Nail art is a great way to express yourself and have fun with your hands. The world of nail design may seem daunting at first, but the truth is that there's something for everyone. With so many nail art styles to choose from, it can be a challenge deciding which is best for you.
Having good-looking nails (hair, skin, face) makes us feel good about ourselves. It makes us look fresh, pretty, and neat. It does not make us happy, but it brings us a certain amount of joy. Some go for it to be more attractive or to impress.
“Nail trends are always changing because of TikTok. Lengths and shapes are all different, and it's more genderless; everyone can have art, extensions, and you can even have different lengths on the same hand,” she says. “You can play with confidence and without fear of judgment. Nail culture has more freedom now!”
The short answer is we have evolved to have nails because they help us pick things up (like food), pick things off (like bugs), and hold tightly onto things. Early humans who had these type of nails (instead of claws) tended to live long enough to have babies and pass on the fingernails gene to their kids.
Using a dab of nail glue, press each of the nails onto your natural fingernails, holding each down for 10 seconds to ensure they're tightly sealed to your real nails. Then, file the nails to your desired length and shape. Paint the press-on nails as you would your normal nails.
