@burnsidenailsandspa

I’m officially obsessed. These Burnside Nails And Spa Dory-inspired nails are giving major ocean energy and I’m not mad about it. The little hand-painted details? Literal magic.

Pretty sure if I wore these, I’d start singing “Just keep swimming” every five minutes.

@disneyandnails

I mean… how cute are these? Sofia (@disneyandnails) basically turned my childhood dreams into a manicure. Ariel, Jasmine, Belle — it’s a full royal lineup and I’m absolutely here for it.

Honestly, I might start waving like a princess just to show these off.


3. Castle Night Magic

@nailartbyjen

Standing in front of the castle with these nails? Yeah, I felt like pure sparkle. Jeanette Flores (@nailartbyjen) absolutely crushed it with the glowing Mickeys against that deep black base — it’s giving fireworks, wishes, and a little bit of main character energy.

Definitely not taking these off until I’m back at Disneyland.


4. Spooky and Sweet

@twilldidmynails

Tell me why I’m grinning like that Mickey pumpkin just looking at these nails. Taylei Williams Osborne (@twilldidmynails) nailed the perfect mix of cute and spooky — Minnie, Goofy, a little ghosty moment… obsessed.

Pretty sure my nails would be the real stars of any Halloween party.


5. Minnie Chic

@burnsidenailsandspa

There’s something about a classic red bow and polka dots that just feels like pure magic. Burnside Nails And Spa turned Minnie Mouse into a total moment — sweet, bold, and seriously iconic.

If these nails were an outfit, they’d be a twirl-worthy vintage dress at Main Street USA.


6. Spotted and Sparkling

@distinctivenaildesigns

There’s no way I could walk past these nails without stopping for a second look. Between the glitter, the polka dots, and those sweet Dalmatian faces, it’s pure attitude in the best way.

I spotted this design from Distinctive Nail Designs, and trust me — it’s giving full Disney glam without even trying.


7. Twinkle Lights + Mickey Magic

@nailartbyjen

The second I saw these nails, I swear I heard Christmas music playing. That soft blush base with the tiniest Mickey bulb lights feels so sweet without trying too hard.

Jeanette Flores (@nailartbyjen) somehow captured all the cozy Disney vibes in just a few tiny sparkles — absolute holiday perfection.


8. Checkered + Mickey Cuties

@nailsby_avril

If summer had a manicure, this would be it. The minty green, soft neutrals, and those tiny Mickey heads just feel so happy without even trying.

Spotted this playful design by Avril (@nailsby_avril) — and now I’m convinced I need checkers on my nails at least once a year.


9. Hot Pink Minnie Dreams

@candacembeauty

There’s just something about a bright pink French tip that makes everything feel extra fun. Add those tiny Minnie bows, and it’s basically the happiest manicure on earth.

Candace Morrow (@candacembeauty) knew exactly what she was doing — this set deserves its own castle moment.


10. Neon Disney Daydream

@nailsbykatiedutra

If happiness had a nail set, pretty sure it would look exactly like this. Those colorful Mickey heads, the bold stripes, the smiling faces… it’s pure serotonin.

Katie Dutra (@nailsbykatiedutra) didn’t just do nails — she bottled up a whole Disney parade in polish.


11. Rainbow Mickey Tips

@erikamarienails

Like a sugar rush at Main Street, these nails feel straight out of a candy-colored daydream. Crisp almond tips in glossy red, tangerine, lime, and pool blue beam with playful energy—but it’s the teeny white Mickey silhouettes that steal the show.

The base? Sheer and soft like spun sugar, letting the color story shine without overwhelming. There’s something unmistakably nostalgic here, like vintage Disney merch meets modern mani art.

It’s fun without feeling fussy—perfect for park hopping, birthday weekends, or just bringing a little magic to your Monday.


12. Holiday Magic Mani

@glazenaillounge

If Mickey hosted Christmas at the castle, this would be his party look. A festive flurry of sparkle, plaid, and iconic silhouettes, each nail feels like its own ornament from a Disney-adorned tree.

From glitzy ruby reds to snowflake-stamped blush pinks and tangled string lights (complete with mouse ears, naturally), this set captures the magic of the season without saying a word. We especially love the cheeky green Mickey heads tucked into gold shimmer—like a wink from the parks wrapped in tinsel.

Cozy, playful, and bursting with nostalgia, it’s holiday cheer with a pixie-dusted twist.


13. Peppermint Park Fantasy

@hannas.nails.la

This set is pure Disney holiday spectacle—like Main Street USA under a blanket of snow, lit with twinkle lights and bursting with peppermint everything. A bold mix of candy cane swirls, glittered snowflakes, and glossy Mickey silhouettes brings the whole look to life with show-stopping cheer.

The red sparkle base feels like a velvet ribbon pulled from a gift box, while the layered French tips add a glam contrast—elegant, but never too serious. And those “Magic” script details? Just the right dose of playful drama.

Whimsical, wintry, and made for theme park lovers with flair.


