Looking for a beautiful and gorgeous way to add flair to your look? Nail art can compliment your outfit for a special event or add a unique touch to your personality every day. But once have a look at these tips.
1 Line your nails with petroleum jelly
Line your nails with petroleum jelly or white craft glue before painting them for an easy cleanup.If you're working on a nail look that's messy, use a cotton swab to rub petroleum jelly like Vaseline on the skin around your nails first. This creates a barrier between the polish and your skin so that after you've painted your nails, you can wipe off the Vaseline and any polish mistakes along with it.
2.Make your nail polish dry faster
Make your nail polish dry faster by soaking your nails in ice water after painting them.Fill a bowl with ice and water, and soak your nails for a few minutes after painting them. The cold water will set the paint and help your nails dry faster.
3.Scotch Tape
Scotch tape is great to use for nail art because it allows you to set parameters on each nail. You can create easy stripes, checkerboard designs, and diamond or triangle shapes. If you are going to use scotch tape, though, make sure your nails are completely dry with their first coat before proceeding to put the scotch tape on. Otherwise you run the risk of the tape ruining your base color once you peel it off. Try experimenting with scotch tape to figure out what kinds of designs you can create.
4.Use a toothpick to alter the design.
Insert it in the water and drag it through the bulls-eye of color to create patterns. Spiderweb designs are popular, as are flower designs and geometric shapes. Don't go too far with the toothpick, since if you blend the colors too much they won't be distinct from one another. If you create something with the toothpick and you don't like it, simply discard your first attempt and start over from the beginning.Sources: Link | Link | Link |
