Home Made Nail Art Ideas

Nail art is going all the more trendy. You can glue dried flowers, beads or a piece of your favorite fabric on to your nails. 


The whole process is not time consuming and does not require professional help. This piece of art remains intact for up to 4 - 6 weeks.






Process
1. Outline the shape of fabric you have chosen and cut them out or cut the printed fabric.
2. Wash your hands and pad them dry.
3. Apply a cost of adhesive agent to the nails or if the adhesive is not available then a thick coat of a transparent nail polish will also work.
4. Now place the cut out fabric pieces on the nails polished with the adhesive before it dries up.
5. Smoothen out the creases and press lightly and let it dry.
6. Finally apply a coat of the transparent nail polish and we are done.



How To Select The Fabric
1. Silk:
It is very popular and stylish. It is very fine and has a strong weave. It gives the finish of a French polish.

2. Linen: It is much thicker than silk. It stays opaque even after the adhesive is applied. Remember to apply a layer of nail polish colored or transparent on it.

3. Organza:
It is stiff yet light so it is easy to cut and shape. It stays on for days without needing to be touched up.

Georgette, chiffon or cotton or any fabric can be used. Only thing to be kept in mind is that it should not limp or hang lose.



Match colors and designs with your outfit..!!
