On the edge
Your hands are probably on view a lot more often than you realise. Artificial nails or nail enhancements or extensions, are coverings placed over fingernails as fashion accessories which have been causing quite a stir globally amongst the fashionistas.
Trend-setters of the likes of Beyonce, Lady Gaga or Rihanna are sporting this explicit look on their fingernails and even not shying away from going over-the-top. Nalani Madhushani from Bengaluru who has been trained in nail art from Sri Lanka feels nail art trends are just as important as the outfit and can go a long way in making a bold fashion statement.
Get edgy
A trend that’s just catching up in India now, started with false nails that were stuck temporarily on the real nails and were usually sported by the stars. Long, coloured and shaped nails were the fashion and if ones nails did not grow or could not be maintained this was an easy solution. But these nails did not last, they were cumbersome and often came off. There are many women who have a problem with growing their nails to a fashionable length due to various reasons. This may include brittle nails, working conditions, lifestyles, or inability to overcome their habit of biting their nails. Whatever maybe the reason, long nails remain envy for many.
Designs on you
Nail technicians, down the years have now made the option of nail extensions that are fixed on top of the natural nail and as and when the base nail grows out, the gap is filled with the artificial nail material. Materials used range from gels to acrylic powder. The most popular nail extension trend is the evergreen French nail extension. Get the nails done from trained technicians who can take care from the nail to nail bed.
Nailing the art
Nail art is done in two categories, creatively done by drawing and paint and polish. A DIY (do-it-yourself) way is stamping nail art that can be done easily by first applying nail polish and put the stamp of the design.
Nail care
Use proper home care products for nails like applying cuticle oil twice a day. Wash your hands with anti-bacterial hand wash. Prevention is better than cure. Remember to treat your nails like a jewel. Refrain from using it as a tool to pull or open cans. For those who bite their nails, extensions can help solve this problem with pretty nails.
