Believe it or not, you do not have to be an artist to do your own nail designs. However, nail designs are a type of art and like art, you start off with basic shapes and keep adding details along the way. And also like art, simplicity is visually pleasing. Here are a few simple nail designs you can try yourself. If you are a beginner, start with the easy ones first to get practice. If you are a beginner or an expertise and desire more complex designs with ease, try Konad.

Random Lines This look may be the easiest to achieve because of its abstract nature. To do, apply one coat of colored nail polish to your nails. My suggestion is red. If you are giving yourself a pedicure, you only have to apply the nail design to each of your big toes. Nail art brushes that you find at any beauty store are the easiest to use when doing nail designs, but if you do not have one, regular nail polish will do.

You can also use a toothpick. Take black nail polish and make thin, random strokes that start at the base of your nail and shoot up from there. It is important to have very little nail polish on the brush so that you do not end up with globs on your nail. It is also important that your lines are thin. Your lines can start from the same point each time or you can have the lines come from different places. Two-three black lines per nail should do it. Apply a coat of clear nail polish and you are done!

Flowers Flowers are a good starting point because if you are a beginner, your accidents can easily be made into flowers. To start, choose what color you want the middle of your flower to be. Yellow and white are popular colors. Then, place a dab of nail polish on your nail.

Choose a nail color for the actual flower and make several dabs around the first dab you made. You have now created a flower. Do this with each nail. Creating flowers to the side of the nail look more professional. You do have one more option. Using a toothpick or a thin nail art brush, fill in a circle for the center of the flower. Then draw small circles or ovals around it to create a flower. You do not have to fill in the circles with nail color. You can simply draw a center and have a bunch of small lines emanating from a central point. With this method, you only have to use one color, instead of two, to create your flowers. It is your preference.

French Manicure or Pedicure- The French manicure is relatively simple, but following the natural curve of the nail is challenging. First, apply a coat of clear nail polish to each nail. Then take white nail color and apply it to only the tips of your nails. Some people like to use nail art brushes-those nail polishes in a skinny bottle that come with a skinny brush. It is easier to form a curve with these brushes, but they are not necessary. You can sweep the white nail color across each nail from left to right. The other option is to apply the white nail polish just like you were applying nail polish to the entire nail. In other words, apply the nail color the long way but only do the tips. Either way works, and there are now French manicure pens available to make the process even easier. Don’t give up. Do all of your nails and you will be surprised at how well they turn out. They may not be perfect, but most people will be looking at them from a distance. For a pedicure, you can get away with only having nail designs on your big toe. For hands, you can cover any mistakes by purchasing a nail art brush in silver. Run the silver polish along the curve where the clear nail polish meets the white nail polish. This will form a silver line that will hide your mistakes and add an air of sophistication as well. Apply one more coat of clear nail color and you’re done.

French Manicure with Gems- Nail decals are a simple and easy way to make your nails look professional. To do, give yourself a French manicure or pedicure. Pick up one of your nail gems with a pair of tweezers and place it on top of your nail. You can choose to place just one nail decal, or several, on each nail.

Watermelon Surprise This nail design may look difficult, but remember that it is only a compilation of basic shapes. Apply pink nail color to all of your nails. Polish the tips of your nails with an off white or pearl color. Using a nail art brush or toothpick, trace the other edge of your nail with dark green nail color. You should now have a thin, green line along the outside of your nail. Add 4 black dots to each corner of the nail and one black dot in the middle and you are finished.

Most people with eyeglasses will at some point have an incident that causes some form damage to their eyeglasses. Fortunately, one does not have to rush to the eyeglass store to get them fixed. By using an eyeglass repair kit, you can often do the repair yourself.

The following is a guide to fixing a pair of eyeglasses:

Purchase a quality eyeglass repair kit. You can purchase these kits online, or at any eyeglasses store or department store. Examine the eyeglasses to see where it is damaged.

I. A Screw Loose or Missing

If the screw is loose, remove it. Get a new screw from your repair kit. Insert where a screw is missing with a new screw. When putting in a new screw, tighten the screw and stop when you feel it tough to turn

II. Missing or Damaged Nose Supports

Remove the screw that holds the current nose pad. Get a nose pad from your repair kit or get the specific one that matches your eyeglasses from an eyeglass store. Insert the new nose pad by lining up the new nose pad with the bracket. Begin to replace the screw by tightening it. Stop when you have to force it to turn.

III. Screw in the Lens Frame Missing or Worn

Remove the current screw that connects the ear piece to the frame of the eyeglass. Use the screwdriver to insert a new screw. Tighten the screw but stop when you have to force it.

IV. Hinge Damaged

Use the little pliers from the eyeglass repair kit to carefully bend the hinge back in place.

When repairing eyeglasses there are number of measures one should take to avoid further damage, and include:

1. Apply a bit of clear nail polish on the hinge once screws are inserted. Make sure it is dry before wearing your eyeglasses. This helps keep the screw in place.

2. If the metal hinge has broken off the frame, apply strong glue using a toothpick. Hold the hinge in place until it adheres to the frame.

3. If the earpiece slides off the frame, glue it back on the frame.

4. Make sure the eyeglass repair kit you buy has all the necessary repair items.

5. When doing a repair, work under a bright light and use a brightly colored towel to set your equipment. A bright one color towel such as pink or white will ensure that if you drop any item such as a very small screw, you will find it.

6. When repairing eyeglasses, you will likely get smudges from your fingers all over the lenses and frame. Use a quality eye glass cleaner and an eyeglass cleaning cloth to wipe away any smudges and dirt.

If you think you may damage your eyeglasses if you try to repair them, take them to your local eyeglass store or your eye doctor. We all engage in activities that put our eyeglasses at risk of being damaged. It could be such incidents as playing sports or accidentally falling off when we get out of vehicle. Fortunately, there are quality eye repair kits that can provide you with everything you need to fix them.
