Nail art is everything to beauty junkies these days, and part of why is that there’s always a new nail design to try. A purple unicorn or bubblegum pink peonies couldn’t top classic patterns from the 80s, and that’s just fine with us. That said, we can’t deny the fact that nail art is a bit more work than it used to be. It used to be that you’d buy a couple of kits, follow a few printed tutorials, and you’re ready to love the trend. Now, you really have to get your nails professionally painted.
But here’s the thing: with dryels at stores, you can get a fabulous, fancy, and elegant manicure at home for under $20. And it’s better than going to a salon. Whether you take the DIY route or pay a professional to care for your nails, here are some of the juiciest nail art secrets to remember.
1. Don’t Let Your Paint Chips Off. If you run your nails through the wash cycle with soap and water every day, that set you up for disaster. Because if you’re messing with them, you need to take extra care that the polish is still strong. Avoid caking, so once your polish has dried, let it dry again. And water helps with that drying process.
2. Take Yourself Seriously. Want to stick with a cool trend you like? Avoid shortcut nails. A less than luxurious manicure is what doesn’t work on your manicure. Going cheap just because it’s trendy doesn’t always work. Nail art is no different; it’s a beautiful and meaningful step that you’re willing to go to great lengths to achieve.
3. Don’t Shampoo And Shampoo Again. When you’re painting your nails, it’s imperative that they stay dry. And since polish will dry and become brittle with frequent washing, you want to make sure that you shampoo and condition it just once. Let it dry then shampoo and condition it again. That extra shampoo will freshen up the polish as well.

4. Get The Right Colors. Trying a ton of different nail art colors can be confusing and you may end up disappointed. Find colors that best complement your nail color and your skin tone.
5. Don’t Regret The Outfits You Wear To Posh Events. You’ll never find that perfect nail polish in your favorite outfit, and at times, you’ll regret wearing a totally different look because you have to buy it. It’s easier to overthink the situation instead of picking an honest and neutral color. Pick a quality color that looks good with your outfits.
6. Don’t Forget To Pay Attention To The Colors. Nail art takes a little extra detail to achieve a look that’s far from average. So it might be time to brush up on that creative skills. If you’re feeling self-conscious about something about the nail design, why not think about how people will perceive it? With years of experience, you can learn to create nail art that will work with any outfit.
7. Use Nail Oil. Most people spend hours getting nails in the shape they want without using any kind of product. But now there’s an application that you can do in the bathroom without any excuse to get dirty. All you need is a little bit of nail oil and you’re good to go.
8. Remember This: Nail polish is porous. As a rule of thumb, remove your polish only once every three weeks.
9. Make A Mistake On Your Own Nails. When you’re preparing your nail art, don’t forget to do it with a knife, and that includes yourself. You really need to be careful with drying it from the side. Letting your nails air dry can become a cruelly timed way to ruin the color on your nails. Remember, you’re going to be getting your nails painted. So keep a razor close.
10. Don’t Overdo It On The Wipes. Want your nail polish to stay on? Just wipe your fingers and cover your nails in nail polish remover — as long as it dries within three days.
11. Make An Old-Fashioned Dish of Paint. That means rubbing nail polish remover on your fingers and lightly applying the nail polish to a dish to get it stuck in the mold for a handmade manicure. That way, you can wear your nail art the way you want it to look.
12. Do It The Do-It-Yourself Way. Sometimes, getting nail art at a nail salon is out of your price range. Instead, stick to a good dark color or simple shades that are perfect for doing your nails yourself.
13. Nail Paint! But Not Elsewise. If you’re daring enough to do your nails at home, go all out and get nails painted yourself
