Before you get to the creative part, you must first prepare to do
your own nail designs. In other words, it is best to give yourself a
quick manicure or pedicure before applying nail art. Beautiful bare feet
look great in a nice pair of shoes, but not if you have dry, ashy feet.
You want your feet to appear radiant by using the right foot care
products on them.

If you already take care of your hands and feet,
you may only need to apply lotion before doing your nails. At a
minimum, wash your hands or feet and apply lotion. After applying a
moisturizing lotion, take a towel and rub it well across each nail. Also
use the towel on your hands. This will remove any oils on your nails so
the nail art stays in place when you apply it later. Next, you should
trim your nails into the shape you want them for your nail designs.
Usually, people follow the natural shape of their nails whether that is
square, round, or triangular. A nail file can shape and trim your nails
easily without removing too much of your nail.

Follow up by
applying clear nail polish to all of your nails. This protects the nail
and helps prevent nail polish from staining your nails. Choose a color
of nail polish and apply it on top of your clear coat. Now you are ready
to create nail art magic! Be creative and design your nails. Another
article in this series will show you step by step how to do your own
nail designs. If you are anxious to get started, you can dip a toothpick
in nail polish and make flower nail designs. If you are using nail
decals, pick one off carefully with a pair of tweezers and place it on
to your nail. Finish with a thin layer of clear nail polish to keep it
all in place and you are done!
