Unleash your inner goddess with mind-blowing festival nail art!
Contents
Music festivals present the perfect occasion to break free from the ordinary and let your nails do the talking! But, as beautiful as they are, festival nails need to be practical too as you don’t want them to chip and break off mid-way through your weekend.
This article contains some mind-blowing nail art ideas to unleash your inner festival goddess!
What’s The Best Nail Polish for Festival Nails?
Regular nail polish is likely to chip in 2-3 days, which means it’s not the best product to use on your nails if you’ll be camping in a field for 5 days. Most music festival prohibit glass bottles, including nail polish, so that means you won’t be able to top it up if it does chip.
Gel polish that’s cured by LED or UV light will last for 1-2 weeks. It usually comes in a black opaque bottle, as the polish itself is reactive to light.
You’ll always need:
- Clean, file, buff and prep your nails first
- Base coat – gel base coat is still quite tacky after being cured, this helps the nail polish stick better
- 2 coats of colour + your design
- A clean, shiny top coat – this will cure to be exceptionally hard and strong, meaning that your beautiful festival nail art will last for 2-3 weeks!
Be aware that regularly using lamps to cure your nail polish can be bad for your skin, so it’s a good idea to reserve these long-lasting nail designs for special occasions like this one!
