 Decorated nails or nailart: how to look nails like a famous?

Wearing decorated nails is an art, what trends will we see this year?

1/11 Water Nails, the latest in decorated nails
Artists such as actress Blanca Suarez have already been encouraged by the latest trend in decorated nails: nails with a wet effect. They are original and easy to do, you only need the nail polish of your choice, a gloss that makes the color matte, a round tip punch or dotting tool like the one used to make polka dots and, finally, transparent gel glitter to make the drops on the nails.

If you do not have the light for the gel effect of the drops, you can use a normal transparent shine but then you will have to be very patient and wait a long time until they dry completely.

2/11 Brand logos, the latest trend to paint your nails
If you thought you had seen it all when nails decorated in gradient shades or ombre appeared, get ready for the ultimate: nails painted with fashion brand logos. One of the most demanded trends this year in beauty salons in the United Kingdom like the one we show you with the colors and the logo of the sports brand Champion, although we have already seen them with the logos of Louis Vuitton or Dior.

3/11 Matte painted nails, simplicity in #nailart
Painted nails are nothing new, since the great Hollywood artists of the 40s took care of them and painted them, it must be remembered that although having beautiful nails was always considered a sign of femininity, the first colored enamel did not appear until 1924 and it only lasted one day. In the 1930s red polishes began, at first not very popular because they remember prostitutes and, nevertheless, one of the most iconic colors for nail lacquers today, either in vibrant reds as marketed by brands such as Dior and Chanel in her own iconic shades, such as those with more maroon or purple undertones.

Now, with the infinite number of enamels, a trend that began recently is strongly implanted: nails painted in matte colors like the ones Kylie Jenner wears on her Instagram, have you tried it yet?

4/11 How to paint your nails to obtain a matte finish?
The easiest way to paint your nails with the fashionable matte finish is to purchase a specific product that removes the shine from any polish we use like this one from Essie, 'Matte About You', for an approximate price of 12 euros. However, there is also a way to do it at home, although it is more laborious. We have to get ourselves with cornstarch (cornstarch), a soft bristle brush and a strainer to sift the powder so that it is without lumps. The first step is to eliminate all the lumps of the cornstarch and then paint the nails with the polish we have chosen, when it is still wet we will apply the cornstarch all over the nail, using the brush, and let it dry. After a few minutes we will remove any remaining dust with water, et voilà! We will get some homemade matte nails.

5/11 False nails in metallic finishes
False nails are perfect for a night out, wedding, cocktail party, or sudden gathering. They are quick to put on, easy to take off, they don't last long and they save us from a pinch. If we do not have a beauty salon on hand or we have not had time to paint our nails at home, we can use it, as does actress Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things, for the clueless) at the Screen Actors Guild Awards gala . The teenager added a casual air to her Calvin Klein look with white converse and fake nails painted in chrome polish, another #nailart trend this season.

6/11 Metallic Nails, the latest to paint your nails
As we have already seen, many celebrities have already joined this trend when painting their nails: betting on metallic and chrome tones. Here you find three of the latest OPI enamels, they cost around 17 euros although it depends on the point of sale, since they can be found both in large stores, perfumeries and they are always a guilty pleasure of duty free at airports.

7/11 Sobriety as a trend in permanent nails
Less is more when we talk about how to paint your nails this season. Dark colors with short nails are a trend among famous Spanish women as the presenter and model Eva González shows us on her Instagram. These colors are also the most used for permanent nails because they withstand the vicissitudes of day to day very well and, although they are noticeable when the nail begins to grow, they combine more easily with all the looks that we choose, unlike a decorated nail with crystals or one enameled in orange or gold.

8/11 Nude color on your lips and nails
The nude filled all the catwalks and the stands of the main makeup brands such as MAC, Fenty, or the collections of the Kardashian sisters, in past seasons, now they also arrive to be established in our nail polishes. They are simple colors that go unnoticed for which adding a touch of light on one of the nails is an option used when decorating our nails. There are many celebrities who have joined nude tones such as Sara Carbonero but we must not forget that fashion moves in transgression, so if you want to paint 9 nails in a nude color and another in a bright color like red or purple, you will be up to date!

