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. :)

Romantic nail art with kisses :)

Hey :)
This romantic nail art has been done using the konad stamping kit :)
Here's how :




Procedure :

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

Step 2  : Apply a light pink/lavender colour nail polish on all your nails

Step 3  : Next, after making sure that the base is completely dry, take your konad black special nail polish and konad plate no.m4

Step 4  : The design we will be using is the center one, leaving out the written "kiss me". You can do this by trying to avoid applying the polish over that area, or you can rub it off from your stamp before stamping ontp your nail.






Step 5  : Repeat stamping the lip mark all over your nails at regular intervals.


Step 6  : Once your satisfied, let the design dry, then apply a glitter polish over it.

Step 7  : Finish off with a regular or konad topcoat to seal in your design :)
