The beauty of a woman is, first of all, her well-groomed appearance, and what speaks most about a woman’s well-groomed appearance is her hands.

A bad manicure, rough skin, and lack of jewelry speak of untidiness and a desire to look not like a woman who turns heads and breaks hearts, but like a gray woman who doesn’t care about how others perceive her.

Well, if you want to look good, but don’t have the money for a salon manicure, then it doesn’t matter - this article will tell you how to create a stunning design on your nails without spending any extra money or time.

The simplest nail designs for beginners

Even those who do not have artistic talent can create an original and aesthetic design on their own nails. This does not require professional varnishes or any special tools - all you need is imagination and some available tools that are found in any home.

An unusual drawing is easy

To create a simple drawing you will need:

varnishes of various colors
needle
cotton swab
nail polish remover (in case things don't go as planned)

With the help of multi-colored varnishes, the manicure will become colorful and unique.
Before starting the creative process, you need to prepare your hands: put them in a hand bath with sea salt for 15-20 minutes, tidy up the cuticles and the shape of your nails. After this, you can lubricate your hands with nourishing cream and wait until it is completely absorbed.

But you should not apply cream to your nails - this can harm the future design.

First step: nails need to be shaped.
The simplest nail design is to create various lines, dots, geometric shapes in a chaotic or orderly manner. To do this, the nails are painted in the main color, and after the varnish has completely dried, dots are applied with a needle or lines are made with a brush (but this already requires some skill).

It would also be useful for beginners to use various stencils. After the design has dried, a fixative is applied on top - this way the beauty of your manicure will last for a long time.

Introduction

Every modern and well-groomed girl today will not allow herself to leave the house with unkempt hands.
Masters are ready to offer clients a lot of ideas for manicure - from classic options to colorful designs. The most popular technique is applying gel polish.

Using a thin brush, you need to apply white acrylic paint and draw any designs along the edges (this could be waves, curls).
