You know that feeling when you find the perfect pair of jeans that fit you like a glove and make you look amazing?
Well, what if we told you that you can have that same feeling on your nails? Yes, you read that right: denim nails are a thing, and they are awesome.
Denim nails are one of the hottest trends in nail art right now! Whether you want to match your denim outfit, or just add some flair to your look, denim nails are a fun and creative way to spice up your manicure.
What Are Denim Nails?
Denim nails are nail designs that mimic the look and texture of denim fabric. They usually feature shades of blue, from light to dark, and sometimes include details like stitching, rips, frays, patches, or prints.
Denim nails can be done with regular nail polish, gel, or acrylics, depending on your preference and skill level. You can also use nail art tools like brushes, dotting tools, sponges, or stickers to create different effects.
Why Are Denim Nails Trending?
Denim nails are trending because they are versatile, creative, and easier to do than, say, chrome nails. They can suit any nail shape and length, so they can be adapted to any occasion.
You can go for a simple and chic look with a solid blue color or a French tip, or you can spice it up with some patterns and embellishments. You can also mix and match different shades of blue to create a gradient or an ombre effect.
Denim nails are also great to transition from late Summer to early Fall.
How to Do Denim Nails at Home?
To do denim nails at home, youโll need some basic stuff like nail polish remover, cotton pads, base coat, top coat, and of course, blue nail polish. Youโll also need some nail art tools like brushes, dotting tools, sponges, or stickers, depending on the design you want to create. Here are some steps to follow:
- First, remove any old polish from your nails and clean them with nail polish remover.
- Next, apply a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails and prevent staining.
- Then, pick a shade of blue nail polish that you like and apply two coats of it on your nails. Let it dry completely.
- Now, if you want to create a faded or marbled effect, use the dry brush technique. To do this, wipe off most of the polish from your brush and lightly drag it over your nails. You can use a lighter shade of blue or a different color to create contrast. You can also use a dotting tool or a brush to draw some white lines or dots to create stitching or rips.
- After that, if you want to add some patches or prints, use a sticker or a stencil to apply a different color or pattern over the blue base. You can also use a brush or a dotting tool to draw some flowers or stars.
- Finally, apply a layer of top coat to seal in your design and add some shine.
