Do Nail Art

A well manicured or fancy set of nails is very classy. It dresses up even a pair of sweatpants.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Nails
Nailpolish

Step 1

First start by deciding what color you want to do. If you like a french manicure style but your sick of the natural look, you can paint the tip a different color. If you have sparkle type nail polish you can use that.
Step 2

Another easy way to do a little wild design is to paint a bottom color, and then you can take a small piece of your hair from your head. Take a different color and dip your one, two, or three strands into the nail polish. Then swirl it onto your finger nails creating a "different design". You can stop at that, or you can add several different colors.
Step 3

A nice two-color design is take one bottom color and paint your nails. Let them dry. Then take a second color and paint half the nail with it but going from one corner to one edge of the nail. It's a diagonal design and if done correctly can look very sleek, sexy, and classy.
Step 4

If you have an airbrush you can airbrush your snails and use a template. You can use the same template and paint them with your nail polish but it is very time consuming cause you need to wait until they are dry before moving on.
Step 5

You can purchase nail art stickers that you can place on your nails too, to spice up your nails. You can buy gems, and gold art from your local beauty supply store. You will need the special glue to place them on your nails.

on 12/23/2008 Brings new meaning to "getting your head in the game" doesn't it!?! My daughter will love this article, she uses toothpicks. My hands are too jittery, I couldn't do this if you paid me a million dollars, but it's still a great article; very informative!
