You may have noticed, either on your social media feed or on your favourite celebrity, that nail art has *blown up* over the last few years. Sure, simple, plain manicures have their place, but adding design elements can take them to new heights.
The problem is that going to a salon regularly and paying by the nail for artwork can be an expensive exercise. That’s okay, though, because there are stickers, gems, special effects and tools available that can easily be applied or used by you – no nail tech required! Here’s how to *easily* bring some fun to your fingertips!
Go graphic
Creating intricate graphics or images on your nails isn’t easy, especially on your natural set! Luckily, there are stickers that come in different designs to suit your aesthetic or to match a specific outfit. These should be applied after your colour and before you apply your top coat so that you seal in your look.

Go glam
If you want your manicure to sparkle, you should add some bling! This can be done by applying gold and silver stickers or, to really take it up a notch, by adding some stick-on gems. You can add one to your nails without colour and just a high-shine top coat for an on-trend minimalist look.

Try DIY
Stickers aren’t the only way to elevate your manicures. There are several other tools and special-effects items that are simple to use yourself. Some of these include nail foils for a chrome finish, stencils to use with your collection of colours and also tools that help you to create neat designs on your nails.
