Whether it’s a punk vibe for an event or just some unique style for everyday use – flaming nails look good.

These flame nail photos will hopefully give you some inspiration!

You don’t *need* to paint *every* single nail. One flaming nail on each hand can really work to add some distinction.

This *super* subtle flame nail style is fine for the office but still has some unique style to it. Love it.

A brighter style like this stands out a lot more and has more of that *punk vibe*.

The sad face might not be my style but I really like these light and dark green flames.

The flaming Elmo on these nails just does it for me. I mean, anything with Elmo is a winner in my book.

These white flame nails just look **so good**. A perfect match to the ring.

Fan of Scotland? How about these tartan-style flame nails? <3

Who said flames need to look scary? These colorful candy neon flame nails might be my favorite so far.

But who said your nails have to be the same color? I love this might of bright colors on each finger.

For that matter, who even said there have to be flames on each nail? I love the yin yang nail on each hand here.

I’m not *normally* a fan of gold nails (just not my style) but metallic flame nails just works. Especially with the rings.

Glittery gold pierced nails with those *long* black flame acrylic nails.

Black on black shouldn’t work but… this just does. Especially for everyday use.

If flaming nails didn’t stand out enough for you, how about some gold metallic flames?

Fan of pink? I like the *one-pierced* nail and the bright pink transparent acrylics with the blue flames.

More of a romantic vibe? These flame nail designs actually form little hearts <3
