Nail art is a canvas through which you can express yourself and create stunning patterns to stay stylish. It is not necessary to get it done from a specialised nail parlour as it can be instantly done at home by following some simple procedures. Nail art can be done by taping, sponging, painting with brushes. All you need is variety of nail paints, toothbrush, needle and sponge.

2. Taping

Applying a base nail polish is an initial task. Once it dries, cut small pieces of tape and stick it on your nails to create patterns. Fill another shade in the leftover spaces that are visible after the tape application. Later, you can remove the tape slowly and gently to unravel your patterns.

3. Needle design

Apply a base nail paint, let it dry partially and you can apply another stroke of colour in the middle of the nail. Use a needle and move it steadily in a zig-zag manner to create stunning patterns. However, the needle can also be moved in a circular motion. You can also use the same procedure to draw flowers over your nails.
