Nail art design is an imaginative and artistic process, involving special care and expertise for bringing out the best effects.Nail art primarily refers to the design and color patterns the nails art decorated.
You can have hand painted nail designs to enhance the look of your nails. Nail designs are a do it yourself art and completely a fun filled activity. Here's how you can do it.

How to do Hand Painted Nail Art Designs?

1. You don't need to go for a manicure, but your nails need to be clean, properly trimmed and nicely shaped. You can do this by just cleaning your nails thoroughly with a nail brush, shape them with a nail filer, push back the cuticles and then use a nail buffer.
2. Choose the nail colors for design and the base coat color. Also, get the base coat, the top coat and the brushes for the delicate designing work over your nails. Use thin brushes for best results.
3. Start with application of the base coat over your nails. Now, take a base color according to the background you wish to have for the nail design. Apply two coats of this base color; wait for the first coat to dry before applying the second. Let the nail color dry properly before you start with the nail design.
4. Now, the real fun of hand painted nail designs starts. Take a fine brush, a nail paint color of your choice, and start with the designs. Believe me, once you start, you will feel your nails are the best canvas to paint over and explore your creativity. You can draw some designs on a paper with pencil, and then choose one for your nails. It will be easier to copy one instead of directly trying it on your nails, if you are not so good at painting.
5. Once you are done with painting the designs, let your nails dry completely. After the polish dries, apply a layer of top coat. This will protect your hand painted nail designs, and let them stay for a longer duration over your nails.
6. Keep cotton balls and pure acetone nail polish remover handy to quick-fix any mistakes. Make sure that you are in a place where you are not disturbed. Lay a wiping cloth around to take care of any spills during your work. This nail art needs total concentration and patience.

Tips on Choosing Nail Designs

The following tips and ideas for nail art designs will give you some lovely nail art ideas and "new nail picture" that are wearable, irrespective of the occasion.

 

    * Remember, not to use more than three colors for nail design because that will be distracting.
    * You can choose two colors matching your outfit and create a nice pattern. Keep the base color of the nail polish same as the base color of your outfit.
    * You can make stripes if you are wearing an outfit with stripes.
    * Go for tiny flowers if you are wearing a floral design.
    * Simple dots over your nails also look awesome. Use the same color for each dot because multicolored dots won't look attractive.
    * Freehand designs also look good over the nails. Again, use a single color for the entire design; it will look simply amazing.
    * Try to make the same design on each nail, though some very minor differences are always possible. Avoid alternating designs, i.e. same design on alternate nails.
    * If you don't like the overall painted look, just play with the tips of your nails. Make beautiful pattern on your nail tips and leave the remaining part of your nail plain. This gives a unique look to the nail art.
    * You may also keep the base color transparent and just use colored nail polish for the designs. This gives a trendy look, but again, do not use too many colors.
    * Try smudging two colors, may be at the tip of the nails, in a beautiful pattern if you are not good at delicate designs.

So, try the above tips and make your own unique and creative "nail designs". "Hand painted nail designs" surely gives a cute look to your simple "polished nails". The "nail art" won't wear off on its own; you need to remove it, along with your nail polish, using a nail polish remover. Follow the "nail care" routine, try your hand at nail designs and have fun.

Hot Nails by Rihanna Style

I think red is such a classic color…
so feminine and sexy. It’s so timeless you can literally match it with
any outfit. Rihanna
is the ultimate red nail-ed diva! I love
how she experiments with her nails, or matches the red nails with her
lip color to make a statement. She’s definitely one of the most daring
and risque ladies in pop! I can’t wait for her new album to come out
next month… I know I can rely on her for some upbeat workout tracks!!!

This is that OPI  nail polish I was telling you about! I love it! It looks like rubber!
I had to add a twist so I did a clear coat on the tips to look like French tip nails, but in black! My mom didn’t know about matte polish and when I showed her she said “never use this
polish… it’s very dull and doesn’t look shiny at all!

This fall it’s all about matte nail polish!! You can alternate matte and glossy by doing a matte nail and a glossy tip or vice versa. I have been wearing an army green nail polish by Orly called Enchanted Forest from their Once Upon a Time fairy tail inspired collection and that’s my new obsession! It’s like a deep forest green and it’s so gorgeous! I might try to matte-ify the tips with a darker color and see how it looks!

Also OPI has the best

Right after Toronto, Brittny and I headed to NYC! Her hometown! And I had a day full of meetings.
Our way to NYC wasn’t any easier than our trip from Vegas to Toronto! The only way to NYC from Toronto involved car rides, a ferry water boat ride that was so shaky, then a bus, then a plane, and then we finally made it to NYC!
We honestly were laughing so hard at all the steps we had to take to get on a flight! Once we got to NYC Britt and I tried to hit up every spot that was our favorite in one day! Our favorite nail spot was closed! We ended up going somewhere else that was so horrible we had to go to a CVS Pharmacy and get nail polish remover and nail polish to redo it ourselves!
We shopped at Barneys and then ate at Serafina! The best food ever! We then came back to the hotel and hung out a little bit then Scott picked us up and we all ate at Phillipe’s! Our one night in NYC was so worth it and long over due!

Substitutes for Homemade Nail Polish Remover

Given below are some of the things that are easily found in our house that remove the nail polish as effectively as any other fingernail polish remover:

Nail Polish: Yes, I am sure you have a bottle of nail polish at home. All you have to do is apply a thick coat of new nail polish on your nails and wipe it off immediately before it gets dry. The old nail polish will come off the nails with a new one. Isn't it easy, quick, and inexpensive? You can also call it a natural homemade nail polish remover as you are not putting anything foreign on your nails.

Hot Water: If you have weak fingernails, then hot water is again one of the best natural homemade nail polish remover you can use. You need to heat a bowl of water to the temperature that you can tolerate. You must soak your fingers in the hot water for fifteen minutes. Once the nail polish becomes soft, scrape it off gently. This idea may be time consuming but hot water is a complete natural nail care substance.

Perfume: Your perfume too can help you get rid of the ugly nail polish. Perfumes contain acetone which is one of the active nail polish ingredient found in commercial nail polish removers. If you are ready to spare some amount of it then try this idea. Take few drops of perfume on the cotton swab and wipe off the nail polish.

Rubbing Alcohol: Rubbing alcohol is one of the natural yet effective substance that has antibacterial qualities. It contains ethanol and ethyl alcohol that helps removing the nail polish. It may solve various fingernail problems if you are suffering from any. It is easily available in the market in small bottles for cheaper price. Take few drops of rubbing alcohol on the cotton swab and rub off the nail polish.

Hairspray: If you have hairspray or mousse then removing nail polish can be easier for you. Hairspray contains ingredients that are used in commercial nail polish removers. So, take a small amount of hairspray on the cotton swab and see the old nail polish getting vanished within few minutes.

Toothpaste: Toothpaste too is a strong contender when it comes to homemade nail polish removers. Using toothpaste as a remover can be a little messy but it is one thing that is readily available in every household. You need to apply small amount of toothpaste on your nails and then wipe it off with cotton gently. The old nail polish will come off the nails along with the paste.

Apart from this you can also use paint thinner, or a mixture of vinegar and citric fruits to remover nail polish at home. Acetone nail polish remover is also efficient but its safety is questionable. So, take your pick from the above homemade nail polish removers and see your nails getting cleaned to don some more colors again!
