Tips for Color-Blocking Nail Designs
Don't use too much polish at once - adding more layers is better than using too much in one go.
Use complementary colors that blend well. Select shades close enough to each other in hue to create a cohesive design but far enough apart in tone to make them stand out.
If you want to keep all your color blocks square or rectangular, it can be boring—so mix up the size of your shapes too!
Keep it simple! Too many colors on one nail can make it look like you're trying too hard; choose two or three colors max per nail unless there's a really good reason not to (like if they're all very different shades). And remember: less is more!
Use an angled brush when applying the polish—it will make it easier to get into those tight corners on your cuticles! To create clean, sharp lines and shapes, you can use tape or stencils to block off areas of the nail and create precise geometric designs.
Let each layer of polish dry completely before moving on to the next. Rushing the drying process can result in smudging and uneven lines.
Consider the shape of your nail bed when choosing your nail designs. If yours are rounder or squarer than average, consider using large shapes (like squares) on top while keeping the bottom small and rounded. If they're longer than normal (or shorter), make sure both sides of the nail have equal amounts of space available for decoration—this will help prevent any awkward gaps between decorations that might otherwise occur due to differences in length between different fingers.
