What is your Nail Shape?
Before we get into the thick and thin of nail art, we need to have a basic understanding of nail shape and size and how it might affect the nail art you are planning to create. Whether you have a set manicure routine at the salon or have a handy manicure set at home, some of the most common nail shapes are:
- Stiletto
- Oval
- Square
- Almond
- Squoval
All these shapes have their own uniqueness and can be used to create nail art that suits them the best. These nail shapes are also dependent on the shape of your natural nails and once you get the hang of nail art, you can choose nail shapes yourself and create nail shapes you want to try.
12 Nail Art Ideas for your boring Nail Paint
Nail art is an innovative artwork to design and embellish nails. It can be done on fingernails or toenails, there is a variety of designs available, and it is a fun way to brighten your style and everyday looks. To have successful nail art, the nail should be clean and appropriately trimmed, nail art can only be created that is well shaped and filed before trimming.
There are different nail arts that one can try:
1. Daisies
Daisy nail art is very simple to make and easy to pull off. All you need to do is create a canvas of base color on your nails. You can choose any base color for your nails, yellow, pink, indigo, sky blue, or cherry red to truly embrace the colors of life. Then use a nail pen or brush to create a centered orange dot and surround it with white daisy petals to create small little daisies on your nails.
2. Color up your French Manicure
Going for a French manicure? It can easily be guessed that we are all bored with the same old white polish tips on our nails. Instead of giving up on the white tips, what if we told you that you can get your nails tipped in any color you want? Just use a thin brush and follow the curve of your nail to create a natural tipped curve.
3. Pastel Storm
Want to mix things up? Paint your nails white, let them dry out, and then start with the other layers of the colors you want. You don’t need to cover the entire nail in layers. Just apply the colors you want on top of each other in whichever sections you like. The main idea behind this nail art is experimentation.
4. Half Moons
This is another basic nail design that can be easily pulled off. You can choose whatever base color you want, but you have to ensure that your base color and your half moon colors are contrasting with each other. After your base color dries up, use the thin brush to paint the bottom of your nails in the shape of half-moons.
5. Polka Dots
