For some, the ritual of a manicure is one not to be missed every three weeks. A fresh buff, shape and polish to make you feel put together, it is a cog in the never ending wheel of beauty and self-maintenance. While not all of us head into the nail salon for our manicure, an at-home version can sometimes feel even more luxurious, a piece of self-care not to be missed. For your next manicure, why not choose to employ a fresh batch of nail art brands while creating art on your fingertips? Here, we round up 17 of the best nail art brands to apply on your next DIY manicure.
