BILLA 2 !!!

To all my Tamil friends out there, are you an Ajith (Thala ) fan??? If you are, then this is the design for you!!





I don't think i can actually type the steps on how to do it, but you can try your own creations based on this nail art :)

I applied alternating black and white base for the nails, and did all the designs (except the middle finger) using acrylic paint.






I did the main Billa logo on my thumb. My thumb nail recently broke :( so I wasn't able to complete the design on the right side. I suggest you apply a clear coat before painting using white acrylic on black nails, coz over time the white mixes with the black and makes it a sort of grey.






For the fore finger, i painted on the lips using white acrylic. You can also use konad stamping , but i just felt this looked better.

The middle finger was done using konad stamping kit with Red on a white base to form a sort of splattered blood effect.

The gun design was inspired by the gun at the end of  007 (James bond style ;) )

And finally, what's a don without some money?? I just painted it on a white base using black acrylic.

Any doubts, feel free to comment below :)


Hope you liked the design and even more the movie .. Coz i thought it was fantastic!! :D

Red and Black Drag nail art

Hey everyone!! Ever wanted to do a quick and easy design???

Can be done on short or long nails!!

Then this is the one for you!! Simple, easy and quick to do!! Here's how :D


                                           Source: Uploaded by user via M Abi on Pinterest


Procedure :


Step 1  : Apply a base coat to protect your nails and prevent them from staining.

Step 2  : Apply red to half your nail, and black to the other half and let it dry for a few minutes. We do this step because when we drag the nail polish polish, we don't want our nail to show through.

Step 3  : Now , apply a slightly thicker coat of red and black to the respective halves of your nails and before it dries, quickly, using a needle, drag the nail polish from the red to the black horizantally to form stripes.



Step 4  : Repeat the same process to all the nails, and let it dry. This will take some time since we have applied a thick coat of nail polish.

Step 5  : Finally apply a layer of top coat to seal your design and your done !! :)

Alternative : If you have long nails, you can try doing it only on your tips for a unique French tip , or you could  try dragging from both sides , it's all up to you!!

Patchwork Abstract Nail Art

Have a multi-coloured dress and need colourful nails to match them???




Here's the design for you!!

Keep these colours as they are or change them around as you wish :)






Procedure  :

Step 1  : Apply a base coat to protect your nails and prevent them from staining.

Step 2  : Apply the lightest colour as the base on all your nails.

Step 3  : Take a a piece cellophane tape, stick it several time on your arm and peel off to reduce it's stickiness.

Step 4  : Now, make sure the base coat is completely dry before youapply the tape along one diagonal.

Step 5  : Now apply the darkest colour on the area not covered by the tape.





Step 6  : After the paint is partially dry, remove the tape. Let the colour dry completely.

Step 7  : Now again take another piece of tape, reduce it's stickiness and apply it along the opposite diagonal.

Step 8  : Fill the uncovered area with the medium dark colour. After the polish is partially dry, remove the tape.

NOTE : For those of you with a steady hand, you can try doing it without the tape and with a thinner brush.
Also you can do the medium dark colour using tape, and fill the darkest colour with a thinner brush.
You can change the colours as required, they dont necessarily have to be different shades of the same colour.


Step 9  : Using the lightest colour and a dotting tool (or the end of a bobby pin) place some dots on the medium dark coloured area.

Step 10  : Finally, with a thin brush and black nail polish or acrylic paint, draw some short lines at the junctions of the colours to form the stitches.

Step 11  : Finish off with a top coat to seal in your beautiful design :)










Here is a different version of it using 4 colours, and without the dots and stitches.
