Of course, you can do your Easter nail art at home and isn't as difficult as it may seem. While creating freehand designs takes more focus, you could also use stencils, airbrushes, sponges, stamps and nail stickers to elevate your designs. For example, when creating a french tip, you could use a stencil to create a crisp white line or you could use an airbrush or sponge for an ombre effect.
While these steps would have to be done before you apply a top coat, adding nail stickers can be done before or after your manicure, by simply sticking them to your nail and applying another clear coat on top. Generally, nail art brushes, dotting tools and sponges are your best friend if you're planning to work on your nail art, says nail artist and manicurist, Mariana Augusto. "They don't have to be anything fancy as you can get these online for affordable prices and they honestly really help as you can play around with different techniques in order to achieve a variety of nail art styles," she says.
If you're opting for a solid colour or base for your Easter nail design, Mariana, who paints countless nails on a daily basis, says the key to a perfect finish is to take your time and for a seamless look, be sure to apply two to three coats of colour: "Make sure you are applying thin layers of the product to make sure they dry or cure fully in between, some colours definitely have more coverage than others which could mean you might need to go in with a third coat of colour to get that seamless look.
"Having a clean up brush will also help clean up around the nails or any areas that you might have accidentally painted!" Mariana adds. "Painting your non-dominant hand is definitely a challenge but practice makes perfect!"
