What Are The Nail Tools a Beginner Would Need When It Comes To Nail Art?
Unless you are a professional, you can easily make do with some simple nail shaping tool to create your relatively simple nail craft. What you need is basic nail art kit that will consist of just the very essential tools and supplies to get you started.
Nail Polishes
Of course you can’t do nail designs without nail polishes. The quality of your nail polish will determine how long your nail patterns lasts without chipping or fading and how clean and vibrant it looks. One great way to get a lot of different colours without shelling out too much money is to get one of those mini sample pack kits. These come with a lot of different colours in mini sample size bottles.
Top Coat
Top coat is a very very important component when it comes to nail art. A clear top coat is what helps seal your art, forming a protective layer to keep it intact. So be sure to invest in a good quality top coat.
Strip Tape
One of the easiest nail art that you can try out as a beginner is to use nail strips to create patterns. From stripes to checks to zig zag patterns, there are so many different possibilities that you can try out. And yes, some people just use scotch tape or duct tape instead of nail art strips, but honestly? strips are just so much easier to use and you won’t have to worry about the tape pulling your nail polish and ruining your effort.

Brushes and Dotters
If you are good with your hands, you can invest in a nail brush kit for art work. The nail art kit comes with brushes of varying thickness that you can use to draw your own unique designs. A nail dotting tool is used to create polka dot type design with ease. Just like a brush, a dotter comes in different sizes.
Stamping Kit
While not essential, a stamping kit does allow you to create some intricate designs that you otherwise would not have been able to do. A stamping kit comes with a couple of image plates, a scraper and a rubber stamper. The idea is to transfer the image from the image plat onto the rubber stamp and then onto your nails. It is pretty simple to use and is a great way for beginners to flaunt some cool designs.
Nail crafting is quite an addictive hobby. Start of small and then if you are good at it and would like to move on to the next level, you can consider investing in some of the more complicated/expensive tools and supplies that professionals use to create their master pieces. But as far as beginners are concerned, the above mentioned items are more than enough for them to start trying out.
