Hi girlies, the theme for day 12 is Stripes, here I have stripes in a variety of colors. Like Polka Dots, Stripes too can never go out of fashion in nail art. They are easy to create and gives an illusion of longer nails. Here I have used red, white & black colors but the outcome didn't please me much. 





Here is the pictorial of the nail art I created for today.

Step 1- Two coats each of white, red & black nail paint on the nails.

Step 2- Nail Stripper to draw stripes on every nail with opposite colors.

Step 3- Rhinestones on ring finger & index finger nails to add a bit of pop.

Step 4- Top coat to add gloss and seal in the art. Done!!!!



Thank you all for bearing with me and do have a great afternoon :)

                          Hello everyone, the theme for day 11 is Polka Dots. Polka dots are never out of fashion and they can always jazz up your nail art. Place a few random dots here and there and you have a cool nail art which is chic and adorable. Here I have used a bright red as the base color and a bright blue to make the dots. Also I added yellow for some fun.


Here is the pictorial of the nail art I created for today. Enjoy.....

Step 1- Two coats of bright red nail paint.

Step 2- Random dots with a bright blue nail paint.

Step 3- Bright red dots over the bright blue dots.

Step 4- Bright yellow dots over the red dots.

Step 5- Top coat for glossy look and sealing in the nail art. Done!!!!



Thank you all for bearing with me and do have a great day :)

               The theme for day 10 is Rainbow Nails, it is difficult to create a rainbow pattern for a beginner like me but here I have tried my best. I have used all the colors in the rainbow (VIBGYOR) on my nails but not in order. I therefore went in for a water marble nail art which would let me use Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange & Red together. Even after trying so much it didn't turn out as I thought it would :(



Here is the pictorial of the nail art I created for today. Enjoy it.....

Step 1-  Two coats of white nail polish, kindly excuse for the messy application.

Step 2- Use scotch tape around nails to prevent the mess while marbling.

Step 3- Use all rainbow colors for the water marbling.

Step 4-  Work each nail separately. Make different designs on water for different nails but keep the colors same.

Step 5- This is how it looks after removing the tape and cleaning.

Step 6- Top coat to seal in the nail art and give a glossy look. Done!!!!!




Thank you all for bearing with me and do have a great afternoon :)

                Nails paints that have a matte non-glossy finish are called Matte Nail Polish. It gives a smooth finish to the nails sans the shine. There are 2 ways to create matte nails, first is to simply use a Matte Nail Paint and the second way is to apply a matte top coat over any regular nail paint. The theme for day 9 is Matte Nails and I choose a grey matte nail paint for this look. I couldn't leave it at that so I simply decorated it with stickers. I liked the end result more than the 8th day result but can't say I am satisfied.



Here is the pictorial of the nail art I created for today. Enjoy.....

Step 1- Two coats of cement grey matte nail paint.

Step 2- Add stone stickers with nail glue and stick them in place.

Step 3- Here I have added 3 stickers on the moon of each nail and and 3 hearts on the ring finger nail to give a little pop to the otherwise plain matte nails.

Step 4- Done!!!!



Thank you all for bearing with me and do have a great afternoon :)

                    The theme for day 8 is gradient, I used pinks for this theme- light, medium & dark. Gradient effect nails also known as Ombre effect nails are very tricky to create. But once you get the hang of it, you can create great looking nails. I am not good at this, still in the learning process and you will know that by seeing the pics below. Anyways, I tried hard and since I am running out of time now ( I am posting 8th day nail aet and today is the 21st of August). I am not happy with the result :(


Here is the pictorial of the nail art I created for today. Enjoy.....

Step 1- Two coats of white nail paint.

Step 2- A light pink is applied with a piece of sponge near the moons of the nails leaving a little white visible.

Step 3- Apply a medium pink nail paint with a piece of sponge on the middle of the nails overlapping the light pink.

Step 4- Add a dark pink on the tips of the nails with a piece of sponge overlapping the medium pink.

Step 5- A black line down the nail with a nail stripper brush.

Step 6- Three dots on each nail on both ends & middle of the black line.

Step 7- White dots placed over black dots.

























Step 8- Pink dots placed over white dots, sealed with a top coat. Done!!!



Thank you all for bearing with me and do have a great day :)

         The theme for Day 7 is Black and White and what I did is painted 3 nails with black and 2 nails with white. Now I did not go for a single design on all the nails, instead I tried out 5 different designs. A unique design for each unique nail. And I must say I am very pleased with the outcome.


Coming to today's theme of black and white, I must say that they compliment each other very well. Black is the color of modernity, power, sophistication, elegance, mystery, style, evil, death, fear, mourning, sorrow and unhappiness. White is the color of reverence, purity, peace, innocence, simplicity, coldness, surrender and winter.

Here is the pictorial of the nail art I created for today. Hope you enjoy it.

.
Step 1- Three coats of black on thumb, middle and pinky and two coats of white on the index and ring fingers.

Step 2- White dots on the thumb with black dots over the white dots, Three vertical black lines on the index nail, A white French Tip on the middle nail with black dots.

Step 3- A drip pattern with black on the ring finger nail and finally Random white untidy dots on the lower half of the pinky nail.

Step 4- Seal in with a top coat. I messed up the French Tip a little on the middle finger nail while applying the top coat, that's a different matter ;) Done!!!




Thank you all for bearing with me and do have a great day :)

                  Hello everyone, I was not much satisfied with yesterday's Red Nail Art. It was just not making me happy, no way. Coming to today's theme which is Blue Nail Art, here I am with another nail art, blue with white flowers but due to poor light my hands are looking soooo dark. Sob sob..... But other than that I am quite contended with the outcome.


Anyways, coming to the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge, today's theme is Blue Nail Art. Blue is the color of divinity, nobility, the clear sky and the deep seas not to forget the precious Lapis Lazuli.


Here are the pictorial of the nail art I created for today. Hope you enjoy it.

Step 1- Three coats of bright Blue nail paint.

Step 2- Dots (5) on each nails and pulled each dot into middle to make flowers. Also placed dots on top of flowers just to add a little more decoration to the nails.

Step 3- Placed deep blue dots on the center of each flower. I was thinking of placing a dark colored or white rhinestone but decided against it finally but it too will look good.

Step 4- Top coat to protect the nail art. Done!!!!




Thank you very much for bearing with me. Have a great weekend :)
