Pink and white flowers!

Heylo!

Todays nails are these pretty pink blossoms on an aqua/peacock green base!

Heres how to get them on your nails:

1. First paint on a base coat to prevent your nails from staining.

2. Add 2 coats of green or any shade of nail colour you prefer.

3. Paint small petal shapes for the folower with some white acrylic paint.

4. Now add a little pink to the outer edges of the petals, blending it in with the white so that you get a nice gradient from pink to white.

4. Finally outline the petals with some black acrylic to define them and add some black and silver microbeads to the center of each flower and you're done!!

5. Add a layer of top coat to complete the look😄😄

Hope you liked it!

Musical Notes Nail art

Hello!!

This is a simple and classic design which works well on medium to long nails!

All you need are two colours and you're ready to go :)

Procedure : 

Step 1 :  Apply a base coat to prevent your nails from staining and for a  nice smooth base to paint on.

Step 2 : Apply a white base on al your nails, you could also try it out with other colour combinations and jazz it up a bit.

Step 3 : Draw a few parallel lines on all your nails, depending on your nail length you can vary the number of lines you can fit. Skip this on your middle finger ( you can also keep your ring finger as your accent nail), you could also change the direction of the lines, or keep it the same on all your nails.


Step 4 : Now draw on some musical notes on the parallel lines with some pictures as reference.

Step 5 : On your accent nail, paint on the Treble clef symbol and a few dots(optional).

Step 6 : Finally, finish it off with some top coat and you're done !

Gold and black nail art

Bad news, I locked my box of nail polishes and now I'm not able to open it :-/ Left with only a few I had outside.

I did this nail art with this beautiful gold polish I got, since the rest are stuck inside and did the design on it with some black eye liner and a thin brush... I hadn't applied the top coat yet, hence the dried black eye liner design looks matte.

The eyeliner has to be dry before you apply the top coat , otherwise it rubs away when you paint over it. Also apply it quickly in quick few strokes.

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.

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.
