nail tape

Similar to nail stencils, nail tapes can be used to create straight lines or patterns on your nails. They're especially useful for designs like geometric patterns or French tips.

Glitter, rhinestones and embellishments

For the ultimate bling factor, glitter, rhinestones, and other embellishments can be used on your nails. They're a great way to spice up your nail design and add a personal touch.

Nail art stamp

With a stamping kit, you can effortlessly apply intricate designs to your nails. You'll need special stamping polishes and a stamping plate with your desired pattern.

How to use nail art tools correctly

Now that you know the most important tools, let's talk about how to use them correctly:

  • Dotting tools : Carefully dip the metal ball into the nail polish and then place a dot on your nail. Depending on the desired size, you can dip the tool deeper or deeper.
  • Brushes : Clean your brushes thoroughly before use to prevent any paint residue from affecting the quality of your design. Practice on a piece of paper first before painting directly on your nails.
  • Nail stencils : Apply the stencil to the prepared nail and then apply nail polish over it. Wait a few seconds and then carefully peel off the stencil before the polish is completely dry.
  • Nail Art Stamp : Apply the stamping polish to the desired pattern on the stamping plate and remove excess ink with a scraper card. Press the stamper onto the pattern and then transfer it to your nail.
  • Nail tape : Cut the nail tape to the desired length and shape and carefully apply it to the nail. Make sure it adheres well to prevent nail polish from running underneath. Apply nail polish over the tape and carefully remove it before the polish is completely dry.
  • Cuticle remover : Apply a small amount of cuticle remover to the cuticles and let it sit for a few seconds. Then, use a cuticle pusher or rosewood stick to gently remove the cuticles from the nails. Be careful not to push back the cuticles too hard or too deeply to avoid injury.

Last but not least, a high-quality base and top coat, as well as a good selection of nail polish colors, are essential for achieving professional and long-lasting results . With these tools in your collection, you'll be ready to bring all your nail art dreams to life.
