The latest fad in nail fashion in India,
which has caught the women’s fancy, is acrylic nails and acrylic nail
designs. Acrylic nails are artificial nails that are created as per your
size (or one can use readymade ones) and pasted on top of the real nails
with a special adhesive. And acrylic nail designs are hot and groovy.
The cool designs, new colour shades, fads like nail piercing etc. have
rendered a brand new dimension to acrylic nail designs.

So why is it that acrylic nails in India are in vogue.
It’s not only about the style and your personality, but it’s
about your self-esteem as well.
For one, women whose nails are
short or brittle use them for beautifying them.
Secondly, they are used because of their
utility as a nail art canvases. By its very nature, acrylic nails are
the best type to experiment and any kind of designs on. There is no
limit to creativity and imagination since it’s easy to make the designs
on acrylic.
Acrylic nail designs involve a creative process wherein the nails are
coloured or decorated in several styles be it simple prints, fancy
abstracts etc. can you imagine a dried flower being stuck to
your nail with leaves painted around it? |
Or a sticker smiley and diamantes can
make your nails look hi-fi? You can get even a water based nail decal
and use gems as well for decorative purpose. Air-brushing techniques in
nail painting can render a glorified and smooth look to your nails as
well.
There are several styles one can adopt such as mix and match of
different nail shades, drawing a geometric pattern or floral designs
with a different paint over a coat, use 3D elements etc.
Nail tattooing and nail piercing is yet another trend that is the hot
favourite amongst girls now. One can get a tiny hole punched in the nail
(preferably by an expert nail technician) and hang a small teddy bear or
even a gold ring from it! Readymade nail tattoo designs are also
available in market. One can select the design of their choice and
simple stick it on the nails. You can also use rhinestones,
semi-precious stones, bindis etc. to create a glittery look.
The best part of acrylic nail designs is that they can be changed as
often as required and as per the occasion. If you have a wedding
function to attend to, the glittery look with rhinestones or using
jewellery in nail piercing will look fantastic. For a party, adopt a
glamour and glitzy look with airbrush painting to nail tattooing that
goes with your dress. Use a classy look with simple glitter stones. Even
a wacky theme like ‘jungle safari’ or ‘space and stars’ gives scope for
immense creativity. Be it college events, holidays, traditional
functions like Diwali party etc, acrylic nail designs are a great
fashion accessory.
One can play with the designs, colours, jewellery etc. to get the
customized look that matches the outfit or goes with the occasion. It
all depends upon your attitude.
