Nails Art Ideas 2010, Dark Beauty

Many people prefer to have darker colors to accessorize their clothes, or to just match their already dark outfits. Dark colors are well suited for some, and are very popular among certain crowds. Dark colors are especially suited for fall and winter, since fashion trends often require darker colors at those times of the year. One thing that needs to be mentioned is that dark colors often look great on those with pale skin.

This nail design is perfect for those who want a more neutral color palette to go with their outfits, but with a splash of color. It’s great for working women or stay home moms. Anyone can pull this design off with great flair.

To get this dark beauty design, paint your nails a dark brown. Using a mauve polish, paint the lower corner at the right. Paint it in an angle so you have a triangle of color over the right corner. Then use a line brush and mauve polish to make lines that come up from the left bottom corner and through the brown polish. Use gold glitter to add some sparkle and pizzazz. Make three or four lines to complete the look and apply topcoat.

How to Remove Acrylic Nails

How to Remove Acrylic Nails

Acrylic nails are beautiful, and have always helped people with weak nails. Some nails are naturally weak and will not grow long no matter what you try. However, you must remove them eventually. Here are some tips to help you know how to remove acrylic nails:

• You must look for a place to sit comfortably when you remove the artificial nails. You can use your kitchen table. Make sure you cover the table with plastic papers to avoid any mess in your kitchen.
• Make sure that you have all the things that you need. This ensures that you do that fast and conveniently.
• Cut the acrylic nails using clippers. Make them very short so that you can remove them easily.
• Use nail polish remover that has acetone in it. Fill it in a small bowl and then soak your nails to dissolve the glue.
• Apply some jelly on the skin around your nails before you dunk them. This ensures that your skin is not dehydrated by the nail polish remover. Avoid applying the jelly on your nails.
• Soak your finger nails in the remover for at least fifteen minutes. This ensures that your fake nails loosen from the natural ones.
• After that, you can try to remove the nails gently. If some of the acrylic nails are still stuck to your nails, soak them for another five minutes. Avoid using force when peeling the artificial nails.
• Soaking stubborn nails again makes them soft. This makes you free from the acrylic nails.
• Wash you hands properly to remove the entire nail polish remover and the jelly.
• Use a nail buffer to remove any nail glue on your nails. Do it gently to make sure that you do not damage your nails.

Tye-Dye Nail Art Designs 2010

Tye-Dye Nail Art Designs 2010

Tie-dye is a great design. While it may not be complimentary on everyone as a tee shirt, tie-dye is a wonderful way to mix and match colors. The fading of one and blending into another is a signature of tie-dye and it is a great way to bring lots of colors to an otherwise boring object. Shirts, socks, and toys all are occasionally tie-dyed.

Nail art can also be done, though it isn’t as many colors as a tie-dye. For this design, you need three colors – pink, purple, and blue acrylics. You also need a brush-on resin and rhinestones. This design takes the colors and fades them into each other, while the rhinestones make a great 3-D effect that is stunning.

First, put a ball of pink acrylic near the cuticle and pull down the nail. Then put a ball of purple in the center and blend up into the pink and then down the nail. Add blue glitter acrylic in a ball at the bottom of the nail (in the clear spot) and blend into the purple. Cap in clear acrylic and use brush-on resin to put the rhinestones on. You can do this with a variety of colors but the effect is absolutely gorgeous.

Nail Art Ideas 2010, Powerfully Purple

Purple is a wonderful color. There are so many shades of purple that it is nearly impossible to count them all. Purple often complements many other colors, so it’s perfect to use as an accessory or even in nail art. Purple nails draw attention, but they don’t draw ridicule, so they are perfect for those who want to make a bit of a statement, but don’t want to deal with a huge rush of attention on their nails.

Purple is also a great color to use for occasions that are more elegant. It can be added in small amounts to touch up an outfit or the main focus. When used in nail art, purple is the perfect color to add just a splash of elegance to nails and to tie an outfit together. While some women focus on their hair alone to tie an outfit together, nails are just as important and when you have a special occasion, they are the perfect tie in.

To get elegant purple nails, start by mixing acrylic powder with purple glitter – both light and dark purple. Add the mix to the free edge of the nail and wipe the smile line. Put clear acrylic along that line and put seashells in the clear acrylic. Use clear acrylic to cap the nail and if you want, make a flower out of white acrylic, add rhinestones, and paint white stripes up into the purple. This is a great touch for events such as proms or weddings

Nail Art Tips, Wave of Glitter

Nail Art Tips, a Wave of Glitter

Glitter is always popular in nail art. Glitter is used as animal’s eyes, the petals of flowers, or even as the wings of a butterfly. Glitter brings a lot of style and personality to nail art, and it seems that it is always in style.

Waves are another thing that is very popular in nail art. This is because they are beautiful, versatile, and always fun. Combing glitter and waves together is a great way to make nail art that is a conversation piece and that is as exciting as it is beautiful. You can use your own colors if you want, but make sure they are complementary to each other and that they will go with most outfits easily.

To get a wave of glitter on your nails, first apply blue glitter gel (in a thin coat) at the free edge and use a pointed gel brush to add a thin line of black right against the blue. Let that cure for one minute and add a thin coat of green glitter gel against the black line. Put another black line at the end of the green and let cure. Repeat the blue and green to the end of the nail. Make sure you are applying the gel in a sweeping motion.
