Start with a base coat to protect your natural nails.

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

This is one of the sexiest violet colored nail polish I own.Revlon sells a similar colored lipstick too(called the icy violet lipstick)

Here are some swatches of Revlon Icy violet 768 nail polish

Pros:

• This is a cool deep purple with blue iridescent shimmer that flashes in the light. I only needed two coats.
• The brush is long and bristles spread out evenly to give you a good manicure.
• Chip resistant.(most of the polish did not chip for a week)
• I own this polish since a long time,luckily it did not turn dry like other polishes.
• It does not stain nails.
• Color is exactly similar to the bottle.

Cons: 

• I’m not sure if this color is available in India.(I purchased it from US,so if you live in USA and wish to buy this nail paint you will find it here.)
• The polish on my tips started to chip away in a day(very little chipping though).

Will I use again?

Of course! I told you it’s my favourite shade of violet!! The blue shimmer just steals my heart! I will surely buy this product again. Will also love to try the icy violet lipstick

Rhinestones are easily available in india and are one of the easiest way to do a nail art..but there are so many types of rhinestones its easy to get confused..here are a few ways I like to do a rhinestone nail art.

Things you need:

1. Violet nail polish.

2. Rhinestones.

3. Top coat (essential)

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

Step Two: Pick rhinestone with the help of a toothpick or tweezers and stick them on your nail as you like.( I’ve shown few ways of arranging them below)

Step Three: Applying top coat is essential or else the rhinestone will fall off.

Here are a few ways I love to arrange my rhinestone:

1. Vertical studs: Just arrange some square rhinestone in a vertical line along the centre of your nail. You can use golden studs arranged in this manner over a black polish for a gothic look.

2. French tip: All of us have tried french tips using nail polish, but a rhinestone french tip takes it to another level! You can use almost all types of rhinestone for this arrangement.

3.Single stone: A single rhinestone looks the most elegant in my opinion. You can either arrange it at the base of your nail or to a particular side(similar to the way we attached it earlier in the desidime and lace nail arts) .Any type of rhinestone can be used for this arrangement.

4. Diagonal: A diagonal line is one of the most common ways to arrange rhinestones. Circular rhinestones look best for a diagonal line. This type of arrangement is usually done with a diagonal french tip. It looks stunning!

5.Side french tip: The most recent and popular way of doing french tips is the side french tip. I did a side french tip using multicoloured rhinestones of different types.

6.Fill the nail: In this type of arrangement the entire nail is filled with rhinestone leaving very little space for anything! It looks like shiny caviar nails! Circular rhinestone are mostly used for this type of arrangement but you can use others if you prefer. I like to fill my ring finger with stones when I’m doing a matte nail art. It looks visually stunning to combine the shine of the stones with the matte polish!

These nail arts are so easy anyone can do them!

Which is your favourite way to do a rhinestone nail art?
