The Psychology of Green Nails
Did you know that wearing green nails can positively affect your brain?
Imagine walking through a forest filled with lush green trees and plants. How does it make you feel? Probably calm and refreshed, right? Green is associated with nature and growth, so it's like a breath of fresh air for your brain.
Green is the color of life and growth. It represents renewal, freshness, and vitality. It's like a symbol of new beginnings.
When you look at green, your brain releases chemicals that help you relax. After staring at screens or books all day, looking at something green gives your eyes a mini vacation.
This potent color is also known for its calming and balancing effect. Green can restore a sense of peace when things feel hectic or stressful.
Also, green is linked to spirituality and rebirth in many cultures and religions. For example, in Islam, green is considered the color of paradise. In Hinduism, it's associated with the heart chakra, representing love and compassion.
Green is also motivating! Have you heard of the phrase "green with envy"? This color is ambitious and can give you a little push to pursue your goals and dreams. Green says go for it!

Then, there’s the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci with a soft green and blue background that adds depth and atmosphere to the scene behind her enigmatic smile.
A significant portion of the Water Lilies by Claude Monet features lush green foliage surrounding the serene water. The green contributes to the overall sense of tranquility and natural beauty.
These are just a few examples of how, throughout art history, green has been an evocative color used by artists to convey meanings and emotions. Now, it’s your turn!

Tricks for Perfect French Tips at Home
It's tricky to get the perfect smile line on French tips unless you've had a lot of practice drawing curves. Trying to make it look the same on every nail is almost impossible without a lot of practice. However, there are easy tricks to make perfect French tips every time.
Use a Sticker or Nail Striping Tape
No, using tools to help you achieve a flawless manicure is not cheating. Once you apply the base color, make sure it's completely dry and not tacky before pressing the tape into place. Ensure that there are no gaps where the polish could sneak through. Once the tape is in place, you don't need a skinny nail art brush. Paint the tip with the brush from the bottle because it won't matter if you color outside the lines. However, there are two points to consider. If you try to use regular tape, the adhesive may leave a residue or damage the base color. Second, there are two schools of thought: rip off the tape immediately or wait until the polish is dry to remove it. In either case, the goal is to avoid damaging the design. We suggest checking the instructions on whichever masking product you use.
Use a Stamp
Paint the squishy silicone stamper, then press your nail into it. Gently wiggle the tool back and forth to cover the tip and remove the fingernail to check the result. Pretty soon, you'll get the hang of how much polish to use and how much rocking back and forth it takes.
Try This Celebrity Method
Celebrity nail artist Deborah Lipman says to turn the brush sideways and hold it still. Rotate the fingertip across the bristles, rolling through the polish. Alternatively, paint the edge of a makeup sponge with polish and use the same rolling technique.
Soon, you'll be the one your friends are asking for advice on when it comes to doing French tips!
