How To Put Pictures On Nails

Mind, I totally empathize that not everyone is amazing at blast art (trust me, I endeavor information technology every week) and that sometimes no matter how hard you try to pigment Daria's face on your fingertips, information technology'll still end up looking similar Animate being Jesus. (Unless, of course, you lot really Want your nails to await like Beast Jesus because that tin most certainly happen.) And yous know what? I'm here for yous. Luckily, nail transfer decals are ALL the rage these days for united states not-then-artistically-inclined folk. The basic idea behind it is this: Anything in print course can be transferred onto your tips with the right method. So basically, if yous've always flipped through a mag and thought, "I want that exact pattern/person/cat on my nails," and then you're good to go. Be forewarned—at that place are a TON of different means to approach this method of nail fine art, but I'grand just skimming the surface with the superlative three techniques I've found most useful. Permit'south get to it!

THE RUB-ON TECHNIQUE

This showtime method came straight from Rachel'south weblog Transient Expression (aye, those are her cat nails above!) where she found pictures of cute kittens on the internet, printed them out on rub-on paper, and practical them in one swift step. This is perfect if you're really skillful at Photoshop or want to create your own custom designs. The end result is pretty freakin' awesome, but it's non as instant as this adjacent method.

THE H2o SOAK TECHNIQUE

OK, when I showtime watched this tutorial it basically blew my MIND. The premise is this: You find a pattern you lot like in magazine, cut it out, paint ane side with clear nail polish, soak it water, put in on your nail, trim the edges, and you're washed. I know, I know, this doesn't even seem humanly possible, but I've watched it with MY Own Eyes, and information technology's a existent thing that is really happening, people. Prepare to be amazed.

THE Pare-AND-Press TECHNIQUE

If you lot want the look of a blast fine art design instead of a photo but don't accept the skills/patience/non-ascendant paw ability to exercise so, this is probably the best method for you. It'southward a simple as taking a slice of plastic (like a Ziploc handbag) and painting ANY nail pattern design on it that you wish with nail polish. Let that bad boy dry out overnight, peel it off, fit information technology to your nail, and you lot've got some killer digits, yo. The best role is that you can take credit for the design! *high-fives entire globe*
