Nail art as a concept is very popular and people love to enhance their nails with creative designs and using different art forms. We have received several questions from our readers on how to do easy nail art designs at Home? So here is a simple, easy to do nail art tutorial for you today.
This flower design is created with items that are easily available in your home. Toothpicks, Q-tip, paper towel, water, scotch tape help create a beautiful nail art.
Here’s a simple Chevron Tip Nail Art that needs no professional experience or tools.
What you will need to create this:
A base coat, a top coat, go with any two nail polishes that you like (we used a pink and a purple polish here), a white polish and a dotting tool or a toothpick.
1. So, let’s start. First, prepare your nails i.e. file them, push cuticle with the help of orange stick, buff nails and make sure that there is no moisture remaining on your nails.
2. Second, apply your base coat.
3. Once the base coat dries completely, apply a coat of pink polish and purple polish (on ring finger). Repeat this the second time too.
4. In order to create a chevron tip, take purple polish and stoke it in diagonal position from the left side of the nail. Fill the remaining part of the nail below the diagonal and repeat the same stroke from the right side of the nail (as shown in right picture).
5. Let it dry and if necessary, repeat the process to apply a second coat. On the ring finger, create the chevron tip using pink polish and your nails will look like this:
6. Use a toothpick to place some big white dots on tips.
7. To give a finishing touch, dip a toothpick in pink polish and draw a dot inside each white dot on all fingers except the ring finger. Use a purple polish for the ring finger.
8. For the last bit, use a polish remover with a thin brush to clean up the cuticles.
It’s not as difficult as you imagined it, isn’t it? You can make this with different colors, and try alternate the base color rather than accenting it. Here’s another chevron manicure using the same technique.
This nail art is perfect for special occasions and can be done very easily at home. It has a silver crackle polish to get the perfect chevron and dotted look.
Give your imagination a little push and you can have gorgeous looking nails. We will come with more nail art designs using different techniques in the coming posts.
