Who doesn’t love good nail art? When your nails look good, you also feel more confident to go out there, shake hands with people and make a statement. But it’s also a reality that having your nails done professionally can be quite expensive. So if you’re on a budget, it’s best to get your nails done at home.
Now if you’re just getting started with nail art, here are some designs that you’ll surely nail even if you’re a beginner:
- Stripes. If you’re doing your own nails for the first time, you can never go wrong with stripes. Choose a base colour that will be the foundation of your nail art. Neutrals and monochromatic colours would be your best bet. For instance, you can go for a simple nude for the base and use a striping brush to add a vertical line on your nails after that base coat dries. You can also experiment with different stripe patterns on different nails to make your tips look more fun.
- Glittery tips. Another no-fail nail art design that you can try as a beginner is the glittery tips. This is especially good if you’re going out for an event or you just want to impress a date because your nails will look very expensive and professionally done when you just did it on your own at home. Again, you have to start with a neutral base coat to give that clean and fresh look. Then, to add glamour to your clean nails, use a glitter polish in gold or silver on the tips that will instantly make your nails look more luxe.
- Rainbows and pastels. If you’re the type who doesn’t shy away from fun looking nails, and you’re ready to really make a statement, you can put the rainbow on your nails. Mismatched nail colour is one of the hottest trends today because it makes you look youthful and can instantly add that much needed pop of colour even if you’re wearing the simplest outfits. Oh, and who doesn’t want to brighten up their day with such fun colours? Now if you don’t want to do the entire rainbow spectrum on your nails, you can always go for pastels instead.
- Stars. If you’re a beginner at nail art and you’re still trying to master drawing on your nails, you can begin with stars because they’re the easiest to make. Stars also make great statements without making your nails look too loud. Again, start with a base coat of your choice and add the stars on all or a few of your nails. Now if you still haven’t mastered drawing stars on your nails, you can go with nail stickers that will help you achieve the look a lot easier.
Doing nail art is definitely fun, and it will also help you save a lot of money. You just need to invest in the right nail art supplies, practice, and before you know it, you’re already doing your nails like a true pro.
