Nail Art Designs

The perfect manicure is the final detail in overall style and fashion. Finding the right nail art design is very important when tying together your whole look. Digital nail art is a cutting edge technical development that uses a computer and printer to create a plethora of nail art designs. Using computers offers customers and designers an unlimited number of colors and designs to suit any style.

First, the nails are given a basic manicure. The nails are cleaned. Any dead skin on the cuticle is removed and the skin around the nail is treated as well. An all-important base coat is applied to the nail. The base coat is usually a very prominent white to help the nail art designs stand out.

Some customers prefer a natural look and white is simply too strong in contrast to the nail art designs. These more conservative clients may benefit by asking that the nail technician skip the base coat. The only purpose for the base coat in this procedure is to help the nail art designs stand out. Skipping this step will create a muted, more natural look.

Then the activation coat is not optional. This coat insures that the nail art designs dry quickly. The process would take hours if this step was not used. Drying takes a fraction of the time when the activation coat is applied. This step also keeps the designs from slathering away at the slightest touch.
One of the most exciting aspects of the digital nail art designs is that the customer has total control of which design she wants. The customer can bring in nearly any image. That image is scanned into the computer and printed by the nail technician. The customer’s hands are placed inside a cradle designed specifically for the machine. The nail art designs are printed directly on to the nails.

A major concern about this process is the possibility of a misprint right on the nails, especially if the client is a little jittery. This problem is addressed in a quite simple way. If the customer moves her fingers while in the machine, the computer immediately stops the printing the nail art designs immediately. The printer begins again after the fingers are realigned.

The printing process takes about ten seconds per nail and the entire procedure takes about fifteen minutes. This is remarkably fast as anyone who has her nails adorned with nail art designs can attest. The designs last as long as normal nail varnishes so customers can expect to enjoy their nail art designs for about two weeks.
