Nail Decoration: a New Concept of Art
Popularized by the Japanese, nail art is the art of decorating nails with various materials. An art that goes beyond the application of enamels and drawing images on the nails. It has become an art that aims to keep nails healthy and looking good.
Some women use this art as their beauty base. For many it becomes the expression of their emotions and feelings. And for artists it means using nails as their canvas to show the world the creativity they have within.
You would be surprised to know the various ways in which artists decorate nails, considering them as small canvases. For those who trim their nails, they have artificial nails to extend the size of the "canvas" available to the artist.

Here are some tips on how to enjoy this art.
- Free Painting - As its name suggests, the artist paints on the nails without any pattern. Designs and images can be simple or more complicated. Leaves, flowers, fruits or animals are some of the designs. Nail salons create their own designs for you to choose from, also available at nail art galleries on the web. You can even choose to contribute your own design.
- Stickers - Nail stickers are pre-made designs ready for easy application. It is only necessary to take off, place on the nails and that's it.
- Jewelry Nails - Let Them Shine! Jewelry nails are the latest novelty. Nail salons use Swarovski crystals and other small stones to turn nails into bright, eye-catching jewelery. These are normally located on the edges of the nail, although some designs are distributed along the entire length of the nail.
Obviously, before opting for any of these nail art expressions, your nails need to be healthy and strong. Otherwise that investment that you have made in your nails will be lost when the nails break, crack or chip. And what better way to avoid these problems than with proper nail care?
Proper Nail Care
- Always keep your hands clean and protected.
- Never wash your hands with very hot water as it can dry out the cuticle that protects the nails. If the nails dry out they can become brittle, affecting the overall structure of the nails and promoting their breakage.
- Use a mild cleanser, preferably soap or detergent free.
- Wear gloves when doing chores, especially if you use water. Soaking your hands in water can weaken your nails.
- Keep your nails healthy by applying argan oil to your hands and nails. Argan oil is packed with nutrients like essential fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants. Massage this oil onto your hands and nails at night and let this oil do its job of nourishing and caring for your nails.
Nail art is the latest beauty novelty in our day. Women have the possibility to show their image on their nails and keep them as another part of their beauty. There is no doubt about the evolution of nail care to the art that it has become today.
