We now have to make up for nail! Note that this is not the boring old nail paint that we are all used to! This is painting the nails with all sorts of wild designs and patterns. The latest technology is used to paint on beautiful stuff. Nails are not mirrors to a person’s creativity. Earlier, a pedicure or a manicure would involve a basic coat of nail polish or maybe some henna. Today, the possibilities are endless when it comes to nail art. People go the extent of matching their nails perfectly with their dress, right to the print of the fabric.
Nail art is the latest craze. It is seen everywhere. Hands everywhere are adorned with nails. No look is complete without this latest accessory. Like many women who refuse to leave the house without make up, nail art is soon going to reach that status. It is not only worn by kids but is seen on hands even at formal office events and weddings. This latest art is said to have started in Japan. They are the masters of art after all. All the famous nail artists are Japanese just like all the great tattoo artists. They include Michiko Matshushita, Eriko Kurosaki, and Junco Ogava. Nail art in henna is popular too. It has been practised in India since the ages even before it became a fad.
Nail art has gained momentum in the last decade. The simplest forms can be done at home too. There are studios and salons though where one can get customised nails. The designs can be really elaborate tending towards wild if one desires.
Painting
Designs are painted over a base coat of nail paint. This requires a deft hand to look good. It could be geometrical, funky and creative. The process is lengthy and tough. It should be left to a professional to do. A proper manicure is needed to be done before the design. The cuticles should be flaked off and the tips cleaned. Nails have to be shaped well and buffed.
Embellishments
People also decorate their nails with beads, feathers, flowers, glitter, and stones. Some people even use semi precious to precious stones. Tiny stickers look cute too. The designs and decorations can vary too and the options are endless.
Piercing
It is gaining a lot of popularity today. Piercing is no longer restricted to the ears, navel, eyebrows and other common places. It also includes the nails. It is similar to normal piercing and jewellery is worn I the hole. Usually rings or little ‘ghungroos’ are worn in the hole.
Acrylic Nails
These are great to make nails look longer and more defined. For those who bite their nails, they swear by these wonder creations. They can be painted over to look natural. They hide flawed nails and re comfortable and easy to put on.
Like getting any other chemicals, the paint sued here too is poisonous. So as long as you do not get these in your mouth, you should be fine. So flaunt those pretty little things and go crazy!
