15 Hilarious Nail Art Fails That Will Make You Think Twice About DIY (Photos)

by Kaylin Pound

If you've ever tried to replicate some DIY beauty tricks from Pinterest or Instagram, you probably know those tutorials make it look a lot easier than it is.

Remember when we showed you all of those hilarious makeup tutorial fails?

Well, it turns out makeup isn't the only thing people manage to royally f*ck up on the reg.

It turns out there are a lot of nail art enthusiasts out there who also try, and miserably fail, to replicate some of the mani trends they see on social media.

Yep, it takes a steady hand and a lot of artistic ability to transform your fingernails into a manicure masterpiece and quite frankly, many of us do not possess that particular skill.

You know how it goes, you manage to do a somewhat decent job painting one hand with a scaly mermaid pattern. Then, when it comes time to switch sides and paint with the hand you don't write with, all hell breaks loose and your mermaid nails quickly turn into a gigantic mess.

Seriously, some people should really leave the nail painting to the professionals.
