Ombre Glitter Nail Art

Yello!

I hope you guys are having a great week.

I know it's not my blog post day today but I just couldn't resist to share this new design that I did few days ago!

So here I am with my new nail art design.

NA#10

I call this one the 'Ombre Glitter Nail Art'. Looks a little complicated but the truth is that you don't need any tools to create this nail art.

Purple is my favorite color and in this design I have used a beautiful shade of purple from Elle 18 nail pops which is shade #54 as my base coat. I have used 3 different shades of nail art pens to create the ombre effect. If u don't have nail art pens, don't fret! Just pick up a toothpick to dot.

I wanted the design to look glittery, so I have gone for metallic shade for the ombre dots. I have used a beautiful metallic blue shade, a slightly darker shade of purple, both of these to add a little depth to the base coat and a silver color for highlighting.

First apply the purple shade as base coat and let it dry. Once its dry start off with the dots. I first randomly added few blue dots starting from the cuticles and gradually decreasing the number of dots down to the nail tips. Don't cover the entire nail with the dots as this won't give you the ombre effect. 

Concentrate the dots at the cuticle and decrease the number as you move towards the tips.

After you are done with the blue dots, continue the process with the darker shade of purple color and with the silver polish. You will notice the ombre effect once you start adding the silver polish as it makes the other colors pop.

Finally secure the design with a coat of clear polish.

This one has already become my favorite and I will be doing the same design with a lot of other colors.

I hope you guys liked the design and will try it yourself :)

See you next time!

Summer Flowers Nail Art Design

Hello people!

I am extremely sorry for not posting anything for more than a week! Although I had done a new nail art design, I couldn't write a post because I was so much held up with other things.

But as they say ''Better late than never", I am late but back with a super cutesy summer flower nail art design.

So here it is!

NA#9

As promised in my previous blog post, I have done a nail art which you could don this summer! I have used a nice warm shade of orange with a little bit of white for this one as you can see in the picture.

The nail paint that I have used for my base coat is shade #214 from the Maybelline Color Show range of nail enamels and it's called 'Orange Fix'.

Initially when I bought this color I was skeptical on using it because I have a dusky complexion and not all warm colors suit dusky skin.

But I must tell you this shade suits pretty much every skin tone! And it looks absolutely amazing!

Well, back to the design. I have used my stamping kit again for this design.

I needed cute small flowers so I chose a design from the Konad Image plate M2 which has many cute little floral images.

I applied two coats of orange as the base coat and once it was dry, I used Konad special stamping nail polish(white) for stamping the cutesy flower bunch onto my nails from the image plate(for instructions on how to use a stamping kit please refer to my initial blog posts). And finally secured the design with a layer of clear polish.

I hope you guys had a good time reading the post and will try this design for yourself.

Have a great weekend ahead! :)

Funky Triangle Nail Art

Sunday is here again! So am I with a new funky summer nail art!

Although summer is here, I am still stuck to the dark winter colors. But I promise I'll get back to you guys with some fun and bright colors next time!

So here is my Funky Triangle Nail Art.

NA#8

Yes...yes I am getting better with the picture editing isn't it? Numbering n all eh? ;) 

Well yeah I am trying my best to be clear with the steps so that you can do it easily.

So lets get started.

I have used two basic contrasting colors here. Shade #35 which is a glossy black from Elle 18 colors pops and a beautiful teal which is shade #34 called 'The Ocean Blue' from Streetwear Color Rich nail enamel.

I first painted my nails with 2 coats of black polish as the base coat and allowed it to dry.

After that, for creating the perfect triangle I used two strips of sticky tape and stuck them diagonally across the tips of my nails to form a small triangle at the cuticle tips.

It is important to see that the tape is stuck to nails well and there are no air gaps otherwise the triangle will not come out perfectly after you remove the tape.

Once the tape was stuck onto the nails, I applied two coats of teal polish on the triangle area and let it dry.

I carefully removed the tape off my nails to get the perfect triangle.

Finally to secure the design, I applied a coat of clear polish.

Since I have used black polish as my base coat I had to paint two coats of teal polish for the color to be visible. You can use a lighter shade for your base coat if you don't have colors that will pop on the black polish.

Or you could just reverse the colors. Use teal as base coat and black for triangles.

I hope you had a good time reading the post and will try the design yourself.

Have a great week ahead :)

Cutesy Dots Nail Art

Happy Women's Day To All You Pretty Ladies Out There!

I hope you're having a great day and enjoying the spirit of womanhood.

Here I am to add a little creativeness to it with a cute nail art design :)

NA#7

Its a simple nail art and you can wear this pretty much to any occasion.

I thought that I should use some earthy colors this time so ended up using a very nice shade of maroony brown.

I have used two basic colors here. A very nice shade of magenta called 'C/941' in VOV range of nail art pens for the ribbon of dots and a maroonish brown shade called 'chocolate sin' by Maybelline New York Color Show range for the base coat.

I painted two coats of brown for the base coat and allowed it to dry. Once it was dry I used the nail art pen to draw the ribbon of dots.

The ribbon of dots might look a little complicated in the picture, but trust me its really simple.

Draw a very thin line of magenta across the tip of your nails. Soon after that place small dots along the line leaving some space between the adjacent dots till you cover the entire line. Allow it to dry and viola! You have mastered to draw the dots ribbon :)

After I was done with drawing the ribbon of dots, I allowed it to dry completely and then secured the design with a coat of clear polish. Always allow the design to dry completely before you apply the top coat otherwise the design might smudge.

So I hope you enjoyed reading the post and will try this design for yourself.

Once again a very happy Women's Day and much love :) xoxo
