Decor for Nails: Adding a Splash of Rain
Rainy days may seem dull, but they can provide inspiration for your nail art. The calming sound of rain and the feel of cool droplets on your skin can be translated onto your nails using various techniques that create a fetching rain effect. And what better way to bring a little personality onto your nails than through decor that reflects the mood of the weather?
Using nail polish, different nail art brushes, and decals, you can make your nails come alive. To create the feeling of rain, start with painted nails in a pastel blue, gray or silver. You can also use a light-shimmer topcoat to give your nails the look of glistening raindrops.
Next, add rain droplets to your nails using a thinner brush or a toothpick. Dip the tool into white or black polish and place dots all over your nails. For an added touch, create tiny individual droplets above each raindrop by adding a smaller dot with a contrasting color. You can also use a fine-tipped brush to create lines coming down from the top of your nails, adding the look of streaming rain.
Another way to express the rain is to use a water decal. These decals come in a variety of shapes and designs, such as umbrellas, rain boots, rain hats, or clouds. Once you have chosen a decal, cut it to fit the size of your nail and dip it in water to activate the adhesive. Place the decal onto your nail and press it down using a clean paper towel or your finger. You can also use topcoat to seal the decal for lasting wear.
The rainy season should not only inspire you to snuggle, sip warm tea, and read a book. Consider giving your nails the same cozy treatment by adding decor that reflects the mood of the weather. There are a variety of designs that you can easily achieve and wear proudly. Once you're finished, you can go out and enjoy the cool rain with your beautiful and unique nails.
