Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best tools for creating toe nail art designs?

Supplies such as some nail art tape, a dotting tool, a thin tip brush, and a nail polish correcting pen are required to create beautifully intricate toe nail art designs.

How to care for and maintain toe nail art designs for long-lasting results?

Avoid using hot water for a few hours after a pedicure because it will fade the color and weaken the layers of polish. Applying cuticle oil and wrapping toes in plastic wraps before wearing shoes or socks are some ways to make the nail art last longer.

How to prevent smudging nail art design when applying a top coat?

To avoid smudging, wait at least two minutes for the nail paint to dry between each layer. After all the layers have been applied, you should wait as long as possible before applying the topcoat. You can try dipping your nails in cold water to speed up the drying process.

Is there a risk of developing an allergic reaction to toe nail art products?

Yes; studies have shown that the presence of methacrylate chemicals in nail art products can cause severe, itchy rashes on the skin.
