Tips to get a great manicure at home
Nail art is the latest rage among women of all ages. These days, a wide variety of colors and designs can be found for beautifying one’s nails. If you are planning to get a manicure at home, you can save some money and still get a great result. At-home manicures can be as simple or as detailed as you like, depending on your skills and comfort in painting your own nails.
Here are a few nail art tips on how to get started:
The first thing you need to have is properly trimmed nails. File away the chipped nail edges and remove all visible cuticles on your nails by simply pushing them out with a washcloth or a wooden cuticle stick.
Now the fun part begins. Choose your art- the color and the design you want to have. There are various types of nail polishes that you can choose from acrylic paints to nail paints and polish. There are nail trinkets also available in your local stores. If you simply want the whole nail art package, there are kits that are available that includes the nail color and a selection of embellishments.
You can make a design. If you are not the creative type, then you can find plenty of designs on the Internet with tips on how to get them done right. All you need to do is follow the steps and as you practice, you can come up with your own designs.
When you are ready to get started, remember to put all your products at arm’s length and prepare them properly. Place everything neatly as you do not want to look for embellishments and other things later with wet nail polish.
Lastly, do not forget to apply a base coat and top coat before and after doing the manicure. These will help in protecting your nails from staining and the nail art from getting chipped off.
Take your time in painting your nails and your manicure and nail design will come out great. As you do this more often, you will get better. You can try out different designs and experiment with different embellishments. In time, you will become an expert and will not need to visit a salon again. So get started and have fun!
