Fiery Hot Nail Art


Hey!! This hot nail art is really easy and quick to do, and looks incredible.

You can of course, use other colour of your choices, I loved the way these two colours complemented each other.





Procedure  :

Step 1  : Apply a base coat to prevent your nails from staining and also to protect them. I once applied this orange without a base coat and when I removed it, all my nails had turned orange and looked horrible.

Step 2  : Apply two coats of a pastel orange nail polish on all yous nails and let them dry.





Step 3  : With a reddish pink nail striper, or using a thin brush, paint on some thin stripes, radiating from the bottom right corner of your nails. Make sure each stripe tapers towards the end.

Step 4  : Take a silver glitter polish and dab on lightly at the corner alone, and also apply a red rhinestone while the polish is still wet.

Step 6  : Finally apply a layer of top coat to seal it all in, and you're done !!

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 :)
