Nail Styles

A good outfit requires a beautiful hairstyle. But if you really want to have hit look, then also have yourself fabulous nails.

Yes, your nails. The elegance of your dress and make-up will be put to nothing if your nails speak otherwise. Remember, these reflect your characteristics and personality (too grade school, right?!).

Now if you want to get a set of beautiful and stylish nails, then here are some tips:

Nail Patterns

Create nail patterns by cutting a “band-aid” into patterns and stick it on top of a dry coat of color polish. Apply another color over the previous coat and the band-aid and let dry. You have to be extra careful on getting the band-aid because it’s easy to be ruined. When you peel off the band-aid you'll have a design the color of the lower coat.

Band-aids are good because its glue isn’t meant to be harsh on the skin. Plus the fact that it peels of easily.

And don’t you just love the small holes that it leaves that serves as a pattern?

Marble Effect

A marble effect on the nail can be done by first putting on about an inch or two of water on a container. Get two or three colors of nail polish that you like and add a few drops of each into the water and swirl the nail polish around using a toothpick.

Dip you nail in the container but make sure you dip it into a transparent-type swirl. If you dipped it into the solid looking stuff, all you would get on your nail is a big round glob of nail polish. Wait for the polish to dry then use a nail polish remover to take off all the excess colors on your nails. And viola! Nails with marble effect!

These two styles are just some ways to add spice to your dull and ordinary looking nails. Feel free to experiment and discover all the styles you can use.
