# How to Get the Perfect Instagram Nail Shot ...

When you get a gorgeous manicure, you'll want to show it off. Instagram is the best place to do that, which is why [In Style](https://www.instyle.com/news/how-take-most-flattering-manicure-shot) has some advice for taking the perfect shot of your nails.

## 1. 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

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

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

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

## 5. 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

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!
