Nailart refers to the art of decorating one’s nails using different types of materials available in the market for the same. Nowadays, technology has made it possible to display the designs of one’s choice on the nails. In the past, you could do a manicure or pedicure and apply multiple coats of nail polish. Nails have now become a huge canvas on which one can express one’s creativity in any possible way, among the many options available.
There are four things which people use in their nailart which are:
- Nail Paints
- Acrylic Nails
- Embellishments
- Piercing
- Stamping
People use these four things differently and make their nails hand out. We can say this is an art that cannot be done by everyone.
Digital Nail Printing:
Digital nail printing is the latest innovation in nailart. It makes it possible to precisely reproduce on the nails any type of image that the client wants. As part of this process, the design is scanned into a computer. After the activation layer is applied to the nail, the customer has to put his hand in the machine, the design will be printed on the customer’s nail exactly like the original.
Every season has different trends in terms of occasions and seasons. People follow these trends and design their nails accordingly. Like during winters, people use bold and bright colors while in winters people use soft colors. This also differs during seasons like Christmas and Valentine’s people use different shades of Red and during Halloween, people use Black and Orange. So this totally depends on occasions and seasons.
