These Disney Nail Designs Have Us Craving A Trip To Disneyland (And Dole Whip)

Disney is for everyone. It doesn’t matter what month, season, or holiday, there is always an occasion to rock Disney nail designs. Particularly if you’re taking a trip to one of the parks. Mind holding our spot in line?

Whether you’re attending a themed party or planning a Disney Halloween costume, we have the mani for you. And a question: can we get Dole Whip DoorDash-ed to the nail salon? (Try saying that three times fast.)

So take a break from booking tix to see The Haunted Mansion for the third time and scroll down to check out the happiest manicures on Earth. Just add pixie dust.

 

39 Disney Nail Designs

1. Stitch Nail Art

We can’t speak for Experiment 626, but we think you’ll agree that this one worked. The subtle floral accents and tiny gems make this Stitch mani perfect for grown-ups. Real ones, not Peter Pan ones.

 

2. Subtly Halloween Disney Nails

From afar these may just look like abstract, of-the-moment Autumn nails, or a fun orange-and-black Halloween design. But look closer and you’ll see that it’s raining tiny Mickeys. Great for when you want your Disney love to be whispered, not screamed. Or…squeaked.

 

3. Cars Disney Nails

Fans of Disney’s Cars and NASCAR enthusiasts will love this nail design. The vibrant flames on a black background and checkered nails provide the perfect complements to Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater. :ka-chow: we say in our best Owen Wilson impression. Eh, we’ll stick to writing.

 

4. Lion King Nail Art

“Remember who you are,” said Mufasa. “Hungry,” our tummy responded. Brb, it’s time for lunch.

 

5. Winnie the Pooh Nail Art

These Winnie the Pooh nails are as sweet as honey. And, due to the copyright expiration, you could also rock these in support of Blood and Honey, the Winnie the Pooh horror flick. Fair warning: it will ruin your childhood.

 

6. Disney Pumpkins and Ghosts Nail Art

These pumpkin and ghost nail designs give a subtle nod toward Disney fandom. Unless those are basketballs, in which case these might be Harlem Globetrotters nails.

 

7. Monsters, Inc. Nail Art

If you love monsters but don’t want to be scared, Mike and Sully are for you. These cuddly terrorizers from Monsters, Inc. are fluffy and cute, but don’t let them hear you call them that.

 

8. Classic Disney Nails

Minnie Mouse, Betty Boop, cows, or Yayoi Kusama? No one will ever know. That’s the magic of Disney. And red polka dots, apparently.

 

9. Disney Friends Pastel Nail Art

The Disney Friends game had so many characters, you could add almost any of them to tips like these and they’d look super cute. We said almost any. As hard as you may try, Captain Hook is simply not cute!

 

10. Neon Cartoon Nails

This mani showcases a pair of OG Disney characters with a thoroughly modern, traffic-stopping palette. Seriously, you could help land airplanes with these. But, like, don’t.

 

11. Subtle Disney Pride Nails

Gay Days at California’s Disneyland are coming up fast, so save these to wear to the park September 22 to 24. Or bookmark this pride mani for next year’s event at Disney World in Florida from May 30 to June 3, 2024. Or wear them in our house any day of the week.

 

12. Spooky Mickey Mouse

These boo-tiful claws let you live your Barbenheimer fantasy, but in a Disney way. Barbney? BarbMouse? Barblo and Stitch?

 

13. Fit For Disneyland Nails

For the Disney fan who has to leave for the park straight from the office, these cute French-style tips are elegant, but will still feel fun at Magic Kingdom. With all that magic at your fingertips, any park will feel like good ‘ol MK. But there is only one Space Mountain. Remember that.

 

14. Disney Castle Nails

We’re practically swimming in these opalescent nails, which are glamorous enough to wear to Cinderella’s Castle. Although, if we’re swimming, I guess we’re in the moat, which is bad.

 

15. Fancy Mickey Nail Art

If Opulence was a name, it would be yours. These diamond-encrusted tips are an upscale Disney fever dream. Mickey even has his bow tie on. Club 33, here we come!