9/11 Acrylic nails, the solution for long nails
It is impossible to take care of the nails so that they acquire a length like the ones that Khloe Kardashian looks like. The trick? Acrylic nails. Acrylic nails are, like any other type of false nail, widely used to perform nail decoration, since it allows to achieve nails with a length and a hardness conducive to working with them and that could hardly be achieved with natural nails. For its application, a false nail tip is normally used on which the acrylic is applied, which, when drying, is filed to give the desired appearance. This year 2018, the long and sharp nails, imitating the claw of a cat, are treading hard and there are several famous ones that already wear them on their official Instagram.

10/11 Natural gel nails
False nails, whether acrylic or gel, are often used by celebrities to add a sophisticated look to their hands and, although we have already mentioned that they are perfect for decorating the nails, the current trend is towards sobriety. and minimalism. The long nails refine the fingers and give the appearance of 'pianist hands', like the ones Rihanna wears on her Instagram. This year, in addition to taking sharp nails, they are also natural with nude tones or simply with glitter, as the artist looks lately.

11/11 What options do we have in false nails?
When we talk about decoration and nail designs, we necessarily talk about false nails, one of the most used resources by the famous of the star system, but what options do we have?

Acrylic nails are made with acrylic, a mixed material of polymer powder and a specific liquid. When used for nails, it sets strong thanks to its hard plastic consistency that fits perfectly and grips tightly to the natural nail. The placement process is longer than that of other false nails and, although their application is more expensive, if you take care of them they can last more than six months.

Porcelain nails are made on the basis of fiberglass, which causes the placement to be somewhat more laborious, similar to that of acrylic nails. They do not offer a natural appearance as acrylics because they have a pinkish tone and also require more exhaustive maintenance, since as they are attached to the natural nail, as it continues to grow it is necessary to cover the new part of the nail. Their advantages are that they are easier to remove and that they are quite durable. Gel nails use oligomeric gels and are more porous than the previous two, thus preventing the appearance of possible fungi. Its application is fast, since to make the nail a guide paper is placed on which the gel layers are arranged. They are stronger than porcelain but they look much thicker so they are more unsightly, they are also weaker and break easily.

Plastic false nails are the fastest option, they come in boxes like the one shown in the photograph (these are Primor for sale for 9.99 euros) and they either have a sticker already incorporated so it is simply placed on top of the natural nail, or they come with a special glue with which to adhere them. They are quick and comfortable but they are not durable and, in addition, usually when removing them, part of the adhesive always remains on the nail so, although they are useful for a quick fix, they are not the appropriate option if you want to show off a decorated manicure that lasts some weather.






Caring for and painting nails is one of the beauty rituals that most brings us to mind because how to make them look perfect? It is clear that celebrities do not usually wash the dishes, or type on the computer for hours, and that is why they can afford to wear kilometer nails with matte finishes and nail decorations that are impossible to maintain for ordinary mortals but, the important thing is not lose focus: we can also get to wear beautiful and decorated nails if we know how and know the trends.

When analyzing the general trends in terms of decorated nails, it is clear that there are still two aspects: that of the natural nail and that of the artificial nail, but above all, we see that nail decorations are simpler than in previous seasons, leaning towards the minimalism and simplicity.

However, the most important thing for a good nail design is to get a good base, that is, to do a good base manicure. With cuticles at bay, well filed and strong. We do not always have time to go to a beauty center so, if we are going to venture at home, we must take into account the following to be able to show off beautiful nails: soak your hands before starting your manicure, do not abuse of the file and always do it in one direction so that the nail does not break or weaken. Also, it is best to use a soft file or a glass file.

It is also important that you take care of the cuticles, since these are the ones that allow the nail to grow strongly, so you should never cut them but push them down with an orange tree stick or one with a silicone tip.

Finally, hydrate the cuticles and the nail with a suitable oil, allow it to be absorbed and, afterwards, wipe with a cotton ball with a little vinegar, that way you will eliminate excess oil and, when you start working with the enamel to create your decorated nails, you will get them to last perfect much longer.
