Use A Wedge Sponge
Wedge sponges are a type of nail art sponge that can be used to create an impressive range of nail art designs. They are available in different colors and shapes, and usually, they are made from a mixture of foam and latex. Wedge sponges can be used to achieve many different effects, from simple designs like dots to complex ones like flowers or leaves. A wedge sponge is an inexpensive, easy way to create professional nail art at home.
What you need
- A pack of wedge sponges
- A base color nail polish. I used ZOYA – Harajuku which is a gorgeous purple with a hint of pink.
- Topcoat nail polish. I used OPI – Nail Envy which strengthens the nails and helps the color last longer.
- Paintbrushes. Any cheap ones will do, but make sure they are clean if you are reusing them.

Use Glitter Topcoat
A glitter topcoat is a very effective way to give your nails a fun and unique look. Unlike other nail art techniques, glitter topcoats can be easily used by anyone to create beautiful designs on their nails. It adds just enough sparkle to any design and dries quickly. Glitter topcoat can be used with all your favorite nail polishes, including glitter polishes.
To use a glitter topcoat, simply apply a base coat of your choice over clean nails. Let dry completely. Then apply two or three coats of your favorite nail polish color. Let dry completely in between each coat. When the last coat is dry, shake up the bottle of glitter topcoat and apply one or two thin coats over the nail color to get the glitter nails.

Sugar With Loose Glitter
It’s no secret that I have been a huge fan of nail art for years, and the latest trend in nail art is the addition of loose glitter. Glitter is one of the easiest ways to add a little extra bling and sparkle to your nails, but not all glitters are created equal.
The best loose glitter nails are made with a special kind of glitter called “loose glitter”. It has tiny holes in it so that it disperses onto your nails easily without needing a binder. You can make this at home by adding a drop of nail glue to your nails and spreading loose nail glitter.

Create Mix Texture
Mix texture is widely used in nail arts, either to create simple designs or to enhance the beauty of an existing design. Texture makes your nail art look more professional and it will definitely take your manicure to the next level. Take your creativity to next level and think about various different ideas to make your nails look beautiful.
When it comes to mixed texture, then you need to consider different ideas for different nails. While thinking of different ideas, you also need to consider that these designs are matching with each other. While there is something for everyone, be it a simple pattern or an intricate design, you need to have the basic idea of how to paint nails before you go ahead and give it a try.
Texture can be applied with a number of materials, including nail polish, nail art stickers, and even rhinestones. You can also take ideas from different sources like magazines, the internet, and your surroundings. Collect these ideas and modify them to create unique designs.
Conclusion
A nail art design can be easily ruined by a texture that does not fit in with the theme of the design. There are times when some beautiful nail art ideas go wrong because they include a texture that doesn’t match well with the color scheme of the design or with the theme of the design.
If a texture doesn’t match, then it will ruin your efforts. Right texture can give your nails a completely different look, you can also use these textures in other crafts. Textured nails are a great way to spice up an otherwise plain manicure. You can use textures in nail art or even on your natural nails.
