\"NAIL<\/a><\/p>\n

Creating French Manicure
\n<\/span><\/strong>No need to go to a beauty salon to get it done. Just pick a rubber band from your home cabinet and stretch it across your thumb and first finger to create the French tip. Now paint your nail along the edge of the rubber band and you are done doing the first nail. Repeat this technique on balance nails.<\/p>\n

Inventing Nail Colour <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Trick 1:<\/strong> Whoever said you can\u2019t invent the nail shades and make one of your own? To do so, put a little bit of eyeshadow pigment in a spoon. Now add clear and transparent nail polish to it. Use a cotton swab to mix the ingredients and use a brush to apply the newly made colour. This is a good chance to tell your friends about your new-found art of exploring fashion and beauty.<\/p>\n

Trick 2: <\/strong>To lighten the color of your nail polish then add in a drop of white nail polish, mix well and apply. To darken the color mix in a drop of black nail polish.<\/p>\n

Drying Up Nails<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nail polish takes its own sweet time to dry. This can be made faster. All you need to do is soak your nails in a tub of ice water once you are through painting them. The cold water will set the paint and make your feminine nails dry out faster. You can also spray non-stick cooking spray to make the nail polish dry up faster. Keep the spray few inches away from your nail and spray your nails evenly and in a measured way. After waiting for a couple of minutes, wash the residue off your hands to get that neat and clean look on your nails. Ways to dry nail polish faster >><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Making marbled effect<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We all have played marbles in our childhood. You can create a similar effect on your nails where all you need is swirled nail polish and a cup filled with water. Pick your first finger and put a tape around your nail to protect your skin. Now fill a small paper cup with water. Choose 2 different nail paint colours and put a drop of each into a cup of water. Take a paper clip and swirl the layers together in order to create the design of your choice. Put your finger in the cup for a few seconds and see to it that the nail is facing the paint layer so that the imprint gets on your nails. Take out your finger from the water once you notice the marbled impression coming up and clean up the nail edges to get a finished look.<\/p>\n

Avoiding Air bubbles<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\non the nail for about a min with firm, even pressure, using a toothpick. Give the glue about 5 mins to dry completely. once the glue is dried the nail will be back together again.
