, it’s not surprising that the nail art industry is huge. Nail varnish can transform your hands from plain to glam within minutes, and with most nail enhancement treatments lasting between 2-4 weeks, its great to be able to change colours and styles on a regular basis! 

For some people, nail art is a huge passion and also a career choice, so what better way to marry a love of tattoos and of nail art than to get a nail polish tattoo?  We’ve seen plenty of cool makeup tattoos, from lipsticks to blushers and mascaras to eyeshadow pallets, and now we wanted to show you some of the beautiful nail polish themed tattoos that we’ve came across! Take a look.




First up, a gorgeous nail polish piece from Daniela Dag. The little flower is a lovely addition to this pretty tattoo, and the subtle white highlights give the piece that extra pop.



Done by @stabbygabby, we’re in love with this gorgeous nail varnish bottle. The glittery effect is truly stunning, and we're sure it’d be very popular amongst nail art fans (even though glitter varnish  is an absolute nightmare to remove from your nails!)




This tattoo is an absolute stunner. 4 nail polishes stacked on top of each other in an abstract manner. This one really is the perfect piece for a true nail art fan. Artist unknown. 



Another glittery themed nail varnish bottle. This one has a gorgeous galaxy style effect to it, and of course galaxy themed nails are really popular at the moment! Lovely work by Nieves Alfonseca.




This is one of our favourites, featuring an abstract splatter effect. This bottle is really bold and stands out a lot, and has a kind of pop art aesthetic to it. Artist unknown. 



A totally cute Kawaii themed nail polish! This is the ultimate girly tattoo. Artist unknown. 



This one is Incredible! An electric blue nail polish done in a realistic style. The spill effect here and the small details like the light reflection on the polish make this a really eye-catching tattoo. 


We hope you’ve enjoyed looking at these nail polish themed tattoos as much as we have! We'd love to see more of this kind of design, so if you’re a nail technician in the beauty industry and have a nail polish tattoo yourself, or if you’re just a huge fan of having your nails done and you have a nail themed tattoo, we'd love to see it!
