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.
