Fun Ideas for Creative Nail Designs

How to Make a Cool Snowman on your Nails
First, you need to paint the nails in a blue shade. With a white nail enamel; create a large circle on the blue nail that should appear as if it’s extending off the bottom of the nail. With the same white nail enamel, paint a smaller sized circle above the larger circle. This would appear as the head of the snowman. Let the white nail polish dry completely. Now, you need to use some black nail enamel to paint a small square at an angle on the snowman’s head. Add a thin line below the square. This forms a hat. Then, add two small dots for the eyes and few more in a curved line for the smile. Use orange paint for the nose. Paint a long and thin shaped triangle as the nose. Once this dries, use red enamel and paint a thin line below the head. Make the line thicker as it cascades below. This represents the scarf of the snowman. Next, you need to paint the holly. Use a toothpick and add three small green dots onto the hat. Use another clean toothpick and dip it in white nail enamel. Make many tiny white dots on the blue background that forms the base. This represents snowflakes.

How to create a Sun on your Nails
To create this design, you would need only two contrasting shades for the nails. Apply a red coat for the base of the nails. Once it dries, you can use a bright, sunny, yellow shade to create the pattern of the sun. With the help of a good brush, draw half a circle at the base of the nail. If the yellow is not seen very clearly, let it dry and then add another coat. Now, you need to add the flames or rays of the sun. For this, paint smaller dots around the semicircle. Join them and whilst you do so, shape them around the sun so that is looks like the rays.

Nail art is definitely catching on in a big way and it’s time you paint your nails in a splash of colors to showcase your glamorous side (Acrylic and Japanese nail art designs are equally in vogue)! Use these ideas for creative nail designs and explore your imagination to come up with some amazing ideas. Have fun!
