Natural Nails 2011
Beautiful Natural Nails
Your natural nails are just as important and can be just as beautiful as acrylic nails—if you just know in what directions to take them. First of all, you need to take care of your nails. This means that you shouldn’t bite them, leave them submerged in chemicals, or let them break. However, sometimes this may seem like it is something that is much easier said than done. What you may not realize is that if you just concentrate on caring for your natural nails in 2011 could be the year that you no longer have to go searching for nail salons to have fake nails applied! Instead, you can use the nails that you have naturally to decorate and help to accentuate the beauty of your nails.
Secondly, you need to make sure that your nails look pretty. If you’re looking for shine without the damaging effects of nail polish, you can use vitamin e oil or some natural oil on your nails instead. Not only will it make your nails look super pretty and moisturize them, but it will help you to get into the routine of caring for your nails since the oil wears off after a day.
Lastly, make sure when painting your nails to only use nail polish remover to remove any nail polish once and a month and to allow your nails to breathe for a few months in between polish applications. This will help to keep your natural nails looking beautiful all year round.
Introduction to Gel Nails
Nail Art Trends 2011 – Gel Nails
So you’re wondering—what are gel nails? Where do you get gel nails? How to do your own gel nails? These questions are all very simply answered in this introduction to gel nails.
First of all, gel nails aren’t like other acrylic nails. They aren’t nearly as sturdy nor are they very cheap. But, on the other hand, they are also a lot closer to your natural nails than most other artificial nails are, making them great for those who don’t like the feel of regular acrylic nails.
Think of gel nails as extensions, like for your hair. Hair extensions you simply glue or clip in and voila. Gel nails work a little bit differently. Instead of just gluing them on, you glue them on layer by layer until you get them to your desired length. Some require drying underneath of a ultra-violet light, while others don’t.
You can then proceed to paint your gel nails. However, they do not hold paint for long, which may mean many frequent reapplications. Since they are not the most sturdy nails, there is a chance that they will break. Sadly, they have a habit of shattering and require a trip to the salon to fix them in most cases.
With this in mind, you need to decide whether or not you really want to use gel nails. On one hand, they are really great for when you don’t want to look as if you have on fake nails…while on the other hand, they can be a bit of a pain in the butt if you do not or if they don’t work well with you. Remember these things from your introduction to gel nails.
Acrylic Nails 2011
Trendy Acrylic Nails Designs – Spring Summer 2011 Nail Art Trends
When it comes to acrylic nails, you may find it a tiny bit difficult to ascertain what it considered stylish and what you should do with your nails once you have false acrylic nails applied. The acrylic nails 2011 are quite similar to those of 2010, with a few notable differences. First of all, metallic nail color is still in style and so is gold foil or flaking just on top of the nails. You can achieve this by taking gold foil and crumbling it into clear nail polish and then finishing with a top coat.
Decals and stones are also super popular right this moment, making it a great choice for those who are looking to find a simple and quick means of decorating your nails. Red nail polish is still popular as ever, especially fire engine red. Along with this, you can also add decals and metal foil to this color to really spice things up. Keep in mind that you don’t have to go anywhere to have your fake nails done. Most people are more than capable of doing their acrylic nails right there in their own living room. In order to do your own acrylic nails you will need at least two nail pens (preferably in black and white) and a variety of colors. It would also be wise to have some place where you could set down your nails while you are designing them. Optional decorations include crystals, decals, and any designs that you can create!
