Tips for Making Simpsons Nails Last

Character art lives or dies on its top coat, so seal portraits with a glossy gel top coat and avoid filing the free edge once the design is on, as tiny cracks love to start at painted tips. If you are hand-painting faces, work in thin layers and let each colour dry fully before adding outlines — cartoon line art smudges easily. At the salon, bring a screenshot and ask for the characters on accent nails only if you want the look to last longer between infills.

From a single peekaboo Bart to a full Treehouse of Horror tribute, there is a Springfield set for every fan and every nail length. Pick your favourite character, choose your canvas, and let your fingertips do the quoting.
