Today on Prada & Pearls we’re sharing 30+ of the best indie nail ideas you need to try!  Indie Nails are the latest nail trend that’s been gaining popularity fast!  If you have no idea what this trend is you’re not alone.  

What are Indie Nails?

Indie nails basically means nail art that’s different on each nail.  It typically also has a sort of 90s vintage look to it with bright colors, smiley faces, ying & yangs, flowers etc.  If you’re looking to try out some indie nail ideas you’ve come to the right post!

With spring here, I wanted to put together a collection of my favourite designs to give you guys some inspiration.  The best part is that a lot of these can easily be recreated at home!  

That’s what I love about this trend, it’s incredibly easy to do yourself.  Have fun with it and try out some wild designs

Below, I’ve rounded up 30+ of my top indie nail ideas for you to try.  Whether you’re trying to create fun new designs at home, or at your local salon there’s a style in here for you!
