Learn Nail Art and Earn Big

Women have been dabbling in nail art since time immemorial, but it's only recently that this specialized treatment of nails has flourished. It has become so popular that you can now study how to become a nail technician in a special school. In fact, so many women, even without formal training, are trying their hands in nail art designs using tutorial videos uploaded by expert designers on YouTube.

You can enroll in a nail tech school if you want to improve your skills as a nail art designer. Still, here are some tips to help you start with basic nail art at home.

Prep your Nails

When doing nail art at home you must make sure that your nails are clean. Old designs may possibly interfere with the new nail polish or nail art that you want to do.

Cut and File

Another way of preparing your nails is by cutting and filing your nails. Make sure that you do not cut your nails too short. It is better to have longer nails so you have more space to work with. You can file your nails in a square like form or a round like form. It is also good to remove the older coat of cuticle on your nail.

Put on Some Base Coat

Base coats are very cheap and inexpensive. They can be bought wherever nail polish and other nail paraphernalia are sold. Base coats are usually transparent or clear in color; some may appear bluish. This coat is applied on to the nail to prevent staining of the nail. This would also help in the preservation of the nail polish on your nails. It would prevent the chipping of the nail polish.

Be Creative and Use Your Imagination

Here are some proven "beauty secrets" to make your nail art stand out:

Stickers and Colors

Nail art is a form of self-expression; you must know yourself in order to express yourself. If you are so girly, you can try to put nail stickers on your nails as well as jewel stickers. It would definitely look nice on top of a pink nail polish or a base coat. You can also apply different colors on each nail or two primary colors on the edges of your nails. When sticking on these stickers you can use some tweezers and some adhesive or glue to make sure that it won't fall off easily. Allow the glue to dry and put a clear top over the stickers.

Shining Shimmering Splendid

You can go all out when it comes to this type of nail art. You can apply nail gel on top of your nails and then apply some loose glitter on top of it let it dry and then apply a clear top over it. You can also apply different colors of glitter on each nail.

Being able to do nail art professionally is one of the highest paying jobs you can have. However, that would only be possible if you get the best training possible.
