Having beautiful, decked out nails are a great way to express your creative side and show off what you love. And you can do so much these days with your nails, from finding beautiful polishes to luminescent top coats, creating geometric designs, and so much more. Here are four easy steps to having artistically gorgeous nails (and one suggestion if you want to forgo the creative process). —Jennifer Cox
Start with BKIND nail polish (starting at $12). They have tons of beautifully pigmented colours to choose from, which go on easily and are long lasting. Their polishes are cruelty-free, plant-based, and 21-free, meaning they are free of 21 toxic ingredients that are generally found in nail polish. Now you can enjoy beautiful, coloured nails while respecting animals, the environment, and yourself.
Next you can add a powder to give your nails some shimmer. We love the Flamingo – Holographic nail powder ($35) from Sistaco Mineral Bond. Their 16-free formula also means you will not be damaging your nails in the process as it doesn’t contain 16 of the harmful chemicals found in most nail products.
Stickers or decals are an easy way to add some decorative edge to your nail design. Try the ones from Mat&Max – their Ardell lace and gem nail decals ($11) create an awesome 3D effect and can elevate both traditional and modern nails.
Finally, you want a good top coat to protect all that beautiful work, and the one from Static Nails ($16) is a great choice. It locks in colour, amplifies with high-gloss shine, and helps strengthen your nails. The lacquers last up to 10 days without chipping.
If you don’t want to be the artist, Lily and Fox can. Lily and Fox’s nail wraps ($4) come with 16 wraps in each set, and they are available in different colours and designs, so you can get a complete manicure with one use! They last up to two full weeks and can be applied quickly and easily.
