Glitter + Flower Nail Art

Hey people !!

This is a simple design for all those beginners out there and also for people who lack patience ;)

It can me done on long nails and also modified for short nails!!

You don't even need to know any techniques for this cute design!!







PROCEDURE :

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

Step 2  : Next apply a base colour of your choice. I suggest apply 2 thin layers instead of one thick gooey layer.

Step 3  : Using a dotting tool, and the colour of your choice for the flower, dot 5 or 6 dots in a circle, at the bottom corner of your nail to form the flower.

Step 4  : Apply a dot of  clear nail polish at the centre and apply a rhinestone.

Step 5  : If you have short nails, you can stop with this design. Or modify the following steps to the top part of your nails.

Step 6  : Apply clear polish diagonally at the tip of your nail. Quickly, before it dries, sprinkle some glitter on it.





Step 7  : Keep a sheet of paper beneath your nail to pour back the excess glitter back into the container. Using a fan brush, lightly press onto the glitter to set it, and then brush the excess off.

Step 8  : Finish off with a top coat to seal the rhinestone, glitter and your beautiful design. :)

Silver flower Nail Art

For all those beginners out there, this is the design for you!

Can be worn on noth short and long nails :)

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 2  : Apply a your favourite colour to all your nails to form the background for your silver flower.

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 7  : Next apply some clear polish at the corner of your nail, in the middle of your pflower and place a matching rhinestone.

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

NOTE : For those of you with long nails, you can even add another flower on he opposite corner to fill in the empty space :)



Cute Puppy Face Nail Art

This is a cute and unique nail design which is sure to make people take a second look at it!!

It's super cute and super easy!! Here's how :










PROCEDURE :

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

Step 2  : Paint 2 coats of the colour you want your puppy to be.

Step 3  : On your fore finger and pinky, draw 3 short lines for the whiskers.

Step 4  : On your middle finger and ring finger, draw 2 semi-circular shapes in white (nail polish or acrylic). Make sure that they are painted towards each other.

Step 5  : Now using a black polish or acrylic paint, paint smaller semi-circles in side them, and also draw the outline for the white semi-circle to define the eyes. An alternative way to do this would be to first draw a slightly  larger semicircle of black, underneath the the white one, to form the outline.

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.

Step 8  : Paint a small triangle in pink for the nose.

Step 9  : Next, outline the nose with black and draw two curved lines for the mouth. Using a toothpick, place a few dots around the mouth and nose.

Step 10  : And thats it!! Finish off with a top coat to seal your design :)
