You can draw cartoons on your nails for a bit of a quirk or go for a regular drawing which is usually done with brushes, sticks (read toothpicks available at home) and needles. The nail art brushes are easily available and they come in different sizes and shapes. Some of the most frequently used brushes include dotting brush, striper brush, large round brush, angle shaped brush, flat brush and fan brush.
If you are planning to go with any of the easy-to-do nail art from these 22 designs, then all you go to have with you is:
1. Nail polish/varnish and gel/acrylics/glue
2. Accessories for decoration such as studs, rhinestones, miniature plastic bow-ties, beads, glitter and/or aluminium foil
3. Nail art pen
4. Nail art brushes: Nail dotters/strippers/brushes
5. Nail file
6. Stationery tape/ stickers
7. Acetone
8. Sponges (to make gradient nails)
Things to keep in mind when going for DIY nail art designs:
1. When purchasing nail glue, go for a good quality product. The real purpose of nail glue is that it keep the nail laminates intact and a superior glue is the one with an ultra-thin laminates, which saves time and prevents you from having to spend hours shaping the edges.
2. Make sure that your real nails are trimmed, the cuticles pushed back. Zuri recommends you apply an anti-fungal cream at the discolored area.
3. For a bit of a jazz, opt for graphics, geometrical shapes and line, or holiday-themed decals. If red is your color, and Christmas is your favorite time of the year, indulge in green Christmas tree with white snowflakes. So, add green leaves and white flakes decals to your bright-red colored polish. You can also sprinkle in a layer of silver glitter dust or an artificial gemstone.
For Holi, experiment with colors, go for easy water marble technique using multiple colors. Paint your nails in dark shades. This will also protect them from harsh chemicals. Don’t forget to apply Vaseline on the edges.
This Holi, celebrate in style and sport your favorite nail art design from this collection of super lively and bright nail art designs.
Happy Holi ladies!
