There are many different styles of nail art as well as many different ways to apply it. It comes in many forms from stickers to free-handing and is all designed to give an appealing appearance to the fingernails. No matter what the form, it all makes a visual impact on those who see it and allows those who wear it a small bit of self expression. Here is a quick look into what it takes to achieve some of these fingernail looks.
There are many who love to improve the appearance of their hands with nail art. One of the most fascinating forms is freehand. In this process the artist uses a pen or brush to create freehand designed nail art on the client. The reason that this particular form is so fascinating is due to how much artistic ability it requires along with a high level of concentration and the ability to work in a very small space.
The types of images that are created using free-hand nail art vary depending on the artist, their abilities, and what the client wants. There are very simple designs that can be free-handed as well as images that are much more complex. The more complexities that there are to the image, the more talent it will take from the artist to properly create it on the hand of the client.
There is also nail art that is manufactured and can be applied by a person in their own home or at a salon. This type comes in the form of stickers and stencils. The stickers can be applied both at the salon and in-home. They are fairly inexpensive and add a nice little flare to the tips of the fingers. The stencils, on the other hand, are usually used at the salon by artists who use an airbrush apply them. Both of these are great ways to add a little glam to your hands, but they don't take quite as much artistic ability as free-handing does.
Some of the other types of things that are used as nail art are small rhinestones and small gems, little pieces of jewelry, and many other things that could be rather unexpected. Many people use an adhesive to attach small gems to their fingernails in order to create a bit of a sparkle and attract attention to the fact that they have put some time into achieving a certain look on their fingernails. There are even some who decorate the tips of their fingers by piercing the nails and putting small rings through them. This is a rather unique way to use the fingernails to express creativity.
