Spiral Nail Art



Hey everyone... This is a short and quick nail art and can be done easily on short or long nails






All you need for this nail art is a base colour and a nail art pen in a diferent colour.The colour can be contrasting, or different shades of the same colour.

If you dont have a nail art pen, you can try this with your nail art brush, but you might need to be steady and careful. So here's the procedure :)



PROCEDURE :

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

Step 2  : Apply 2 layers of the nail polish in your desired colour.

Step 3  : Using a nail art pen or brush, care draw a small spiral at the bottom corner of your nail.

Step 4  : Draw a slightly larger spiral next to it, going in the opposite direction. If you have short nails, you can stop at this, for longer nails, continue with the steps below.

Step 5  : Draw two curvy lines as shown in the pictue on the opposite corner of your nails.

Step 6   :If required , fill in the gap between the lines with a glitter polish and add some stones.

Step 7  : Finish off with a final layer of top coat to protect the design. That's it :)

PROCEDURE :

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

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. :)
