As trends change, so should you. No matter where you are, nails are noticed - whether you are exchanging gifts or waving at your friends. Sometimes they are even more noticeable than your hair and dress. Therefore, following nail trends is not only important for fashion sense, but it also gives the impression of standing out from the crowd.

The Basic Styling

Caring for your nails is never an easy task. You can simply visit any nail parlour and ask for the most basic manicure service from them. It includes a systematic process of cleaning, washing, filing, drying, coating, colouring and application of natural oils.

French Manicure

This is one of the simplest, stylish and apt of any occasion. French manicure has its roots in America. Interestingly, this is a purely American trend misunderstood as a French one. French manicure involves painting your nails a simple baby pink or cream colour, then applying a thin strip of that colour to the tip.

There is a reverse version of the same, trending recently, where the bottom part is painted white, leaving the upper as pink or any colour of your choice. This also looks simple and stylish at the same time. This is the best option for those who do not want to be painted with punchy colours like orange teal or bright red.

Nail Art Painting

In nail art painting, artists draw objects of your choice on your nails. There are various methods of doing this. Some artists use thin striping tape to make fine lines while some use a precision brush; some also use a sprayer but their objective remains the same. It adds cute details to your nails, which you can use to deliver your message or even show your love for your favourite comic characters.

Acrylic Extension

Nail art is incomplete without extension. This one is the best option for those who want to take this to another level. The extension means using materials and objects to extend your nail size. It creates a hard protective layer on your nail. In extension, a liquid monomer and powder polymer are mixed and applied on your nails and the extra part is filed away in the end.

Two other types of extensions include gel-based and shellac-based extensions, which are in trend nowadays. A gel manicure includes the same basic manicure process but with the addition of a gel polish cured under UV light twice, then the topcoat is applied to cure the nails.  While, shellac is a natural compound, and has comparatively low chances of any type of damage.

Korean Beauty

With the increasing popularity of Kpop and Korean drama, we are getting a ton of beauty tips and hacks. Of these, Korean nail art stands out the most. There are many types of nail designs, including doodle on nails, Korean pink nails, tonal contrast, cuticle designing, and others.
