Line art nail ideas
Line art nails use thin painted lines as the whole design: swirls, waves, outlines, abstract faces or simple strokes. On a nude or sheer base the effect is light and artistic.

Questions about line art nails
What brush is used for nail line art?
Artists use a long, very thin liner or striping brush with gel paint or nail art paint, which gives more control than regular polish.
Do line art nails suit short nails?
Yes. Fine lines keep the design light, so they look good on short nails and in everyday settings.
What colors work for line art?
Black or white lines on a nude base are the classic choice. Gold, chrome and bright single colors also work well.
