What is nail art?

A nail art is basically altering the conventional ways of coloring a fingernail to make it an art. If the old ways describe a brush putting on a single solid color onto a fingernail, a nail artist would create patterns and intricate drawings onto the nail with multiple colors. This art can come in different types. One is the 2-dimensional that creates a picture out of your fingernail and the other, the 3-dimensional where the designs pop out. You can do more with Vancouver 3d nails compared to the 2-dimensional nail art. It is more than just a flat nail bed with illustrations on them. Texture is given to the nails when you have a 3-dimensional design.

Unique Organic Nails Polish

Organic nail polish can be made easily at home with henna powder and water. The result is a gorgeous non-chipping natural nail color that is eco-friendly and safe for your body. This recipe yields enough organic nail polish for a single application to all nails. The color will last for several days-weeks before significant fading is experienced.

How to Make and Use Organic Nail Polish
by willow sidhe

1. Make a thin paste, which will be your organic nail polish, by adding warm water to a small amount of henna powder in a small bowl. The consistency should be thin enough to spread with a nail polish brush, but not too thin as to be watery.

2. Apply the organic nail polish to your nails with a clean nail polish brush. Be very careful not to get any on your skin, although if you do, it should fade much faster than your nails. Allow your nails to dry in the sun, if possible. If this is not possible, dry in a nail dryer or near a small fan.

3. Rinse your nails in tepid tap water once the organic nail polish is completely dry. The result will be a soft pink color that will not chip. The color will slowly wear away with time, and this method can be repeated as necessary.

4. Discard any remaining organic nail polish when you're finished. A new batch should be made for each application, as henna loses its active properties after being mixed and exposed to the air for long periods of time.

But healthy nails

But healthy nails are not enough. Today they prefer long and strangely shaped nails that are not always possible. That is why artificial nails have become so popular.

Unique Nail Care Preparation

If you already take care of your hands and feet, you may only need to apply lotion before doing your nails. At a minimum, wash your hands or feet and apply lotion. After applying a moisturizing lotion, take a towel and rub it well across each nail. Also use the towel on your hands. This will remove any oils on your nails so the nail art stays in place when you apply it later. Next, you should trim your nails into the shape you want them for your nail designs. Usually, people follow the natural shape of their nails whether that is square, round, or triangular. A nail file can shape and trim your nails easily without removing too much of your nail.

Beautiful Acrylic Nails

Acrylic nails are one type of artificial nails that you can buy. They are made by mixing a chemical powder with a chemical liquid. The safest and highest quality acrylic nails are made with Ethyl Methacrylate (EMA), however, a less expensive variety of artificial nails that are also safe are made with Methyl Methacrylate (MMA). It is important to buy the highest quality artificial nails because they typically have less of an impact on the natural growth of your real finge

Logo Nail Art

Shameless Heidi Montag fan, but NOT of the nails! I love a label here and there, especially if it’s fun and kitschy, but multiply it by 9 and it’s a little too much for me. Secondly, the one time I had the most fantastic nail art done, it was in East Elmhurst, Queens - so if I would have rolled in there asking for those adorable interlocking CC’s, I probably would have been laughed out of the joint.

Healthy Nails

Biotin supplements are sure to keep your nails thicker and healthier. Not only does this supplement promote healthy, strong nails, but it also promotes healthy hair growth as well. Additionally, you will want to make sure to load up on iron and zinc. These minerals play a strong roll in strengthening your nails. You can find healthy nail-promoting nutrients in foods such as beans, legumes, and whole grains. Furthermore, it’s important to take good care of your cuticles. Abandoning your cuticles can lead to nail infections which have the potential of becoming relatively severe. When cuticles begin to show, they should never be removed. Instead, they should be pushed back into your toes or fingers. This process is easier and much less painful if your toes and fingers are well moisturized. Lastly, and this can’t be stressed enough, you must clean all of your manicure and pedicure tools after every use! This is especially the case if you share nail tools with someone else. Using unclean tools can lead to serious infections and fungus growth. Assumedly, this is the polar opposite to the look you are trying to achieve for your fingers and toes.
