Inspired by Daphne’s fashion-forward style, Daphne-Inspired Nail Designs will reveal this character's sassy nature.
Daphne’s sartorial sway can be seen in her beloved color scheme, a mixture of bold purples and soft pinks.
This could be reflected in vibrant, block-color-based nails or ditsy, floral-inspired motifs similar to those often found within her outfits.
Maybe you’d prefer to be slightly more subtle about your nod to her style? A pale pink base with a single, strikingly purple stripe or a bold purple base accented with demure swirls of pink.
Either way, these nails are a stylish tribute to Daphne and a fresh way to break up your usual nail polish routine.
Fred's Ascot French Tips
Let's turn our attention away from Daphne’s flamboyance to the understated sophistication of Fred's Ascot French Tips.

- French Tips: Create the French tips with stark white polish to echo Fred’s pristine, neat appearance.
- Symbol: To add a playful touch, paint one finger with a small orange dot – a reference to Fred’s signature knot of his ascot.
- Top Coat: Add the clear top coat to your design to make it last.
Embrace your inner Fred – reliable, stylish, and unflinchingly brave – through this nail art.
Velma's Sweater Nail Art
Are you ready to feel like Velma? Let’s follow the fall vibes of Velma’s sweater with our next nail art picture.
Firstly, you need to paint your nails with a burnt orange base, like the knit that makes up the rest of Velma’s look, and add one maroon stripe to match the colored detail on the sweater's neckline.
Take inspiration from Velma's glasses by adding a thin, black glasses frame to your accent nail.
Next, design a Jinkies catchphrase. Use a small nail brush to stamp ‘Jinkies’ across your nails. This pop culture reference will make your design stand out.
Vintage Cartoon Nail Design
In the spirit of vintage Scooby Doo episodes, this is how you’re going to do cartoon nails – and you’ll love them for it. Retro Animation is the theme behind these nails.
Let's delve into the details:

Glittery Scooby Doo Designs
After embracing the vintage charm of classic cartoons, it's time to add a little sparkle to your Scooby Doo nail art with some glittery designs.
Glitter application techniques can be another fun part of this process. You can go for the full-glitter look or apply it strategically to accentuate your design.
Application precision is important so that you might use a small brush.
Additionally, experimentation with color combinations could help your design pop. Consider the classic Scooby-Doo color palette: brown, blue, and green.
Imagine those colors juxtaposed with a glittery gold or silver, and your nails will appear, in a sense, all a-jangle while still being a nod to Scooby Doo.
