How to Do Nail Art Designs – Nail Art Designs DIY

1. Begin with clean, shaped nails. If your nails are short or you want to do complex nail art designs, you may want to consider acrylic nails.

2. Decide on a nail art design. Think about the type of look you want for your nails. If you are a beginner you may want to start with simple flowers or patterns.

3. Paint your nails with a nail polish base coat. Follow the base coat with a coat or two of nail polish that is the main color of your design. Let dry completely before and after each coat.

Now you have the base to do nail art designs.

4. Use nail art brushes and/or dotting and marbling tools to do nail art designs. You can also use household items to create effects; hair pins, toothpicks, thin tipped paint brushes etc. These are great to help you do nail art designs.

5. Start with simple designs. A flower is a cute look to try. Using a toothpick or dotting tool, dot several small dots in a circle. Add a small rhinestone to the middle for glitz.

 Another simple look is a tiger nail. Use a strong nail polish like black or purple for the background. Then paint thin stripes across the nail with a fine brush.

6. Add extra glitz to your designs with rhinestones, decals, glitter, foils, metallics, lace and more.

Reapply top coat every few days to help the nail art designs last longer.
