Homemade manicure

If you sometimes don’t have time or money to go to an expert nail technician, you can just develop some designs of nail art on your own. It is becoming more and more popular nowadays to have a so-called homemade manicure. Though most manicurists are not quite happy about it, many online sites show how to make your own beautiful nail art.

Some more creative ideas for a homemade manicure you will find on this page.

If you are looking for some popular solutions for your nail designs, consider a crackled or shattered look which can be performed with no effort by means of a special shattered polish. To implement this revolutionary idea, you will also need a regular polish to be used as a base coat.

Remember that a crackled varnish will always go on top to give your nails a very interesting and spectacular effect. Use a base coat of some red shade and a shattered varnish of any dark, preferably black, color. This will produce a really funky and attractive nail design of 2012.

Another type of nail art designs which you can implement at home is based on gel nails. You may think that applying gel at home is a bit of a challenge. It is not, if you have some required tools. It is very popular this year to leave a tip of your nail transparent and to paint a base in some subtle shade such as light orange or baby pink. You can also paint some swirls on each nail. Here, it is essential to use some contrasting color to that applied on the base.

There are some more simple, but very attractive nail art designs which are widely used in 2012. One of them is an inverted French manicure. Here you need to use a transparent or white color for the base coat and some shade of red or pink for the tips. There is a variety of bright colors to be used like this.

You may also use one of those beautiful nail designs for beginners that are offered on our site. They are small flower blossoms, dots or straight lines, snow-flakes or hearts. The colors used may vary from blue and green to pink and violet. Or you may create your own unique design if you have a plenty of ideas and a patient hand.
