Nail Art Accessories: Going to the Next Level

Nail art has always been a woman's thing. Basically, taking care of our nails is for hygiene and grooming purposes only but now it has become a fashion statement very common to teenagers and young adult women as well. I wasn't aware of this nail trend, until I come across with my favorite YouTube celebrity, Michelle Phan, who wears a nice nail art on her latest vid. Nail art accessories ranges from simple studs, figures (name it!), cartoon characters and anything you can think of. That is how extensive the collection of nail art accessories today.


Soak-off gel nail polish is an alternative to traditional polishes. You can do it at home and follow the instruction guide that goes along with the UV-lamp, brush and soak-off polishes. Or you can go to your favorite salon and let them do the nail painting for you.
How it's done?
Soak-off gel nail polish is just like the traditional nail polish that you paint it on your nails. However, the brush it uses is very similar to the water color brush that you use in art classes. You just paint it on and then put under the UV-lamp to dry and you're done. You can top it off with another color or paint any other design or pattern over a base color.

Minx Nails is another type of nail art accessories otherwise known as nail stickers. These are, as well, available in many designs and patterns. In fact, in my introduction there in this article I was mainly referring to this nail art.

How it works?

Minx are cut out according to the shape of your nails. It is heated prior to sticking on. The better the adherence the longer the minx nail will stay. 

Advantages:

• Eco-friendly
• Easy to apply
• Non-messy
• Perfect chrome finish for metallic 

So, what's your pick? It's good that once in a while we treat out nails with fashion pampering but let us be reminded too that our health is still the top priority of all.
