Color is one thing that should be considered. The colors of the nails should not completely distract attention away from the outfit.

HALLOWEEN NAIL ART
Halloween is a fun time for everyone. It’s great fun for kids who get to dress up, and then run around with their friends and family visiting other people and getting lots of candy. But it’s fun for adults too. Adults can dress up, and there are always tons of Halloween parties to attend.
While costumes are great, the Halloween spirit goes beyond just the night of Halloween. There are lots of people who enjoy dressing up to show how much they love Halloween, sometimes as early as late September! One great way to show your love of Halloween, without having to wear tee shirts with black cats or earrings of ghosts, is to decorate your nails. Nails allow you to make your statement in a more subtle way and are always great fun to decorate.
To decorate your nails for Halloween, add orange acrylic to the top of the nail and then brush it toward the free edge. Make an off-center V on the free edge using gold acrylic and then apply black acrylic. Make sure that you apply the black over the gold, but leave an even amount of gold showing on either side. Outline the black in gold confetti and then cover with clear acrylic.
MAKING YOUR NAIL POLISH LAST
MAKING YOUR NAIL POLISH LAST
Let’s face it; most women greatly enjoy getting professional manicures. Not only do they come out looking flawless, but they can be extremely relaxing. However, one of the biggest downsides to shelling out 15-30 bucks for a manicure is that the color eventually begins to peel and fade. Most of us have experience that horrifying feeling when we scrape our newly manicured nail against a wall, ruining the smooth coating of paint.
There are ways to protect your investment by keeping your nail polish fresh and new looking for a longer period of time. First, nail polish color will become damaged by prolonged exposure to the sun. Therefore, it will be beneficial for your nails (as well as your skin and hair) to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
One way to preserve your personal bottles of nail polish is to make sure the bottles are shut tight. Leaving the bottle open will expose the polish to air, causing it to dry up. This will make the entire bottle essentially unusable, and you will have to throw it away.
Furthermore, there are brands of nail polish that will last longer than others. When purchasing nail polish, it is important to keep in mind that you get what you pay for. In other words, the more expensive the nail polish, the more durable that polish is going to be after being transferred to your fingernails. There are big differences between qualities of nail polish, and it is likely that you will have to experiment before finding the one that is best suited for you.

Before you proceed to turn your nails into your own personal canvas, there are some steps you should take to ensure that your artwork turns out optimal. The first step is to file your nails to the appropriate shape and length. Using a nail file, however, can be relatively tricky. First, if you want to remove a great deal of length from your nails, you should begin by clipping the. This is a quick process, and you will want to make sure you don’t clip too short. You will want to leave room to shape your nails with a file.
Hold the file at an angle at each corner of your nail and stroke it lightly until your nails begin to take on a smooth rounded shape. Many people choose to buff their nails after filing, which gives them a slightly smoother texture and appearance.
After your nails have been shortened or shaped, you can apply a top coat of nail polish. You can either brush this polish onto your nails, or you can use a toothpick to create custom designs. Obviously, creating your own designs will take significantly longer, and there is a good chance that you will mess up and have to re-start a nail. In any case, custom designs can be a fun and exciting way of painting your own nails.
If you don’t have the time or skill to paint your own custom designs, you can fabric or stickers instead. Simply apply the fabric or stickers to the nail, and cover it with a top coat of clear nail polish for a unique and exciting look.
