Japanese Nail Art
Japanese Nails Designs
The Japanese are a quirky group of people. They love to insert fun in their lives. Same goes to their nails. Rather than having their nails in the usual one-toned colour most Western women don, they make splashes of color on their nails to make it stand out and look exciting.
Japanese nail art has been fast becoming a trend in the West. Not only they are eye-catching but also they are uniquely-designed that no two hands will be the same. Women in Japan would not only use different colors but would also put rhinestones, decals and others in detailed designs. Many represent traditional themes common to the country. Just to be different, women love putting these on.
Many women have nail jewellery. It is putting the art of nail colouring one notch higher. Art jewellery may not use real jewels per se but it will use something that would imitate the shine of real gold or diamond. They would add rhinestones and even hanging chains on their nails. It is glued to the nails. The nails can be individually designed with the same pattern as with the other nails or it can be part of the whole pattern in one hand.
3D Nails
Now that 3D has been the hype, Japanese nail art has not hesitated to jump in and join the band wagon. You can now have 3D nail art! Designs vary too- from flowers to anime characters diminutively and painstakingly done on each nails. Because of intricacy, 3D nail art is fast becoming a trend.
Another style in nail art is the addition of water bubbles on nails. This creates a rather multi-dimensional take on already fabulous nails. Water bubbles on nails are not exactly bubbles of water but there are small drops of acrylic paint with water in it. What they do is to make acrylic bubble and insert bubble inside to create the illusion of having water bubbles on one’s fingers. These are not actually applied directly to the nail but rather to a special nail, which is then glued to the natural nails.
