Are your nails ready to party?
Prepping the nails the right way is the first step towards getting the nails done. Dipika Parihar, Founder, The Nail Art School recommends, “Getting your nails party-ready is easier than you think! First, give the nails a good clean and shape. Remove any old polish and push back those cuticles. Next, use a nail file to shape the nails to perfection. Don’t forget to apply a nourishing cuticle oil and a strengthening basecoat to help protect the nails. Finally, choose a polish that matches the party vibe and finish with a top coat to seal it all in!”
With preparations in full swing for the party season, it must be a struggle to understand what colours to opt for. Bold and bright colours are your pick for the party season. “Metallic colours like gold, silver, and rose gold are also super popular, adding a touch of luxury and glamour to any party outfit. For a more subtle look, why not try a deep berry shade or a rich plum colour?” adds Dipika. Ensure that the colours chosen complement the entire look and outfit and the skin tone. This is important.
From glitter ombre, chrome finishes, and bold geometric patterns, this party season is all about making a statement with the nails! These are some of the trendy designs to slay this party season. Dipika says, “Negative space nail art is also super popular, featuring delicate designs and minimalist chic. And for a more festive look, why not try a candy cane stripe or a snowflake design? Whatever you choose, make sure it complements the party outfit and adds a touch of glamour to the overall look.”
Now that the colours and designs are in place, it is important to keep the nails in shape during the party season. Let’s face it, the party season can be tough on our nails! Dipika gives the following tips:
- Moisturize the cuticles and nail beds regularly.
- Apply a strengthening top coat to help protect the nails from chipping and breaking.
- Try to limit the use of nail polish removers which can dry out your nails and cause them to become brittle
With a little love and care, the nails will stay party-perfect all season long!
