The only problem? You're not a professional nail artist and the intricate designs you added to your saved collection are way above your skill level. That's one of the many reasons why the internet can't get enough of squiggle manicures. No need to be able to paint straight lines, the swerves and curves of these designs are beginner-friendly and can be customized to fit your personal style – whether it's minimalist white squiggle tips or abstract rainbow swirls.
