Nail art that is easier than it looks

Swirls, marble, aura, leopard spots, checkerboards and tiny flowers all look intricate but come down to a few simple tools: a dotting tool, a thin liner brush and a makeup sponge.

Start with one accent nail, then build up. Most designs look better slightly imperfect — hand-drawn lines are part of the charm.

  • Work on a sheer or nude base so small wobbles do not show.
  • Clean up with a small brush dipped in remover before top coat.
  • Seal every layer of art with top coat so it does not smudge.
