 Well, I was secretly waiting for this challenge because I wanted to dedicate this nail art to my jiju Bhavik  He recently gave me a gift which I always saw and adored at one particular store but never bothered to buy  So I had decided to do a nail art inspired by this cute gift! You might want to see it before you see my nail art (and probably die out of jealousy that I have such a great jiju :P)

Yup! I’m gonna do a frog nail art using the colour green

Things you need:

1. Green nail polish.

2. Base coat.

3. Black nail polish.

4. A very thin paint brush.

5. Top coat.

6. Toothpick or dotting tool.

Step One: Apply base coat to protect your natural nails and make your frog pop!

Step Two: Do a small semi-circle using the green polish at the tip of your nail. Repeat another coat if necessary. Allow it to dry

Step Three: Do two large dots of green polish on the semi circle you just made (see image) . These large green dots are for the eyes of the frog. You can use a dotting tool or toothpick to make these eyes.

Step Four: Using a thin brush dipped in black polish outline the eyes and semi circle.

Step Five: Do two small vertical lines below the eyes. 

Step Six: Using a dotting tool or toothpick dipped in black nail polish, do two smaller dots in the eyes.

Personally, I never like to paint my nails yellow (they look as if I have jaundice ) . But anything for this nail art challenge  I decided to do this honey-bee nail art using yellow polish.

Things you need:

1. Yellow nail polish.

2. Black nail polish.

3. White nail polish.

4. Striper brush or paint brush.

5. Toothpick or Dotting tool.

6. Top coat.

Step One: Paint you nails with two coats of yellow nail polish. Allow to dr 

Step Two: Using a black striper polish or a thin paint brush draw 3-4 lines on your nail. Leave more space at the tip of your nail. I used a paint brush dipped in black nail polish but you can use a striper nail polish. Try to make the lines straight and equidistant.

Step Three: Using a toothpick or dotting tool dipped in black nail polish do two large dots at the tip of each nail.

Step Four: Using another toothpick dipped in white polish do two small dots inside the large dots.

Step Five: Apply top coat to protect your nail and and make it shine

Products used for this nail art:

1.Konad Special Nail Polish – Pastel Yellow

It’s so easy and quick right? If you love yellow nail polish I’m sure you will try this nail art for sure:)

I would have loved to do this same nail art using striper tape but unfortunately I don’t have any right now! I recently ordered a pair of striper tapes from bornprettystore.com . I had a hard time searching for these super thin tapes! It makes me mad when Indian e-commerce websites hardly sell any good nail art products! The best I can find are Konad kits which too are available on few websites only. I really wish they start selling other fancy stuff which I’m dying to buy! Anyways, I can’t wait to receive my newly ordered products and try them!

This nail art is basically a tiger print done on an orange base coat..it looks very complex but is easy to do

Things you need:

1. Orange nail polish

2. Black nail polish

3. Paint brush,should be very thin (I used 000 size)

4. Top coat

Step One: Do two coats of your orange nail polish and allow it to dry..I’ve used a peach-ish orange because I love this polish You can use a brighter orange or any shade of orange you like.

Step Two: Take a small amount of black nail polish on a plate so that its easier to dip your brush. The brush I have used here is a camlin 000.

Step Three: Make a long stroke from one end of you nail to the other. Apply more pressure when you start doing the stroke and lift your brush gradually when you reach the other end. It should look like a long thin triangle. Try to do it in a single stroke for a more uniform look.

Step Four: Make another stroke from the opposite side of the nail. In short you have to make a criss-cross pattern of long thin triangles.

It’s ok if you can’t do perfectly straight strokes( it’s not necessary).Also don’t leave too much space between two strokes.

Step Five: Apply top coat to protect your tiger print nail art

Products used for this nail art:

1.Florelle Easy Flo Nail Polish FL 241 – 713

3.Loreal color riche black swan nail polish.

Which animal print nail art do you like?

Step Three: Now take some black nail polish on a plate and outline the red hearth shaped curve with the help of a toothpick or brush. Draw a small line from the centre of the curve so that it looks like a stem of the fruit. I did a little curly stem on my ring finger Allow the polish to dry.

