Acrylic Nail Art - Hot To Paint Your Nails

I had no idea I would enjoy painting my nails with my regular acrylic paints! It is true a lot of my nail blogging friends used to do spectacular art work on their nails while I used to wonder how could they do that with nail paint.

And then one of them told me that they used regular acrylic paints with regular painting brushes. When I tried it out I was simply super happy - trust me it is so much easier to do patters on your nails with acrylics and you can mix and match colors to create your own color palette.

 I used Camlin acrylic paints with a 0 numbered brush from Camlin. It just bought back old memories of painting. I do not get much time to do regular paintings any more so the excitement in my heart was just something words cannot describe!

I hope you liked my first attempt - a simple patter that I created. Next time I'll do it when I have more time on my hands and try to do a more complex design.

Now if you want to do something like this or simply want to try it out all you need is

1. A base coat - this is important so that the acrylics don't stain your nails (You can replace this with a nail polish as well if you want a colored base)

2. Any acrylic paints - the ones easily available in craft shops

3. A painting brush (try number 0 or 2)

4. A good top coat to prevent the design from getting washed off.

Once you cover your nails with the base coat let your imagination run wild, create any pattern on your nails with the acrylics and once they dry completely cover with a good top coat.

And if you make a mistake in your design you can quickly wash off the pattern and start over, simple and easy!

Hope you liked this post and if you haven't tried it already I hope you get inspired to give it one shot - trust me the possibilities are endless when you start playing with acrylics.
