Begin with preparing the nails

Before you design your Nails, no matter what kind of design you are opting for, preparing the nails is an essential component of nail art that should not be skipped. Whether you are heading to the parlor or whether you are planning to do it at home, do not forget to clean your nails properly and prepare them for nail art. Remove any old nail polish which is present on the surface of the nails.

If your nails are clean, simply use a cotton ball dipped in acetone to sweep across your nails anyway. If your nails have grown longer, you can trim them. However, do not trim it too short because the longer the nail, the easier it is for you to make the designs. After cleaning and trimming, you can apply the base coat to the nails finally.

The purpose of applying a base coat is that the nails will be prevented from incurring any stain on the surface. Once you have applied the first layer of the base coat, wait for it to dry up completely. There are different kinds of base coats in the market that you can purchase. Choose the one you like the most.

What kind of designs are best for beginners

As a beginner, you should give a try to something easy to make! Whether stripes, polka dots, or so on, do not go for something too complicated as you may easily get it smudged due to lack of expertise. The best thing to do is begin with a tip. Once your tips look flawless, you will be able to move to the center and the base slowly. As we said, the base coat layer needs to be applied first.

A maximum of two layers of base coat is enough to do the job. You can place a sticker on the nails and then design the tips with your favorite shade. If you don't have these French manicure stickers at home and instead you can manage to do it by yourself, then go ahead. If you are using a sticker then remove the sticker when the paint is still wet. Now you can allow the tips to dry off! Proceed to do a Native American design that you find fascinating.
