Paying a visit to the nail salon every week for an envy-rousing, on-trend manicure will burn a hole in your purse. Instead, exploring your creative streak with DIY nail art will save precious moolah and have you sporting a different theme for every party. All you need is to dip into your collection of nail paints and use little items like brushes, tape and toothpicks from your craft drawer.
Heart-themed manicure: This one’s most suitable for date night.
Nail hack: Create hearts easily and symmetrically using a toothpick. Do the classic red hearts on a white background or vice versa. Conversely, display your disdain for romance with black hearts.
Ombre nails: Gradient nail art has been spotted on the fingertips of celebrities like Katy Perry and Jessie J, because of its optical illusion effect.
Nail hack: Use a sponge to apply the colours to the nail and then blend. For a glamorous party look, let one shade be glittery.
Marble nails: Marble nail art looks like it takes hours to achieve. Cut down on the time required by using a nail polish template available at beauty stores.
Nail hack: Shop for different nail polish templates with a marbled effect.
Place on your nails and trim the edges. Add a top coat, and you’re ready!
Floral design: With summer approaching, springtime floral nails are in demand. Nail hack: Make dots on your nails using a toothpick.
Add colours over the dots for depth. Dot your nail in such a way that it forms the shape of a flower. Use green accents for leaves.
Simple French manicure: You can never go wrong with a French manicure. This classic is a hit for daytime occasions.
Nail hack: An easy way to do a French mani at home is to use a rubber band or nail tape to ensure a clean line.
Sky theme nails: The sky theme is for times when you want to show off your free spiritedness.
Nail hack: Strategically layer white and sky blue colours over one another in the shape of clouds to achieve this dreamy look.
