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  : 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.

Procedure  :


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

Step 2  : Apply pink (or any other colour you prefer) nail polish diagonally , at around 2/3rd of your nails. You can also use a cellophane tape to mark off the required area. (If your not sure how to do with the cellophane tape, details steps are given in the patchwork tutorial)

Step 3  : Next , after the pink has dried, using black konad special nail polish and konad plate no. m45, print the netted design along the diagonal of the nail polish. Try to align it as much as possible, but dont worry, it doesn't have to be perfect, we will be correcting the edge.

Step 4  : Now, using regular black polish or acrylic paint and a thin brush, draw a line along the upper and lower sides of the net to even it out.

Step 5  : Apply a tiny drop of clear nail polish at the bottom of the nail, at the opposite corner of the diagonal.

Step 6  : You can finish it at this stage, or if you want to fill in the top portion, you can stamp on some other small designs from your konad plates. Here I have used plates : m3 and m2.

Step 7  : Finally finish off with a top coat to seal your design and rhinestone :)
