Nail art is any kind of creative decoration that’s applied to your nails using nail polish, glitters, stones, and/or stickers. It is intended to enhance the overall look of your nails and is usually applied after a manicure or pedicure.

Nail art is decorative design applied to fingernails or toenails as a form of creative expression. Designs range from simple patterns and colour blocking to intricate hand-painted illustrations, 3D embellishments, foils, stamping, chrome powder, and gel extensions with sculpted art.

If you’re a fan of adopting your own unique look, you may want to consider nail art. It’s a great way of reflecting your personality in a colourful, fashion-forward way.

Nail art longevity depends on the base: regular polish nail art lasts 5-7 days; gel nail art lasts 2-3 weeks; acrylic or hard gel extensions with nail art can last 3-4 weeks. Avoid harsh chemicals and wear gloves for cleaning to extend results.

To help preserve the look of your nail art, always ensure your fingers are fully dry after washing your hands and use a hand and nail cream to keep your skin and nails moisturised. You should also avoid exposure to high heat and harsh chemicals (like turpentine), which will damage your nails, avoid acetone (which can remove the polish and nail art), and wear gloves when you do housework. If you bite your nails, try hard not to when you’ve had nail art applied – it may cause your nail art, manicure, and nails to crack and break.
