Challenge 15 of the 31 Day Nail art challenge is to do a delicate print!Raksha Bandhan is coming soon and I wanted to do an easier nail art for it (yes! I’m planning to do a difficult version too :P) So here is my Raksha Bandhan stamping nail art!

This nail art is done using Konad stamping kit It’s so fun!!!!!

Things you need:

1. Revlon Icy Violet nail polish.

2. Konad stamping kit.

3. Konad special polish white.

4. Konad stamping plate no. m15

5. Lakme color crush nail polish 26.

6. Aspeta top coat.

7. Ranara base coat.

Lets begin!

Start with a base coat to protect your natural nails.

Step One: Paint your nails with two coats of Revlon icy violet nail polish. Allow it to dry.

Step Two: Using the Konad stamping kit, Stamp the rakhi design on your nail. If you don’t know how to use the kit read my post about konad stamping kits. Try to stamp the design at the center of each nail.

Step Three: Do a french tip using the Lakme white nail polish and allow it to dry.

Step Four: Finish with a top coat to seal in the design!

Done! Haha! Yeah that’s the fun of doing nail arts with a stamping kit! No work for such a great design

Do come back for another Raksha Bandhan nail art if you think this is too easy for you

Your Konad Nail Art Kit does not work?

The Konad nail art kit came with instructions and it looked very simple..BUT when I gave it a try everything was a mess! I used up half of my Konad special nail polish to finally get it right

Sometimes the image would not stick to the stamp or to my nail or the polish would dry out! After all this hard work, I finally realized my mistakes and now it works perfectly fine!

Here’s a list of things that should help:

1.Switch off your fan: Yes, that was my biggest mistake. My nail paint would dry out very quickly and the entire image from the plate did not stick to the stamp.

2.Somebody said, “Rub your stamp on a buffer and it will work!” DO NOT DO THAT! You will just spoil your stamp. Just clean your stamp with a cotton ball soaked in nail polishremover. (Make sure you do not leave behind nail polish remover on your stamp.)

3.Be quick!Especially after you scrape the excess nail polish,quickly press the stamp on the plate in a rolling motion. Once the image is on the stamp you can slow down a bit.

4.Don’t press the stamp too hard: Just a GENTLE rolling motion is enough.

5.Do not use a bad quality top coat: Look what happened when I did..The nail paint got smudged (unfortunately I had to start again).The Konad top coat is best for this purpose.–>

The left finger has top coat on it where as the right does not

6.Hold the scraper at a 45 degree and scrape.

7.The Konad special nail polish is best for these nail arts. You can use other nail polishes but they should be opaque.

8.Don’t give up!Its difficult when you start, but once you get it right, you can finish your nail art in a matter of seconds!

How did I find the Konad nail art kit in Mumbai?

I searched for the kit at many local markets in Mumbai but nobody had it..Even the lady at a Beauty shop had no idea what I was talking about..So finally I purchased one from Jabong.com
