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 :)

Converse Nail Art - inspired by cutepolish

This is quite an old design but still looks cool when worn :)

I was inspired to do this design after watching cutepolish's video with a little modification, I've attached the link at the end of this post :)

PROCEDURE :

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

Step 2   : Take a piece of sellotape and stick it on the back of your hands for a few times to reduce the stickiness, and then apply it across the tip of your nail.

Step 3  : Now apply your desired colour for your converse on the whole of your nail

Step 4  : After the polish has dried, gently remove the sellotape.

Step 5  : Paint the remaining part of your nail white by painting horizontally across your nails.

Step 6  : Now take some silver nail polish and a using a dotting tool, draw two rows of dots along the length to create the holes.

Step 7  : Now repeat the same with a smaller dotting tool and black nail polish over the silver dots to give the holes some depth.

Step 8 : Using white nail polish, draw criss cross stripes to form the lace. (cutepolish would have done a continuous line, but I just felt this looked better, you can do whatever you like)

Step 9  : take some black nail polish and a thin striper brush and draw dotted lines along the curve of your tip to create the stiches.

Step 10  : Finally finish off with a top coat :)

Step 11  : As can be seen in the cutepolish video,  i have applied a french tip on the remaing nails with a thin stripe in the matching colour underneath it.
