Summer Hot Tribal

I made this tribal nails for my friend for her Diwali as her theme for this year was orange, red and black. So I did the usual base which was the sponging effect with tri colors.

And then used a black acrylic paint to draw the tribal patterns out.

Check the pictures out and drop me a comment of what you think about this nail art ...?

Tribalism




Tribal became my signature art as many of my friends wanted the tribal nail art with the gradient or sponging background as the base color.

I have done this base color three times already. More pictures on that coming soon. Just keep reading my blog.

For this mani I used purple, turquoise and dark blue polish from Elianto.

I use a black acrylic paint from Chromacrylic to draw the tribal patterns with my detail brush.

And, this mani is simple and very easy to do.

Try 'em out  folks!

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.

Green Gold Tribal

The place I stay here in Medan, Indonesia is at a hostel cum house like place. The owner lives in the same parameter as I we do too. I mentioned we as in me and my other Malaysia friends who are medical and dentistry faculty. The rest are Indonesian girls. One of the girl was graduating and I didn't knew about this till the time I was about to do her nails - when she showed her graduation traditional kebaya wear. It was a deep dark green with gold details.

I chose a dark green polish and a gold polish. She requested for a simple tribal art on her nails. 

Steps to make this mani :
1. Apply base coat to cleaned, shaped and buffered nails.
2. Paint the dark green polish.
3. Paint some patterns/line/half moon shapes on the nails.
4. Add some lines and dots and that makes tribal nails.
5. Secure the mani with a top coat.

Blue Tribal

After the tribal I did, Neon Summerblast, my friend, Suhana asked for a tribal mani. I was thinking of using just few colors instead of the many colors I used for my earlier mani.

I used two shades of blue and I used acrylic paint in Black to draw on some lines and dots to create a tribal pattern.

This tribal mani was simple and has lots of details on the main toe.

This is my favorite tribal so far.

Check the picture out.

Tell me what you think of this mani.

Thanks for reading.
