Stars can be simple bursts or they can be intricate designs, but however you want to wear them, stars are always in fashion.
Stars Nail Art

This particular star nail art design is one that you can easily change the colors if you need to. You can change the purple to a dark blue or black, and the color of the stars to whatever you need. This lets you match the design to your outfit and the occasion, without a whole lot of effort.
Stars Nail Art

First, paint your nails deep purple. Then use white polish and make a star in the lower right corner. Put three little white polish crosses above the star – this gives the illusion of smaller, twinkling stars. Then use white and gold glitter polish to make streaks that are the star’s tail. Change the colors to suit your needs and seal it all with topcoat.

2010 NAIL ART IDEAS, MOONLIGHT BAMBOO
Moonlight makes many things very beautiful. Oceans, skies, and flowers all look more beautiful under the moonlight. Many see a moonlit walk as one of the most romantic they can take with their partners, while others enjoy trying to collect things such as clothing or blankets that have the same colors as a moonlit night.
If you love the moonlight, you can capture it on your nails. Nail art designs are not limited to bright flowers or little bows. A moonlit sky with whatever you want in the background is easy to do now. You can have bamboo, flowers, trees, or whatever else you would like to see in the moonlight on your nails. For this design, moonlit bamboo is done with black and blue polish and a liner brush.
First, pain the nail blue. It’s best if it’s a lighter blue, one that closely resembles a moonlit sky at night. Think of how the sky looks during a full moon to find the right shade of blue. Then use the liner brush and paint a bamboo segment. Leaving a small gap between segments, paint bamboo down the side of the nail. Add a small curve to the bamboo for personality and variety. Add bamboo shoots in the segments. Add leaves to some of the shoots and add topcoat.
NAIL CARE KITS FOR PERFECT NAILS IN 2010

NAIL CARE KITS FOR PERFECT NAILS IN 2010
Many women use nail polish and have fancy nail art added to their nails. With all of this comes the need to really take care of your nails to keep them strong and ensure they grow properly. When it comes to nail care kits, there are a few standard things every woman should have.
Compiling your own nail care kit doesn’t have to be a daunting task or cost you a fortune. If you think of what the manicurists use you will get a good idea as to what you should be using. You will need a good nail clipper for your fingernails and toenails, and always remember to cut them straight across so that the sides don’t get damaged. When it comes to files, it would be a good idea to get a variety to shape and buff your nails. You may also want to get a sanding block for buffing to ensure all the ridges on your nails are removed.
When it comes to cleaning and caring for your nails you should get an antibacterial wash, and a soft-bristled brush for the nail surface and underneath the nail. Cuticle cream and oil will help keep your cuticles healthy and soft. Always be sure to have a good nail polish remover, and a clear nail polish to use as your basecoat and topcoat. Add a towel to rest your feet or hands on, and a washbasin if you are going to do a pedicure.
These are just some essentials that every woman should have in their nail care kits.
APPLYING POLISH TO NAILS, TIPS 2010

APPLYING POLISH TO NAILS, TIPS 2010
When it comes to applying polish to nails, it is never as simple as just dipping the brush and painting the nail like installing wall-to-wall carpeting. There are a few things you should consider when applying nail polish.
Before you begin you will need nail polish remover, cotton balls, a clear base coat and color nail polish. The first thing you will want to do when applying polish to nails is use the nail polish remover to clean the nail, using a cotton ball. This removes old nail polish and also any dirt or grease that may be present, so that the new polish can be applied evenly. Then next step after your nails are dry is to apply a clear base coat, as this will allow for the smooth application of the new polish.
Roll the colored nail polish to mix it well, as shaking would cause air bubbles. When applying polish to nails it is always good to start with a line straight down the middle of the nail from the cuticle to the tip of the nail. This will ensure that the centre gets more polish, as opposed to risking overflow on the sides. Also remember to start with the smallest finger and work your way to the thumb. This will lessen accidentally messing wet nail polish on something else. When it has dried apply a second coat, and after about half an hour you can apply the protective topcoat.
Follow these simple steps when applying polish to nails, and you will have perfectly painted nails in no time.
