There are no boundaries when it comes to the creativity that you can have when you are painting your very own nail art design. It’s great to cook up unique designs for your nails in an effort to stand out and express yourself. You can find plenty of ideas out there to help you recreate your very own one of a kind and beautiful nail art designs.
One of the best ways to go would be to paint abstract nail art designs. This is because you’re not restricted on what design to make. You can add as much details as you can or you can make the design as minimalist as it can depending on the look that you want to go for in the design.
All you need to do to create the perfect nail art design is to choose the right colors and theme for your nails. It doesn’t matter what or how many colors you choose, what’s important is that they go along together and that they complement the design of your nail art.
Painting your very own abstract design
Before anything else you need to clean your nails and prepare your nail polishes beforehand. You would not want to stop painting and wander around and wasting time looking for the right color of nail polish to use. So make sure that you have your things intact before you actually begin to sit down and do your thing.
- What to prepare:
- Base color
- Acrylic colors of your choice (it depends on how many you will need)
- Nail polish brush
- Glitter polish
- Clear top coat
- Cotton buds or tissues for cleaning
- Embellishments for the top of the nails, crystals or beads will do
- Toothpick for more details
Starting off
Begin with painting your nails with the base coat of your choice. You can go with clear or any nail polish color that will go with the design that you have picked or thought about. What’s important is that the base coat protects the nails from the layers of polish that will go right on top of it. Make sure that the base coat sticks by coating it two times.
Creating the design
You can begin by creating a long French tip design that starts from the base of the nails and extends to the tip forming a v-shape. This leaves a small v-shape in the middle of your nails that has yet to be colored. You can give your own twist to the French tip such as adding curves on the sides representing a floral design. Whatever works for you should be good.
Using the thin brush create outlines similar to veins on top of the design. Start at the edges of the white polish and fill the sides where the colored polishes are with the extending veins. You can use black or darker color for this, just make sure that the veins are prominent and can be seen or contrasting with the earlier colors.
To make things more interesting dab small amounts of glitter polish on top. This helps accentuate the design. Remember to not overdo or the design beneath will be consumed.
For the finishing use the clear polish with the help of the toothpick to glue the embellishments on top. Make use of the extra space near the cuticle area to put your beads or crystals on. When this is done you now have your very first abstract nail art design!
