Nail Art
Nail art is a creative way of expressing yourself that has gone from runway to everyday. Women everywhere are flocking to see the latest nail art trends including textured, reverse french manicures, patterned, decorated and more. Nail art can be worn at any age with a different look that will suit any woman’s personal tastes. Celebrity nail art has even stole the spotlight at award shows being featured on many entertainment shows. Mani-cams showcase the latest nail art and embellishments on today’s top celebrities. Nail art takes practice and patience to get it right, so if you are someone who can barely wait for their quick-drying polish to dry this might be a look you want to get professionally done or avoid altogether.
Pretty flowers add a feminine detail to nails whether the backdrop color is a soft pink, lilac or even blue. In order to get the look you will want to have a q-tip on hand and the other colors of polish that you are intending to draw the flower with. You can also use new Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens which are available in many different colors that allow you to easily draw your flowers on with expert precision. They are available for under $7 at most pharmacies. Graphic prints are another neat way to add interest to your nails. You can design the print yourself using Q-tips and a few different colors of nail polish. There are also nail stickers which can help to add the graphic print effect to your nails. Great nail design stickers can be found at jobynailart.com. A reverse french manicure is an extremely popular look. Instead of tipping the nails with a clean white you can now tip the nails using the color of your choice. Using a light or nude polish as your base will allow for the colored tip to pop. It can be difficult to create even tips so there are stickers which you can place on top of your base coat to allow for greater precision. Polka dots are a very fun and easy way to add design to your nails. Simply choose a base color then add on your polka dots using a Q-tip. Don’t worry if the dots are different sizes because that helps to make your look unique. Polka dots can add a flirty and cute look that looks great for a spring day.
Jewels are a nail art trend that are taking the industry by storm. These jewels can be circular, diamond or square shaped that add a three-dimensional look on top of the nail. A common way to wear nail jewels is to only put them on your accent finger (one finger on each hand). This helps to add interest without being overpowering or tacky. Wave Magnetic Nail Polish from Nails Inc. is a revolutionary nail design product that instantly transforms the nails to give them a 3D look. It is available at Sephora for under $10 a bottle. It allows you to customize the nail look that you get by using metallic particles found within the polish. This creates a pattern on the nail because it uses magnetic forces pulling on the iron formula within the polish. Every pattern created by the enclosed magnet is different making it highly unique and customizable look.
The thing to remember with nail art is to have fun. You will not be an expert the first few times you try it out, but it will get easier with practice making you feel comfortable enough to try new things. Once you have the hang of it nail art will be a fun way to funk up any outfit.
