Converse Nail Art - inspired by cutepolish
This is quite an old design but still looks cool when worn :)
I was inspired to do this design after watching cutepolish's video with a little modification, I've attached the link at the end of this post :)
PROCEDURE :
Step 1 : Apply a base coat to prevent your nails from staining and to protect them.
Step 2 : Take a piece of sellotape and stick it on the back of your hands for a few times to reduce the stickiness, and then apply it across the tip of your nail.
Step 3 : Now apply your desired colour for your converse on the whole of your nail
Step 4 : After the polish has dried, gently remove the sellotape.
Step 5 : Paint the remaining part of your nail white by painting horizontally across your nails.
Step 6 : Now take some silver nail polish and a using a dotting tool, draw two rows of dots along the length to create the holes.
Step 7 : Now repeat the same with a smaller dotting tool and black nail polish over the silver dots to give the holes some depth.
Step 8 : Using white nail polish, draw criss cross stripes to form the lace. (cutepolish would have done a continuous line, but I just felt this looked better, you can do whatever you like)
Step 9 : take some black nail polish and a thin striper brush and draw dotted lines along the curve of your tip to create the stiches.
Step 10 : Finally finish off with a top coat :)
Step 11 : As can be seen in the cutepolish video, i have applied a french tip on the remaing nails with a thin stripe in the matching colour underneath it.

Pink and black konad nail art with Rhinestone
Can be done on long or short nails!!
Procedure :
Step 1 : Apply a base coat to protect your nails and prevent them from staining.
Step 2 : Apply pink (or any other colour you prefer) nail polish diagonally , at around 2/3rd of your nails. You can also use a cellophane tape to mark off the required area. (If your not sure how to do with the cellophane tape, details steps are given in the patchwork tutorial)
Step 3 : Next , after the pink has dried, using black konad special nail polish and konad plate no. m45, print the netted design along the diagonal of the nail polish. Try to align it as much as possible, but dont worry, it doesn't have to be perfect, we will be correcting the edge.
Step 4 : Now, using regular black polish or acrylic paint and a thin brush, draw a line along the upper and lower sides of the net to even it out.
Step 5 : Apply a tiny drop of clear nail polish at the bottom of the nail, at the opposite corner of the diagonal.
Step 6 : You can finish it at this stage, or if you want to fill in the top portion, you can stamp on some other small designs from your konad plates. Here I have used plates : m3 and m2.
Step 7 : Finally finish off with a top coat to seal your design and rhinestone :)
