1. Tri Color Cliffs Nail Art

This nail art is super simple and is the perfect choice for someone who is just starting out. You don’t need any extra tools apart from your nail polishes for this one. This tutorial will be described using certain colors, but it’s entirely up to you! Play around with your choice of colors!

What You Will Need
Pastel blue nail polish
White nail polish
Pastel coral nail polish
How To Apply?
On clean nails, apply a base coat to protect your nails.
Use the pastel blue color to create a vertical stripe on one corner, while leaving some space empty near the cuticle.
Now paint from the center, a little lower.
Create the last stripe, again lower. You should have a pattern that has 3 levels.
Repeat the steps but starting from below the blue.
Do the same with the pastel coral.
Seal this with a top coat and you are done!

2. Bow Nail Art Tutorial
Now that you’ve gotten the hang of doing nail art with just the nail polish, it’s time to start adding tools to the pretty picture! This is also an incredibly simple nail art that you can easily do! It’s very casual so it can be worn at all times.

What You Will Need
Sky blue nail polish
White nail polish
Black nail polish
Nail striper or a very fine paint brush
How To Apply?
Start by painting all of your nails with the sky blue shade as your base color.
Paint over it with white in a heart shape as shown in the image.
Using a nail striper or a paintbrush dipped in black nail polish, follow the shape where the white and blue meet and create two loops at the center so that it looks like a bow.
Seal it with a top coat, and you are good to go!

3. Stripes and Lines Nail Art Tutorial
These fun geometric patterns add a little something to your nails and are super easy to do. You need a little patience for this one, but the outcome is worth it!

What You Will Need
Pastel blue nail polish
Brown nail polish
Tape
How To Apply?
Start with the pastel blue as your base.
Once it is fully dry, you can begin the placement of your tape.
On the pinky, place it diagonally.
Cut up thin stripes for the ring finger.
Create a ‘V’ shape from the tape for the middle finger.
Create very sharp angled triangles with the tape and place them on the index finger as shown.
Similarly, create a design for the thumb finger.
Now, paint over the tape stencils you just created with brown nail polish.
Wait for a minute or so for the nail polish to dry a little and then carefully remove the tape.
Voila! You have yourself a fun manicure!
