 10 Nail Art Tricks
Fancy tips are all the rage right now and fingernails2go.com has collected some simple ideas to dress yours up at home. No need to hit the salon!
  1. If you thought  cellophane tape was just for wrapping presents think again!  Paint your nails with a base color and let it dry.  Cut cellophane tape into fine strips and position on your nails as shown below or in whatever design you like.  Fill in the gaps with a contrasting color. Once dry, remove the tape, apply a top coat and you’ll have a trendy new look.

Mix your favorite colors together on a spoon and simply dip your nails in the beautiful mess. Clean up the edges with nail polish remover on a cotton swap and you are ready to go.

Apply a white first coat and allow it to dry.  Dip a small make-up brush in a bright color, splatter the polish over your nails and leave them to dry, repeat with a different shade until you are happy with the look.  Don’t forget to clean up your fingers as this look will make a mess!
