Nail art is all the rage this year, and you can play a big part in the trend’s success by taking the time to prepare your nails for a stress-free life. As we pour all our water and oil into our everyday lives, maybe it’s a good idea to think of the major items you might have to always have on hand when you need to show a little style with your nails.
According to nail experts, here are ten fast and easy ways to keep your manicure healthy, polished, and healthy.
1. Moisturize your nails
Everyone knows to keep your skin hydrated, but treating your nails is a good alternative to washing your hands. Make sure your nail oils stay in the right area of your nail bed by massaging a little onto the tips of your nails.
2. Style your nails like a celebrity
Celebrities are always surprising us with the number of styles that they put their nails through. It’s easy to follow their lead!
Just about everything you can do with your fingernails can also be done with heels, so you can get the perfect canvas for adding nail art. To get the look, set the base of your nails with base and top coat, and then add a drop of wine color. For the finish, place the same piece of pink or pink polish under a dot of glitter.
If you’d like to give it a second try, there are many clever nail art tutorials online on Quora, Reddit, and Tumblr.
3. Use your unopened nail polish bottle to keep your nails looking clean
These colorful bottles can look artsy while keeping your nails looking freshly manicured. Just fill it halfway, and let it sit unused at the bottom of your nail file for a week.
4. Try a stylist nail polisher
Kylie Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and other top fashionistas have resorted to trying out the look of nail polish on Instagram, and it’s actually totally doable.
Using a polisher roller to round your nails works best when the polish is neutral-colored. For a trendy look, buff away any leftover polish from the last time you got manicured, and buff even more polishes onto your nails to make them look clear. Next, use the polish roller to quickly work in an over-the-top color, preferably just one or two coats. Place the polish roller in your nail file, and buff away with your fingers for about five minutes.
5. Use a few coats of color
Pick your current nail art theme, and try painting on one layer of opaque color first, then applying two coats of your favorite nail polish color for even more polish wear.
6. Chill your nails
Keeping your nails warm will keep them from drying out too quickly after each manicure. Instead of getting a manicure at the nail salon, try mixing up a whole batch of nail lacquer on the stove and popping it into a thermos to keep on hand.
7. Fake it while you wait
Ditch your comfortable bed or sitting chair in favor of sitting at a comfortable workspace, like a desk or a park bench. A relaxed attitude on your part is always much more productive than a preoccupied attitude.
8. ‘Nipper’ your nails
This portable nail polish set works wonders on smaller nails, so no matter where you are, you can stay up to par with the latest trends in nails.
9. Be a quick fix
Most patients will likely resort to using a simple nail file to avoid crunching up on a ketchup packet or too many fast food leaves, so why not create a piece of hardware that will help keep you from getting dirty? When your nails are especially messed up, you can give your nails a quick fix with a stylist nail file.
10. Get glam
You’re about to graduate from your high school or college years, so it’s time to add some swag to your nails! Apply two coats of this super-pigmented nail polish for an easy and trendy look.
