Cute nail trend: Bow nails are trending according to Pinterest

If you want to give beautifully wrapped gifts at Christmas time with bow nails that are no less spaced out, you don’t have to put in a lot of effort. First, as with any manicure, the nails are thoroughly cleaned, cut and shaped with a nail file. A base coat is then applied to protect the nails and give the colored polish better hold.

Once the base coat has dried, the colored varnish is applied. This paint also needs to be dried thoroughly before moving on to the bow design. The delicate loops, which of course have a different color than the nail polish, are best applied with a very fine brush or a special dotting tool. Such a dotting tool is suitable for the finest nail art paintings and is also the perfect tool when a new nail trend is announced just in time for spring. Regardless of whether the lacquer for the loops was applied with a conventional brush or a dotting tool: Lastly comes the top coat, which ensures that our work of art lasts a really long time.

We still have an important tip ready. Before decorating your first fingernail with a bow, you should first practice extensively on paper.

Ideal for Christmas: These looks are particularly elegant

Bow Nails embrace a variety of art styles, we have a few inspirations.

How about classic French nails? The transition from the white tip of the nail to the nude-colored tone of the rest of the fingernail is emphasized by a thin bow.

Black bows may be classic, but delicate bows in burgundy red are even more autumnal and Christmassy.

Our bow nails can also be made playful, simply by choosing different colors.

Or we simply decorate the nails of both hands in different colors.

Of course, bows can be conjured up with simple strokes. A real eye-catcher for professionals is to give them an additional striped look.

There are endless variations of bow nails. You can find lots of other inspiration on Pinterest and Instagram.
