Nail Art Design #1

A very warm hello and welcome to all my readers.
My name is Bhavana.
Now before posting anything, i thought i should tell y'll a little about myself.
I am an Engineer by calling. In spite of being in the technical field, art has always somehow managed to rule my life.

Now coming to nail art, I wasn't really aware of nail art or anything related to it until lately when i tried my hand at it. I thought, since i am starting to like it i should definitely put my own ideas into it and see how well i can do or how far i can get in it.
So here I am!

This is not a tutorial page as of now since I am a beginner at this myself. So i will just be showcasing some of the stuff i have tried and will be trying in future in nail art which can be useful to people wanting to try their hand at nail art.
I might however give some details on the products and the tricks i will be using in nail art.
Please excuse the picture quality since i don't use a professional camera.

NA #1


I call this 'The White Carnations' since the design resembles the petals of Carnation.
This one is really easy to try. All you need is a stamping kit which i am sure is easily available at any online store.
For all those who don't know what a stamping kit is, it is basically a nail art kit which includes a stamp, special stamping paint, image plates and a paint scraper.

Using a stamping kit:

The stamping paint dries out really soon so u need be quick in using it.
Take the image plate and choose the design which you want to use on your nail (usually there will be 5 or 6 designs in a single image plate), paint the special paint on it to fill out the design completely. Be real quick in this.
Use the scraper to remove any excess paint on the design and quickly place the stamp on the design applying a little pressure on it.
Remove the stamp and quickly transfer the design onto your nails. Move the stamp from one side of the nail to other so that all the design gets stamped perfectly onto you nail.

Here, I have first painted my nails with black polish (i have used Elle 18  nail pops-black) and let them dry.
Used the stamping kit with white special polish for stamping the design onto my nails.
The design plate i have used is Konad Stamping Nail Art Image Plate - M2.
In order to secure the design and make it long last i have applied a coat of top coat polish.
