Tribalastic

Yesterday was my friend, Vinota's birthday. She came over to get herself pampered with some mani on her beautiful long nails. She precisely requested turquoise, blue and purple as it's her favorite colors. She also wanted tribal nail art on her nails.


Not many girl that I know likes playing with colors and doing mani which are not their cup of tea. She wanted tribal nail art on her nails to be different. When I say different, I mean all 10 fingers different.

It was a challenge for me - to create different tribal designs on each of her fingers.

And the ideas just kept flowing to the nails as I started drawing.

Step to do this mani :
1. Paint base coat to nail.
2. Choose/Paint a color that is similar to nail color. I chose a soft beige color.
3. Once completely dried, I did sponging to the nails with three different colors. I used a regular sponge or
    you can use any type of sponge you like to use. Try using different types of sponge to know which one
    you prefer to use.
4. Once the colors from the sponging have dried, use black acrylic paint to make the designs to make a
    tribal. And, use a fine thin brush for this. make dots, triangles and lines  to create tribal design.
5. Once done and dried, apply top coat to secure the design.

Broken Lane of Silver Moon

I wanted to do something really different than the nail art I have done. I wanted something that look neat and has little wow effect. I love how this mani turned out.

Steps to make this mani :
1. paint base coat.
2. Paint base color with a dark turquoise green polish ( appeared blue color when I took the picture )
3. Then make a half moon shape at the top ( near the cuticle ) of the nail using silver polish.
4. Use a black shatter polish and paint a line on the centre of the nail.
5. Add yellow dots and then use a blue stripper polish to make the outer lines of the shatter lines.
6. Secure mani with top coat.
