Nail art is the ‘in’ thing now. Nail designs that depict the Aztec pattern is the trend of the day. While Aztec patterns have been created on clothes and bed linen till now, you can now create them on your nails too. However, the more detailing you want to create, the more time consuming it will be. I have tried creating an Aztec pattern of my own. You can try creating simpler patterns of your own choice. The best part about Aztec nail art is that there are no rulebooks that you need to follow for creating a pattern. The most common patterns in an Aztec print are zig zags, stripes, slanted lines and dots.
Aztec Nail Art Tutorial
Things required:
Step 1:
Use base coat because it will protect your nails from harmful effects of acrylic paint. The base coat also provides extra protection to nails that are prone to chipping or breaking. Once it is dry, use one layer of skin coloured nail polish. This will make the base more opaque and provide more strength to the nails.
