Gen-Z women like keeping their nails well-groomed and looking good, regularly following the latest manicure trends. Perhaps now is the time to learn how to do it yourself. So, you will not only save money and visits to the salon, but you will also unleash your creativity to achieve truly unique looks.

For a starter, you need to learn how to paint your nails like a professional, then you can practice some simple designs such as ombré or French manicure. As you progress, you are ready to dive into learning the art of manicure.

There are many videos and blogs by professionals on the Internet that provide tips and guidance for beginners as well as design ideas. However, if you really want to improve your technique, you can explore course options.

If you are a hobbyist, a short course will benefit you, so there is no need to enroll in a long-term, certified training course unless you want to use your skills in a professional setting.

Here are some easy designs you can practice at the beginning:

• Color waves – this design has a simple yet seductive effect. Apply a thin base coat using a light polish. Then, with a fine brush and color polish of choice, draw random wavy lines of varying thickness.

• Dots - choose a base polish, then a few contrasting colors and make a bunch of small dots or dots of different sizes. You can use a special tool to get them in a nice shape.

• French manicure - for the base, apply a pale pink nail polish or a colour from the body colour range. Using a fine brush, draw white thin lines at the top of the nails. This design is classic but always very elegant and suits any look. However, you can always experiment with colors, the technique remains the same.
