Hand Painted Nail Art

Hand painted nail art can add an element of beauty to a basic manicure or pedicure. With a world of possibilities and inspirations, hand painted nail art is limited only by your imagination!

A simple flower flatters!

If you've grown tired of a basic shade of nail polish adorning your free edge, freehand nail art may be a welcome solution. Nail art can be applied to any or all of your nails, whether they be fingernails or toenails, and can add a vibrant burst of color or much needed dose of flora during the cold winter months.

The most popular nail art designs include small flowers, stars and swirls which are directly painted on the nail after the final finish of nail polish. These designs are usually painted in a freehand manner, but there are stencils and airbrush techniques which also offer a gorgeous, flawless application.

Freehand designs can be applied to your liking, with your own choice of colors and adornment added to the decorative piece. If you're looking for a unique way to accessorize your look while enhancing your beautiful nails, artful designs may offer the impact you desire, all while serving as your creative outlet.

Hand painted nail art services are normally offered at specialty nail salon and spas in addition to high end hair salons where a manicurist is working on board. The level of skill may vary between manicurists, so make sure your professional is familiar with freehand techniques prior to booking a nail appointment.

A professional nail artist will have a variety of paints as well as stencils or tools to help them create the perfect design. In addition to the painted piece, nail art is normally decorated with the addition of adhesive rhinestones or gems.

Most people who have frequented a nail salon have, at one point, been asked by their manicurist if they would like a small flower or design added to their nails. This intriguing question will either make you love or hate your finished manicure. If you aren't sure of the idea of art, always pass. Nail art will not wear off on its own; it will need to be removed at the same time your nails need polish removal. Although nail art offers a short lived commitment, nail art makes a definitive statement, while obviously detracting away from the color and simplicity of a regular manicure.

On the other hand, if you desire a burst of character or crave a fun look for a night on the town or a tropical vacation, a simple nail art design may be just what you need!

The following tips and techniques will help you find a nail art style that is flattering and wearable, no matter the occasion.

Tips and Tricks:

1. Although most manicurists will guide you in the decision, it is best to only apply a maximum of three colors to the art piece to avoid appearing garish or visually distracting.
2. Most people frequent a professional salon or nail spa for services, but for those artsy folks who venture into the creative world of nail art at home, make sure your nail polish is thoroughly dry before applying the freehand art. In addition, seek out pictures of nail designs for at home inspiration.
3. Limit the art pieces to one on each hand or foot if possible, and keep the design cohesive. Alternating patterns or designs can distract from the overall look.
4. Apply any gemstones or crystals with a pair of tweezers for precise placement.

Whether you're headed on a tropical vacation or want to show your feminine side with a subtle flower, nail art can help define your look. This frivolous and fun form of art is bargain-friendly and sure to please the most eccentric of personalities!.
