Simple nail art designs can be tweaked and made more complex by adding just the right amount of flattery. By using rhinestones and other eye catching nail art like silver nail polish, simple art designs are taken to a new level. Take the photo featured here for example. Instead of using a few stripes, Monica used many multi-colored strokes to create designs that are very lively and animated. A few gem decals and silver polish complete this simple art design.
The juxtaposition of black and white creates a look that is innocent yet mysterious, light yet dark, and plain yet complex. These black and white designs have just the amount of funk to draw just the right amount of attention! To achieve this black and white nail art, section each nail into 3 layers. Paint the top section black, the middle section white, and leave the last section clear. Use a silver art brush to outline your black and white design Add 3-4 black dots to mimic zebra print and a few lightening strokes for added flair.
Although you may be able to draw straight and diagonal lines when painting your nails, chances are it is not always perfect. Not to mention that it can be a slow and frustrating process, especially when you have to draw designs with the hand you do not write with. There is an easier way to draw lines with nail polish using scotch tape. The best part is that this process causes less smudging and errors. Watch the tutorial on draing lines while creating a cute, black and white polka dot nail design in the process!
Nail art pens allow you to take your designs to the next level. If you love doing your nails but have trouble drawing a straight line or drawing small shapes on your nails, nail art pens is the answer. They are pens that contain various colors of nail polish for your artistic pleasure! With the pen, it is much easier to draw designs and causes less frustration. For example, polka dots are a popular simple, fun design. However, drawing numerous small dots on each nail can be challenging. Shapes, such as stars, hearts, circles and even cougar print are all possible with art pens.
