Tips for Brush Stroke Nail Designs
Plan ahead! Start with an outline or base color that complements your final design well—this will help prevent clumping when you're layering colors over one another, as well as create a bolder look overall!
Before you start painting your nails, practice your brush strokes on a piece of paper or a nail wheel. This will help you get a feel for the brush and the paint and refine your technique.
Use a small paintbrush and apply only one coat at a time.
Use a light hand when applying the polish and let it dry between coats so that you don't apply too much at once. If you do this correctly, your brush strokes will be thin enough that they look like real brush strokes instead of thick lines drawn by an inexperienced artist!
Paint your nails with a light color before applying the brush strokes. This will help the strokes look clean and sharp.
Brushstroke nail designs can be made with a variety of colors. You can try using pastels, neons, metallics, or even black and white to create a bold, graphic look.
Don't use too much polish on your brush, or it will take longer than necessary for each stroke and could lead to them looking thick.
Don't use too many colors. While you may be able to get away with using two or three different colors in a single design, more than three will make it hard to see the brush strokes.
You can use embellishments such as glitter, studs, or rhinestones to add some sparkle and dimension to your brushstroke nail designs.
