1. Brighten up

Brighten up Make sure you use natural lighting. Head outside or sit near a window to get the sun on your nails.

2. Consider Your Background

Consider Your Background Instead of placing your nails against a white wall, try to find a colorful piece of fabric to rest your hands on. It'll make the shot look more colorful and interesting.

3. Go beyond Instagram Filters

Go beyond Instagram Filters If a filter won't give you the result you want, try getting a photoshop app. Then you can do even more with your photo.

4. Upgrade with Accessories

Upgrade with Accessories You don't want your hands to look plain and boring. Add a few rings and bracelets to make yourself look more fashionable.

If you're tired of your same old nail polish and want to shake things up a bit, you're in the right place. Here we provide some trendy and unique nail colors options for you. Enliven your style and let your fingertips do the talking. Get ready for the compliments!

5. Get Close

Get Close Don't be afraid to place the camera close to your hands. If they're too far away, no one will see the details of your nail designs.

6. Wrap Your Hands around a Nail Polish Bottle

Wrap Your Hands around a Nail Polish Bottle If you feel strange just resting your hands on a surface, you can hold a nail polish bottle instead. It should help relax you and make you feel less awkward. Plus, it'll make for a pretty picture!

I like when the nail model shows off the product she uses on her nails. Like when she's holding a nail polish bottle or stickers, so, we can see what she used to achieve the look.
