Caring for Your Acrylic Nails Art Design

Acrylic nails are one type of artificial nails that you can buy. They are made by mixing a chemical powder with a chemical liquid. The safest and highest quality acrylic nails are made with Ethyl Methacrylate (EMA), however, a less expensive variety of artificial nails that are also safe are made with Methyl Methacrylate (MMA). It is important to buy the highest quality artificial nails because they typically have less of an impact on the natural growth of your real finger nails.

Nail Art Design Care Preparation

If you already take care of your hands and feet, you may only need to apply lotion before doing your nails. At a minimum, wash your hands or feet and apply lotion. After applying a moisturizing lotion, take a towel and rub it well across each nail. Also use the towel on your hands. This will remove any oils on your nails so the nail art stays in place when you apply it later. Next, you should trim your nails into the shape you want them for your nail designs. Usually, people follow the natural shape of their nails whether that is square, round, or triangular. A nail file can shape and trim your nails easily without removing too much of your nail.

Blue Flower Nail Art Design

Are you beautifully dressed and wearing your favourite make up? What about some nail design? You are not actually ready to go out until you have stunning fingernail designs.Having beautiful nails is an art. But, who says it cannot be fun? There is a fascinating world of nail art designs for both toenails and fingernails.

Blue Flower Nail Art Design

Painting your nails with a nail polish design. People from the oriental parts of our globe created the most stunning and innovative pictures on nails. If you have poor painting or drawing abilities, start by creating simple colourful nail polish designs and increase their complexity as you gain confidence.
Decorated nails – As painting someone’s nails was really time consuming and needed a great deal of ability and practice, a simple and fast system was created to get the same stunning results in only minutes. Artificial nails imprinted with beautiful nail designs are a great alternative to stickers.
Sticker nail art – quite fun, but it became too popular and some people may argue that they are out of style.
Round Steel Stencils – they have between 7 and 10 different nail designs and are very useful if you are in a hurry. Just make sure the lower layer is fully dried! They will certainly help women express themselves, even the most conservative ones.
French manicure – One of the most sophisticated fingernail designs. Nails are polished in light pink, beige, lilac or white and the nail tip is polished in extra white polisher. Special kits are sold to do them at home with patterns for the ones who are in a hurry but still want good quality results.
Animal print, flowers or with rhinestones are worn by the most cheeky to catch people’s attention. Some women prefer a low profile and only wear them on one or two nails with a unique fingernail design, usually on their little finger’s nails.

Toenail Designs
If your hands are to look perfect, why not your feet? After thorough pedicure and, if your natural nails don’t allow for a toenail design, stick artificial toe nails. Some of them already come decorated imitating French manicure but in stunning colour schemes such orange, purple, white and red to create that unique look to go with your favourite sandals at the beach!

Simple Nice Nail Art Design

One of the simplest ways to add a little bit of creativity is to add texture. Glitter polish can be that necessary embellishment to take simple nail designs from ordinary to high fashion. Too much glitter, however, will ruin your design. Toning glitter down with a solid color is the way to go.

Simple Nail Designs with Glitter

The hands featured in the image contain jungle green confetti against a lime green background. The glitter or confetti adds a bit of shimmer and interest to this simple nail design. These hands would really stand out in a photo shoot or demand attention from your clothes. The good thing about simple nail designs is that you can easily select different colors without sacrificing the design. For example, these nails would look lovely if you used bright, red glitter and a baby pink background. It would be just perfect for Valentine's Day. This look is great, too, if you desire a fresh, earthy look.

To achieve this look, do the following:

• Start with your choice of glitter polish first. Paint the tips of your nails with the polish.

• Let the glitter polish dry.

• Apply a solid color nail polish across your nails. Start by painting over half of the glitter nail polish tip (diagonally) and then painting the rest of your bottom nail.

• Finish with clear polish or top coat.

Simple Nail Art Design for Cold Weather

Although women tend to neglect their nails during the colder months, it is the most important time to take care of your nails! As you know, the cold air will dry out your skin. So make sure to lotion up. If you are feeling very ambitious, creating simple nail designs for the winter will make you standout for the crowd. It also gives you a chance to experiment with darker and bolder colors.

Simple Nail Art Design for Cold Weather

To achieve this look:

• Paint your nails black. You can also experiment with different color backgrounds to change the dominant color for these simple nail designs.
• Take winter blue glitter nail polish and generously apply it in spurts on your nails.
• Taking dark green glitter, fill in the gaps. Make sure to allow some black nail polish to show through your nails.
• Using a white nail art brush, make spider web-like motions on each of your nails. You may want to practice on paper first. Basically, you are making several white lines that curve. Each line connects to at least one other line. The best way to do this is to start with one line in the idle of your nail. Then, extend another line from that one and so on. The easiest way is to just look at the picture and copy what you see.

The Winter Blues French Nail Manicure design nail art

When the weather outside is dreary, you can relax knowing that your nails look great! You probably do not always create simple nail designs during the winter, but the truth is that there are many fun designs waiting for your nails. How about a play on the original French nail manicure? Using monochromatic blues, you too can celebrate the season with good cheer.

Become an ice goddess with this lovely play on the French nail manicure. Right away, you will notice three distinct differences.

The first difference is the use of color. While the French nail manicure presents a natural look, our winter blues look is well, blue. An ocean blue is used as the base and a cotton candy blue for the nail tip. Finding the cotton candy color may prove more difficult, but you can always use a baby blue.

The second difference is the line, which divides the nail tip from the nail base. A French nail manicure line is usually silver, if any line is used at all. To achieve this simple nail design look, you can use a blue glitter nail art brush or even try silver. If using blue, draw a white line first, and then go over it with the blue glitter. Otherwise, the blue glitter will not show up against the blue nail polish.

The final difference is the angle of the glitter line. A French nail manicure has a straight or slightly curved line to it. This line is clearly angled. The angle occurs to the left of the nail. I would suggest drawing the angled line first before doing anything else. Then fill in the ocean blue. And then the baby blue for the nail tip. That way, you are just coloring in the lines so to speak for the rest of the design.

How to do Nail Art at Home

Jewels: The most important thing to remember about using gems or jewels on your fingernails or toenails is to apply and use the glue correctly. A little hint: press on jewels just won’t work, so move on to the ones that require glue. Then use that glue EXACTLY as directed to avoid globbing, clumping and an overall unattractive look. Also make sure you plan ahead, because moving the gems is like moving acrylics after they dry – impossible without ruining the whole mani/pedi.