14. Haunted Mansion Glam

@kdnailedit

These nails are like stepping into a spooky-cute séance—equal parts eerie and enchanting. With ghostly butlers, spectral spiders, and that unmistakable Haunted Mansion Madame herself, this set is a love letter to Disney’s most iconic dark ride.

The soft lilac and speckled neutral combo adds a chic contrast—one part graveyard dusk, one part modern manicure moment. It’s the kind of set that says you appreciate a well-styled scare (with a wink and perfectly filed tips).

Goth girl glam meets theme park nostalgia, and we are here for the haunting.


15. Minnie’s Sparkle Pop

@lakeoswegonails

This set is pure Minnie magic with a glittery twist. A bold mix of ruby red, inky black, and crisp white channels that signature Disney sass—while the 3D Minnie silhouette bows add a playful pop that feels straight from Toon Town.

Glitter-soaked polish gives each nail its own spotlight moment, and those polka dots? Utterly classic, but still fresh. It’s giving retro, it’s giving theme park glam, it’s giving “meet me at the castle.”

Perfect for your next park day—or just bringing a little Main Street cheer to your Monday.


16. Mickey Meets the Sky

@nailsby.alejandra

These nails feel like a sunny stroll through Fantasyland—blue skies, puffy clouds, and just enough Mickey magic to make you smile. The alternating patterns of sky blue and crisp white create that dreamy, day-at-the-park vibe, while tiny black glitter Mickey heads add the perfect touch of pixie dust.

It’s playful but polished, whimsical without trying too hard. Think Disneybounding meets minimalist nail art—perfect for fans who want to keep it cute and subtle, with a splash of joy at every fingertip.


17. Disney Icons, Reimagined

@nailsbykatiedutra

This set isn’t just nail art—it’s a tribute. A tiny gallery of heroines and villains, each painted with a bold, modern minimalism that still captures every bit of magic. You’ll spot Ariel’s unmistakable red waves, Alice’s curious bow, and even Ursula’s sea-swirled sass, all stripped down to their silhouettes and signature colors.

What makes it pop is the negative space—clean, chic, and letting every character breathe like they’re stepping out of a storyboard. It’s graphic, glossy, and full of personality… basically, if your favorite animated icons got the fashion-girl manicure they deserve.

Whimsical? Absolutely. But grown-up enough to wear with your favorite Reformation dress.


18. Spooky Season, Disney Style

@twilldidmynails

Cue the villainous laughter and candy-colored chills—this set brings Halloween at Disneyland to your fingertips in the most playful way. There’s mummy Mickey, ghostly Minnie, cobwebs, stitches, and a pop of Jack Skellington whimsy, all hand-painted with a mix of soft peachy nudes and candy-pink twilight.

Each nail tells a bite-sized story, like walking past Main Street’s flickering lanterns or catching the Oogie Boogie Bash in full swing. It’s sweet meets spooky, with just the right amount of sass.

Perfect for anyone who counts down to October 1st like it’s a national holiday.


19. Character Parade Chic

@leslydidthem

These nails are a whole Disney day pass wrapped in glossy pink dreams and golden sparkle. Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, and Goofy all make an appearance—decked out in candy bows, ice cream charms, and scattered stars that shimmer like pixie dust.

What makes this set extra fun? The dimensional decals and 3D sweets that look like they came straight from a Main Street confectionery window. It’s playful, polished, and absolutely bursting with theme park joy.

For the Disney adult who never skips the character meet-and-greets.


20. Pastel Park Day Perfection

@desertdollnails

Soft blush tones meet playful Disney silhouettes in this sweet-meets-sophisticated mani. The dainty Minnie bows, glimmering champagne shimmer, and iconic castle tips feel like the prettiest postcard from a perfect day at the park.

What we love? The mix of minimalist elements with just enough sparkle to feel enchanted. It’s dreamy, wearable, and subtly nostalgic—like the grown-up version of your first pair of Minnie ears.

Perfect for a casual castle stroll or sipping pink drinks on Main Street.


21. Pumpkin Patch Magi

@nouvellenailsllc

This cozy Disney mani wraps fall nostalgia in the cutest little package. Burnt pumpkin, cinnamon brown, and spiced mustard tones bring serious autumn vibes—but it’s the hidden Mickeys and soft French tips that give it that pixie-dusted twist.

Each nail feels like a stroll through a harvest market outside Cinderella’s castle—warm cider in hand, leaves crunching underfoot. And those tiny pumpkins? Straight out of a fairy tale carriage ride.

It’s festive, it’s playful, and totally ready for sweater season at the parks.


22. Pixie Dust & Rainbows

@magicwithchesska

If joy had a manicure, it would look exactly like this. Think cotton candy skies, cheerful pinks, and playful rainbows swirling through clouds of tiny Mickeys—pure happiness at your fingertips.

The contrast of hot pink solids with whimsical patterned nails makes it feel like a magical day at the parks, complete with bubble wands, Mickey-shaped treats, and sunshine that lasts forever. It’s giving Main Street parade energy—bright, fun, and unapologetically Disney.

We’re calling it: this is the mani of your next park-hopping dream day.
