Essential nail art supplies

 
Now, this is very naive of me to tell you that you require some specific tools to get started with naail art. Instead of investing in an expensive nail tool kit at the very level, I would recommend you to go only for the essential tools that you would require and could easily use as a beginner. Here are some you can go for-

 

1. Base-coat and Topcoat

While building a house we always take into account the foundation, in the same way, a base coat prevents your nail from staining whenever you apply a darker shade over them. You can skip this if you are going with a lighter shade.
You can go for Konad Regular Polish- R61 Konad and O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat.
 
Topcoat is an additional layer that you apply when you are finished with the nail polish. It gives a smooth finish to your nail and restrains them from chipping.
Seche Vite Dry Fast top Coat and O.P.I Brilliant High shine Top Coat will work perfectly for you.

 

 

 

2. Dotting Tool

 

 As the name suggests, this tool can be used for creating dots and circles of various sizes. The patterns created out of dots never go off-fashion.
Pro tip - If you don’t feel like spending on a dotting tool kit, the next best alternative is toothpicks.

 

3. Nail Polish

 

This is a super important item to have to get started with nail art. How can you prepare fries without potatoes? Initially, you should go with some basic shades like nudes, light and hot pink, classic red, pastel shades, and the shades you prefer the most.
There are so many reputed brands with affordable plus A1 quality Nail polish. Colorbar, lakme, Faces, O.P.I and Revlon to name some.

 

4. Stripping Tapes

 

 It's kind of a decorating item that can also be used to draw sleek lines. It comes in several colors and textures.

 

 

5. Stamping kit

 

 It is one of the easiest ways to get nail art. It basically consists of Stamper, Stamping plate, Scraper, and stamping polish. The Stamping plate comprises several designs and patterns that are printed over our nails with the help of a stamper. Before going for a stamping kit there are certain things that have to be kept in mind like the stamper needs to be durable and at the same time the stamping plate should be deep enough so as to easily get the pattern on the stamper. With that, it also should be easy to clean.
MCW Nail Art Stamping Kit, Biutee Nail Stamping set, Ejiubas Nail Art Stamping kit are good to go with.

 

 

6. Scissor and Tweezer

Tweezers are basically used to pick up stones and beads and then place them over your nails. It's one of the cleanest ways to decorate your nail.Scissors use may arise while you are striping tapes. So keep it handy.

 

 

 

 7. Studs, Stones, Stickers, and Loose Glitters

 

 You can use any of these accessories over the applied nail polish to make them more appealing.

 

 

 

8. Nail Paint Remover

 

After getting started with nail art, I am damn sure that you’ll get hooked to it and will do nail art frequently. Therefore you should invest in a good quality remover as the cheap removers will leave your nails super dry.
You can go for Sally Hansen Strengthening Nail polish remover, O.P.I Expert Touch Lacquer Remover, and L.A Color Nail Polish Remover Pads. These will not only remove the nail polish but will also moisturize your nails.
