Top 10 Nail Art Designs to Try at Home

Mess-free nail art: Apply petroleum jelly/lotion around the cuticle area or commercially available nail polish barrier for mess-free application.

Prep your nail: Prep your nail before cleaning, and trim down any rough area on the nail and around the cuticle for a smooth, finer polish coating.

Nail tools: You can easily buy a set of multiple brushes, stencils, stamps, stickers, and other tools anywhere for quick and easy application of nail art design.

1.     Floral pattern

      Put, any nail base color will pop out other shades of flower design more.

      Then, for better detail, use a thin nail brush or basic dotting tools to draw floral petals on the background color easily.

      Use your artistic skills for placement and drawing flowers of different sizes to make them more intricate.

      Add leaves or other elements to make it more realistic.

      Finally, when you are satisfied with your art, use a top coat for shine and longevity.

2.     Simple Polka Dot Design

      First, you have to apply any solid color base of your liking. If you are applying a lighter background color, then the dot should be of darker shades, and vice versa.

      Then, take your dotting tool of different sizes. You can create polka dot designs easily.

      With these tools, the mandala pattern can also be made with a few nails on it, while the remaining coat has a plain base color and a colorful geometric design.

      Now seal it with a top glossy coat, and your funky nail art is done.

3.     Glitter Bomb

      Choose any darker color paint, like maroon or black, for the background color.Then, grab tape or paste it on top of the background color in any geometrical shape.

      After that, paint the area of the nail that is not covered with tape completely with glitter nail polish.

      After a few minutes, when the nail paint is dry, carefully remove the tape.

 

      Apply the top coat, and you will have a sparkly, glittery pattern within minutes.

4.     Water Bowl Method

If you love the marbling design but need help to do it using tools, then we've got you covered.

      Just fill any bowl with water, then drop different colors of nail paint in its center one by one.

      When you are satisfied with your pattern, take a toothpick and mix this drop to create a marbling effect.

      Then, dip your finger vertically in it, and you will get a beautiful marble effect.

      Repeat the same process each time for every nail from the start, and you will get a unique marble design on every nail.

      Remove any excess marble pattern around the cuticle, and you are good to go.

5.     Ever Green French Tips

      Opt for any nude nail paint for the base, apply two even coats of it, and let it dry.

      Now, use fine brush guides for the nails to create thin white lines across each nail evenly.

      Fill up any gaps or mistakes, and use a top coat to secure your final artwork.

      For a pop-out effect, outline the sticker surrounding.

      Once you are happy, seal it with a top coat.

      After completing your mini canvas on each nail, set it with a top coat.

      In this technique, each time, you will create something new & it's a fun way to challenge your artistic mind.

8.     Metallic Chrome Art

      Again, apply a no-wipe coat and cure it, then gently rub your desired chrome powder in a circular motion with an applicator brush.

      Once the shiny surface is achieved, set it with a no-wipe top coat layer and cure it.

      Then remove any residue with a clean brush, and you have beautiful gradient metallic nails.

9.     Splash Art

      Take any light base color and apply at least two coats for full coverage.

      Then, dip any flat brush in nail polish and create a splashing design on the nails by thumb.

      Repeat this same process with multiple nail shades to create a colorful pattern.

      Once your splattering art is dry, apply a top coat.

10.                         Festive Celebration

To celebrate each moment of your favorite holiday or festival, you can customize your nails.

      Choose a base color that signifies that moment.

      Now, pour all your creativity into making cute pictures like a heart for Valentine's Day, a Christmas tree, a snowman, etc.

      You can also use stencils or stickers for quick fixes and play with different color themes, shimmers, and designs to make your holiday nail art.

      To make it more bling and shiny, use sparkling rhinestones and studs for more drama

      And remember to evenly coat it with a glossy top to make it more lustrous.