 

16. 101 Dalmatians Nail Art

There are 101 reasons why we love this mani, and reason numbers one and two are those adorable sandy paw prints. The other 99 have absolutely nothing to do with that other word for female dogs.

 

17. Golden Disney Glamour Nails

This beige-and-white-gold set is so understated and subtle that you’ll have to look twice to find Mickey. It’s perfect for a stealth Disney fan, but remember it’s okay to love things. Unless those things are olives. You animal.

 

18. Perfectly Purple Disney Nails

Magic is in the air, and on your nails. Dip powder nails, gel nails, and now magic nails? The nail salon girlies do be innovating.

 

19. Villainous Disney Nails

These long talons will make you look rich enough to impress a princess. To be fair, Princess Charlotte is eight so it probably doesn’t take much to impress her.

 

20. Sweet Ariel and Flounder Nail Art

This soft pastel Little Mermaid set has a soothing color palette and tiny pearls. How could a world that makes such wonderful things be bad? Yeah, yeah, climate change, we know.

 

21. Aristocats Nails

Marie and Duchess are looking fab in their sparkling collars and bows, fit even for Eva Gabor, who voiced Duchess in the film. Money can’t buy elegance, but it can buy pretty manicures.

 

22. Queen of Hearts Nails

We’d rather have these than a bouquet of roses, just so we can point menacingly and yell, “Off with their heads!” Like we really need heads anyway.

23. Colors of the Wind Nails

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? This nail artist sure can. Wind is blue, right?

 

24. Glam Grogu Nail Art

This Grogu set is somehow cute and serving luxury at the same time. When people ask if we want to see their baby, the answer is only “yes” if this is the baby.

 

25. Aladdin Nail Art

Aladdin was our original crush and before you say you can’t have a crush on a cartoon, may we point you to Exhibit A: Kim Possible? Well, the folks who get it, get it.

 

26. OG Little Mermaid Nail Art

The Divine-inspired Ursula will always be our fave, and these purple tentacle masterpieces are completing the sea witch vibes. By the way, Urs, are you taking applications for an apprentice?

 

27. Pastel Disney Tips

These classic Mickey design nails are giving Canal Street Vuitton bag, in the best way. Ahem. Counterfeits are bad! Don’t arrest us.

 

28. Beauty and the Beast Nail Art

We don’t see any beasts here—these nails are all beauties. Especially Mrs. Potts, who is always spilling the tea. There’s only so much you can do with a cracked cup.

 

29. Belle and her Flowers Nail Art

We’re enchanted by these roses, which not only give Beauty and the Beast, but also our favorite grandma’s bathroom wallpaper.

 

30. Lady and the Tramp Nails

Now we want spaghetti, and a big-eared rascal to share it with. We’ll even allow barking, but slobbering is off the table. Get it?

 

31. Cinderella Nail Art

These iridescent stained glass–style tips are worthy of wearing to a ball. We’d rather lose a shoe that break one of these glamorous claws.

 

32. Mulan Manicure

These glossy, vampy nails are the most rare and beautiful of all. We can practically hear Mushu calling to our ancestors from here.

 

33. Princess and the Frog Nails

We love how this set pays tribute to Princess Tiana without being obvious about it. But, like, IYKYK.

 

34. Little Mermaid Inspired Nails

These nails reference characters from The Little Mermaid in an abstract way that makes us feel like we just had a field trip to an art museum. Bikini tops = culture.

 

35. Jack Skellington Nails

Is this what Oogie Boogie means when he sings about “Sandy Claws”?

 

36. Maleficent Nails

Well, this is quite the glittering assemblage. It might even be the fairest of them all. But first, what’s your policy on cheating in poker?

 

37. Princess Tiana Nail Art

Whoever said you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince might even be flabbergasted if they saw our count. What’s a good swamp to Tinder date ratio?

 

38. Winter Disney Nails

Maybe we wouldn’t dread winter so much if we were rocking these exquisite tips. Especially because they’d give us a great excuse to get out of shoveling snow.

 

39. Frozen Nails

We can’t get over how cool our niece would finally think we are if we were wearing these. What do you mean they’re so 2013?
