DIY Nail Art: 3 Fun Techniques!

Solid colored nails are pretty, but sometimes it's fun to spice things up a bit! This means designs! Designs look great, but many people think that they are too difficult or take too much time to apply them. Have no fear, here are three nail art ideas that are simple and do-able on your own! You just need a few supplies.

1. Fan Brush Nail Art
To achieve this look, you will need a small fan makeup brush. First, apply a normal solid layer of whichever color you choose. Then, put the next color that you want on the brush and brush it on the solid coat. Repeat this step with as many other colors as you wish- and you will get the look above!

2. Half and half

To achieve this two-color-nail, all you need is scotch tape! Apply the first coat of whatever polish you choose. Allow this to fully dry, then apply the scotch tape onto your nail in whatever shape you wish. This will allow the second layer to have a crisp and straight line that appears professionally done. After painting the second coat, peel off the scotch tape and check out the result!

3. Band-Aid Polka Dots

For this trick, you can cut a simple band-aid and use it for cute dots! Paint the background polish with any color you like, and make sure it dries fully. Next, apply the band aid with the holes onto your nail. Use the polish you would like for the dots and paint it over the top. Before peeling the band-aid off, make sure this is dry so it does not smudge when you peel of the band-aid. After repeating this step you will have an adorable polka-dotted design!
