Cow spots are like fingerprints, meaning every cow is decorated with its own unique print. This is not only a great fun fact, but it's also a relevant tidbit when it comes to one of this season's coolest manicure trends: cow print nails. This animal-print mani is having a major moment—thanks to pop culture's current fascination with Western culture—and just like cow spots, there are infinite ways to incorporate the pattern into your nail look.

You can play with different colors to give the pattern a unique feel. Or, you could pair the print with other eclectic designs to create a one-of-a-kind mismatched mani. No matter how you choose to experiment, there's truly a moo-inspired manicure for everyone. Ahead, we've rounded up 24 cow print nail ideas to try.

01 Classic Cow Print Nails

You can't go wrong with a classic take on cow print. Because the pattern is not uniform, each nail will have a unique appeal.

02 Brown Cow Print Nails

Opting for brown accents instead of black will make your cow print mani look less stark. To give this look dimension, you'll want to layer different-sized spots on top of the crisp, white base.

03 Coffee Cow Print Nails

Take latte nails for a walk on the wild side with this cow print remix. The combination of white, brown, and beige makes for a non-boring take on neutral polish shades, and the 3D accents add a nice pop of texture.

04 Highlighted Cow Print French Nails

Outlining your black-and-white tips in neon polish makes them really pop. This approach puts a fresh twist on a traditional French mani.

05 Baby Blue Cow Print French Nails

06 Clear Cow Print Nails

Instead of the standard black-and-white cow print combo, try this clear take. Applying black spots on top of your glossy base coat will give you an edgy, minimalist look.

07 Oat Milk Cow Print Nails

There's so much to love about this modern French mani. The milky base coat feels extremely of the moment, and the fact that the tips are delineated by the print (versus a fine line) makes the look even cooler.

08 Lengthy Cow Print Nails

If you want to elevate your cow print manicure, pair it with long almond tips. We love that this lengthy mani doesn't just feature spots on the top of the white tips. The way the print extends onto the base of the nail makes this mani so mesmerizing.

09 Mismatched Cow Print Nails

Why stick with one print when you could wear them all? This wild French mani incorporates several designs—like cow print, tiger stripes, and crocodile—and is absolutely eye-catching.

10 Pretty Pink Cow Print Nails

Mix in a bit of pink to add a playful pop of color to your cow print manicure. Though it's an unexpected color combination, this mismatched manicure proves the pairing works.

11 Rainbow Cow Print Nails

If black and white feels too tame, try the entire rainbow on for size. This candy-coated cow print mani shows just how good the print looks in every color.

12 Colorful Cow Print Nails

Rest assured that cow print looks just as stunning on shorter nails. This look also plays around with color to create a vibrant, playful take on cow print.

13 Mix-and-Match Cow Print Nails

Can't decide between cow print tips or the whole shebang? Go for both. This look features cow print French tips on one hand and fully covered nails on the other.

14 Textured Cow Print Nails

You can spice up a cow print manicure by adding tons of texture. The 3D spots add an incredibly intriguing element to the lengthy nail look.

15 Bold Mismatched Cow Print Manicure

Between the statement-making prints and the extra-long tips, this manicure is all anyone will want to talk about when they see your hands. It's the type of look that nail selfies were made for.

16 Cow Print Accent Nails

If you don't want to commit to a full-on cow print manicure, you can stick to one or two accent nails. Use a lime green shade on eight fingers, then accent the remaining two with a cow print design and any other funky art you choose.

17 Brown Cow Print French Nails

These baby French tips are perfect for anyone who wants a subtle cow print manicure. Start with a precise white tip and then draw on the brown spots with a detailing brush.

18 Half-and-Half Blue Cow Print Nails

All the cool girls are experimenting with half-and-half manicures, which essentially allows you to get two different looks on each nail. Try pairing your cow print with a milky neutral to make the pattern stand out more.

19 Cow Print and Petals Nails

We love this cheery take on a cow print mani. The cow print and floral accents are totally different designs, but they work so well together in this look.

20 Groovy Blue Cow Print Nails

This wavy, blue-lined mani offers a modern remix of the classic French. The bright blue lining looks beautiful against the black-and-white cow print, but you can copy this look with any color you want.

21 Milk Chocolate Matte Cow Print Nails

22 Milky White Cow Print Nails

23 Shimmery Cow Print Accent Nails

With this dazzling manicure, we love the way the black-and-white cow print stands out against the silver shimmer and the bright designs next to it. The entire look has a cosmic Y2K vibe.

24 All Black Cow Print Nails

Making a black manicure playful is tough, but this whimsical mismatched nail look does just that. Adding whimsical patterns (like cow prints) and nail art (the smiley faces and flowers) makes this dark mani feel joyful.
