Nail art can be a beautiful and stylish addition to a manicure that doesn’t have to be expensive.  These days a variety of products are available to enable you to decorate your nails at home.

Stamps

These consist of stainless steel disks with designs etched in them that can be transferred onto the nail. A special thick nail polish (regular polish doesn’t work properly) is used to cover the design and the excess scraped off with a flat tool. The design can then be picked up with a stamping tool and applied to the nail. The designs available are extensive, from patterns to animal print to flowers to cartoons, and range in size so they can be applied to the whole nail, a small area of it, or as a patterned French tip. Stamping allows the nails to be decorated with very intricate designs for an impressive look with minimal skill and effort needed. The most popular brand of stamps is Konad and these are widely available online.

Nail Art Pens

Nail art pens consist of either a fine tipped pen or a squeezable bottle with a fine nib. They are available in a wide range of colors and the polish can simply be applied on top of a dry coat of nail polish. The designs that can be created are limited only by the imagination, however this does require steady hands and some patience in order to hand draw each nail individually. Nail art pens are manufactured by many nail polish companies such as Sally Hansen and Migi and can be found online or in stores.

Crackle or Shatter

This top coat has come back into fashion lately with OPI as the latest company to produce their version. Most only produce black, but for a wide range of colors try the Mia Secret range. Crackle polish is applied over a dry base. It’s best to use a contrasting color to get the most impressive effect and it is very important to wait for this to completely dry. A thin layer of crackle polish can be applied over the top, which will produce a crackled effect as it dries. It works because it contains an incompatible solvent which makes it dry unevenly leading to cracks. This does however give a poor finish so it is a good idea to use a clear top coat for a smooth finish and to make it last as long as possible. The thickness of the crackle coat can be varied to get the desired look, and an attractive leopard print effect can be produced using an orange base coat with black crackle over it.

Ombre Nails

This look involves a gradient from dark to light and while often done in salons with an airbrush, can be done

Excess chin hair is a common problem among many women. Luckily, there are quite a few processes for chin hair removal that are fast, efficient and easy to do.

Try Plucking

For the woman that has only a few stray chin hairs, plucking is probably the fastest and easiest way to go. Simply get a magnified mirror and a pair of tweezers and sit in front of a window or go out in the backyard, to ensure you get those few pesky strands

Use Depilatory Creams

There are quite a few products in your local drug store that are easy to apply and very effective. Products such as Nair Face Cream with Green Tea Sensitive Formula and Surgi-Cream Hair Removal For Face. Depilatory creams work by dissolving the hair with chemicals. Be sure to test on your skin however in a less visible area to ensure there is no allergic reaction before applying to your face.

Try Waxing

This is another fairly simple method to remove chin hair at home (or in a salon if you prefer). There are many waxes available on the market such as Sally Hansen Honey Wax Hair Remover for Face and Parissa Strip-Free Hot Wax Face/Brow/Bikini that are made specifically for use on the sensitive face area. Always be sure to apply to a test area on your skin that is not very visible first however to ensure there is no allergic reaction. Sometimes the area might feel a little raw after completed. Rubbing ice on the area should take care of this quickly and easily.

Go For Laser Hair Removal

While a little bit more expensive, many women swear by laser hair removal t get rid of unwanted chin hair. Not only is it an effective treatment, but it is known to greatly reduce and/or permanently stop the hair from every growing back after a few treatments. While some women say that it is not very painful, others recommend using a numbing cream one hour before treatment to ensure comfort. You can find laser hair removal at many salons or dermatologists offices.

Get Electrolysis

Another method for removing unwanted chin hair is Electrolysis. This is a more effective method than waxing or creams in terms of how long it takes for the hair to grow back, however there are some drawbacks you need to be aware of. It is fairly costly and time consuming. It can also cause possible scarring. It is very important to find a reputable practitioner before attempting this method.