Step Four: Using a toothpick dipped in green polish make a small leaf on the stem.

Step Five: Using a toothpick or brush dipped in white nail polish,do an exclamatory mark(!) on one end of your apple. This will make your apple shine

With this post I introduce a new nail art technique called nail taping

Nail taping is basically using a tape to do your designs..its very easy..but can sometimes be time consuming.. 

Here’s how you do this simple nail art using tape:

Things you need:

1. Your favourite nail polish. I have used a purple shade.

2. Cello Tape or Scotch tape.

3. Black nail polish.

4. Bright nail polishes of your choice.

5. Toothpick.

6. Top coat.

Step One: Paint your nails with your favourite nail polish. Do two coats if needed. Allow it to dry.

Step Two: Take a Scotch tape and cut it into triangles. You will need 3-4 such triangles depending on your nail size.

Step Three: Stick the tape triangles to your nail such that a zigzag is formed(see image)

Step Four: Colour the left over tip of the nail with black nail polish. Wait for the polish to dry then just pull the tape off..You can see that a star burst is formed

Repeat for all nails.

Step Five: Using a toothpick fill in the star using a nice bright coloured nail polish.This is optional..I like the coloured star rather than an all black star.Make sure you leave a little black border.

Step Six: Apply top coat for long lasting nail art.

Star burst nail art is ready As I always say its OK to be messy! Clean any mistakes with a cotton bud dipped in nail polish remover.

Important:

1. Allow your base coat to dry completely before applying cello tape or else the nail polish will stick to the tape and you will have to start again.

2. It is OK if your stars are not of the same size.

3. Applying top coat helps the nail paint from chipping. Also it gives a smooth shiny finish to your nail art.

4. I used the same tape triangle again and again so that uniform stars are formed(also because I’m lazy )

Have you tried nail taping before? Are there any particular designs you would like me to do?

You can always purchase a matte top coat which quickly turns your regular polish into matte, but why spend money when you can do the same thing at home

Procedure one:

Take a regular polish in a mixing dish. Take equal quantity of cornflour and mix it with the polish using a toothpick…Apply this mixture and you will see that it gives a matte finish!!

Procedure two:

Apply your regular polish and while its still wet sprinkle some cornflour on it(Make sure you cover the entire nail with cornflour).This process is something similar with what we did in the salt nail art but here,instead of using salt we use cornflour. Allow the polish to dry and then hold your finger under running water. You will see that your polish looks matte now

Procedure three:

Take an old bottle of top coat and add cornflour to the bottle with the help of a toothpick..Shake it well.

This can be used exactly like the matte top coat available in markets..

Procedure four:

Apply one coat of your polish and let it dry..Apply another coat and while it’s still wet, hold it on top of boiling water for few minutes. Make sure you don’t burn yourself, so do this carefully

The steam makes your regular polish turn matte!!magical right?

So if you are bored while boiling water for your tea, just grab your nail polish and start your matte manicure Saves a lot of time!

These are four simple techniques which can be done quickly!

Do you know of any other ways to convert regular polish to matte? Let me know in the comments below

Red hot:A bright red nail paint looks very hot!It matches all Indian skin tones.Perfect for a date or wedding.Matt or metalic red is my favourite

Tip:a bold red- looks good on tan skin

A bright red with a little shimmer in it- looks good on pale skin

Lady pink:Pink is a must!Its feminine and cool.Fairer skin tones can opt for brighter shades of pink or baby pinks.Brown or tan skin tones should avoid very loud or bright shades.Pinks can also be used for making flowers on french manicures(they do look very cute and feminine)

Neutral brown: Looks very classy with formals.Its perfect for occasions when you dont need too much glamour!Chocolate brown is the colour that goes well with all skin tones.

White and clear:White is mainly used for french maicures..but it can also be used for flowers and dots.Clear nail paint is also maily used in french manicur..but can also be used as top coat to give your nails a nice shiny finish

You can always match your nail paint to your outfit but sometimes its just not possible to do so…that is when these must have nail paints come to your rescue

This is my list of nail polish must haves, what’s yours?
