Vinayakar chathurthi nails

Hello! Belated Vinayakar Chathurthi wishes! Hope everyone had a great time 😊😊😊

I did my nails based on this, here's my take on it!



On my fore finger, I  have the kozhukattai , vada and sundal on a banana leaf.

On my middle finger, I did the traditional kolam , and the base colour was meant to look like the floor.



On my ring finger, we have the birthday baby Ganesh.

Finally on my ring finger I drew the AUM symbol.

Hope you like it! 😊😊😊

One stroke acrylic paint design

Hey !! After a loooong time I finally sat down and did a new nail art..

I've been wanting to try out the one stroke manicures for a long time, but i could never find the right sized brush. Now I finally got a small flat end brush and decided to try it out .







The paint was a little watery, so the colours weren't so opaque in one coat, i havd to go over the flowers again to make them visible.






I did the flower only on my thumb and middle finger, cause they are wider and have more space, so it;s easier to paint the flowers.

One the remaining nails I just did one stroke leaves. I used red and white for the flowers, and green and yellow for the leaves. as usual a base coat and top coat, i painted my base black to make the flowers stand out more.

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

Extremely simple yet oh so elegant, no one would believe it was your first attempt !!







Procedure  :

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

Step 3  : Take a silver nail polish or acrylic paint and place three dots in a curve at the base of your nail at a corner.

Step 4  : Before it dries, quickly, with a toothpick, press and drag on the dot toward the corner to create a petal (tear drop) shape.

Step 5 : Repeat the same for the remaining 2 dots and on all your nails.

Step 6  : For an extra touch of glamour, you can sprinkle some glitter over it while the paint is still dry, but remember, this can get quiet messy and do not try if your in a hurry.

Step 8  : Finally apply a layer of top coat to seal in your design and the rhinestone.

PROCEDURE :

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

Step 6  : Now place two tiny white dots in the black semi circles for the highlights in the eyes.






Step 7  : Now for your thumb, work on it horizontally.
