What in your opinion are basic nail art tools and nail polish colors?

Paintbrushes: 1 thin one for detailing, a thicker one for filling in larger areas and an angled brush for cleans ups (with acetone)Tools: Cuticle nippers for a quick nip of problem hangnailsDotting tools, various sizes would be optionalOrange sticks are good for a quick polish clean up if you get some on your finger/cuticleThere are some great online articles/videos showing you how to make nail art tools out of everyday objects if you want to practice before buying most tools or just want to save some moneyAs for polish, my most used colours are black and white, I have to rebuy them every couple of months or so! Primary colours are good to have too (red, blue and yellow) Also if you are into nail art I would definitely recommend buying acrylic paint, 99% of my nail art is done with acrylic paint and it is SO much easier to work/practice with than nail polish!Hope this helps!

How do you shape your nails? I love your blog ♡

Thank you!I've been shaping them this way for so long they come naturally now but the best way I can explain is to file your nails square to begin with and mark the middle of the nail right on the end and slowly file the edges of your nail towards that middle mark, eventually you will develop the point ☺
