Tip 3: Types of Nail Art
Nail art can be divided into 5 categories:
1. Nail Painting: Use special nail pigments to draw and illustrate on the nail surface.
2. Nail Drawing: Use nail polish and a dual-purpose nail art pen to create patterns on the nail surface.
3. Nail Spraying: Use a spray machine and special spray pigments to create gradient effects on the nail surface.
4. Nail Tips: Use nail-specific glue to apply full or half tips on the nail surface for a longer nail shape, though they have poor breathability.
5. Crystal Nails: Made with crystal powder and liquid to create beautiful nail shapes.
Tip 4: Choosing Nail Polish Colors Based on Skin Tone
1. For Dark Yellow Skin: Peach pink, pink, rose, apricot, and orange-brown are suitable; avoid purples.
2. For Reddish Skin: Light orange, light pink, light brown, and lavender are suitable; avoid overly red shades.
3. For Wheat-Colored Skin: Nude, apricot, and off-white work well, with bright colors creating a strong contrast.
4. For Fair Skin: Bright colors like pink, red, orange, and lavender work well; avoid overly dark shades.
Tip 5: Principles for Matching Nail Polish Colors

2. Mature women can choose pure white and silver for French manicures for an elegant look.
3. For important occasions, go for luxurious colors like gold, red, and purple.
4. Office workers or students should stick to stable, natural colors like nude pink and light pink.
