Nail Designs DIY - I believe nail art or nail design is one obsession some women couldn’t resist. With my last visit in Japan, I noticed that nail art salons are all over the place especially in every subway station. As what I have observed, women seem to pop in and out from the nail art salon either before or after their rides.

Well, I really admire how the Japanese has created these fancy designs and art works on their nails that really look nice and splendid. It even prompted me to try out these cute little artworks on my fingers and be ready to hit the fashion circuit.

But these simply from practical nail arts to the flamboyance decorated nails have their own price of course. Nowadays, there are lots of nail art stickers or designs that you can do it for yourself and make similar impact. The result may not be as fancy like those in the nail art salon but the point here you can still express your personality by adding little details like basic shape and style.

One of my favorite is the French tip and adding some embellishments I can find from my drawer, I know its a little bit dippy but its fun though. That’s how you create a unique nail designs by experimenting different color combination and adding some gems.
