And what sweater nails actually are?
Sweater nails are one of the most popular nail trends right now. You may be wondering what sweater nails are. If you’re not, then it’s time to find out! Sweater nails are a type of nail art that is meant to look like the ribbing on a knit sweater.
These nails reference our favorite winter sweaters with an intricate design of lines, dots, and waves. This nail art technique will leave your fingers feeling cozy and stylish. You can choose from many different prints or patterns to match any outfit. It’s also an easy and fun way to add some character to your manicure.
The most critical decision that you have to make when getting dressed up is what nail polish color to wear. They can be made with any color you want, but we suggest dark shades of blue or green to stand out from the other colors in the sweater pattern.
The Simplest Steps to Do Sweater Nails
- Here’s how to get sweater nails: First, start with a base coat of nail polish in any color you like. Once that’s done, it’s time to start painting on your design.
- You can choose any pattern or design that you like; there are plenty of tutorials online for inspiration. Next, paint one or two coats nail polish on your nails until they’re completely covered. Wait for them to dry before moving onto the next step.
- Then use use a small brush dipped in dark polish to create stripes or vertical lines down each nail. This will be what creates our “sweater look.”
- Finally, apply clear topcoat over all your fingers for durability!
