Types of Nail Art

Nail art is a technique involving the decoration of nails with paint, polish, or other materials. It is used to create designs ranging from simple to elaborate.

Traditional Nail Polish

The most common type of nail art involves the use of traditional nail polish. This method is easy to apply and remove, and relatively inexpensive, although it lacks the durability of some other forms and can chip easily.

Acrylic Nails

Acrylic nails are created using a mixture of acrylic powder and liquid monomer. They provide a more durable and complex design option compared to traditional nail polish, but are also more difficult to apply and remove, and can be more expensive.

Gel Nails

Gel nails are created using a gel that is cured under UV light. They are similarly durable and complex in design to acrylic nails, but can be more costly. Application and removal processes are similar to those for acrylic nails.

Nail Wraps

Nail wraps are pre-made designs applied to the nails. They provide a quick and easy method of nail art creation and come in a variety of designs. They can be applied over traditional nail polish or acrylic nails.

Other Types

Other types of nail art include stamping, stenciling, and hand painting. Stamping involves the use of a special tool to transfer a design from a stamp to the nail. Stenciling uses a pre-cut stencil to create a design on the nail. Hand painting utilizes brushes or other tools to create a design on the nail.

In popular culture

 

Nail art

The nail-care industry has been expanding ever since the invention of modern nail polish. In 2012, the United States witnessed surging popularity of nail art  in the same year, a short nail-art documentary was released: "NAILgasm". The film explored the growing nail art trend, from women worldwide to high-fashion runways. Mostly women. Still, also men commonly use YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest to learn how to do the newest and most interesting designs at home. As nail art has evolved, nail artists use acrylic powder to match clients' skin tones when doing specific techniques (Baran, 168).

Social relevance

In some cultures, nail art can be tied to the concept of femininity and the sense of belonging in a group of females.

Nail art is also a way to create its own identity through fashion, using colors and shapes as a disruption of childhood and entering the female teen/adult world, also leaving the influence of their parents to create their selves.
The nail is also part of the puzzle of mounting tender identity; the nails for teenagers and adult women represents a piece of the symbol of what is a woman and how the woman should present herself. Though women use nail art to express their womanliness, the different type typfine a woman with particular personality, spersonalitiesg French manicure (delicate) or nails (aggressive).

Media

Nail art's popularity in media started with the printed press with women's magazines. It had an essential rollout as not a mainstream fashion trend before the 2000s. After the internet age and the everyday use of social media trend became prominent subculture among women. Social media made it easier to connect to the mass audience, and with this, people started to share their designs as a way of their creativity and use the nail as their blank canvas. YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter are the major platforms which provide many new ideas and designs for the subculture. However, according to a study, Pinterest is the most critical platform for recent beauty trends.

Techniques and tools

Manicurists start with the same techniques as for the manicure or pedicure:

·         Acrylics: a chemical mixture of monomer liquid and polymer powder that can be directly applied on the nails or on artificial nails, also called nail extensions or enhancements.

·         Nail gel: a chemical combination similar to acrylics, also known as shellac nails. Manicurist applies several layers on the fingernails or/and toenails and lets it cure under a UV or LED light. When the gel is fixed, it hardens the nails. The gel is also typical in a polish form known as gel polish, and, like other forms of gel, it also requires a UV or LED light to cure. The difference between acrylic and gel is that acrylic dries naturally, but gel needs UV light to cure. Similarly, where regular nail polish will dry naturally, the gel polish will remain tacky until cured by a UV light.

·         Nail polish/nail varnish: a lacquer applied to finger and toenails to protect or as a base color. Nail manicurists also use a base coat to protect and strengthen nails and prevent natural nails from yellowing or staining.

Several options are available for decorating nails

·         Glitters

·         Nail art pens

·         Piercing

·         Stamping

·         Water Decals

·         Water marbling

·         Adding accessories

o    Studs, rhinestones, miniature plastic bowties, beads, dried flowers, and aluminum foil

·         Acrylic powder for 3D art. The 3D acrylic nail art powder is a polymer powder used with a monomer liquid to create designs.

To decorate the nails, manicurists use several tools, such as:

·         Nail dotters, also known as "dotting tools."

·         Nail art brushes

·         Stationery tape/ stickers

·         Thin, colored striping tape

·         Sponges (for gradient effects)

Do-it-yourself (DIY) is a new concept of doing nail art without the aid of experts or professionals. One way to do a DIY design is by using home tools such as toothpicks, ear buds, cellophane tape, etc., or toolsets with dotted tools, brushes, and nail-art pens.
