Here are some nail art techniques:

1. Nail care: Ensure the skin around the nails is moisturized, trim the nails, shape them, and thoroughly clean the nails.

2. Base coat: Applying a base coat helps protect the nails from discoloration and makes the nail polish last longer.

3. Applying nail polish: Use a flat, smooth nail polish brush and apply the polish in even strokes from the center of the nail towards the edges. Don't forget to apply a topcoat at the end.

4. Drying time: Make sure each layer of nail polish is completely dry before moving on to the next step. You can use cool air or a quick-drying topcoat to speed up drying time.

5.Design embellishments: You can use a detail brush or other nail art brushes to create patterns or designs.

6.Clean-up: Finally, use a buffing brush to clean up any stray polish and do any final touch-ups.
