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.

Flower Bunch

I wanted to finally try stamping all over again after putting it away down under in my nail art kit box because I failed to make/stamp the patterns properly.

I painted my toe nails light turquoise color nail polish. And I chose a simple flower pattern which has 3 cute flowers in different sizes. I used black polish for the flowers and I repeatedly stamped over the big toes. The repeatedly stamping created this not-so-perfect-but-pretty mani. I liek how the flowers didnt turn out to perfect but the was like some faded ones and some real black ones.

Check the picture out..

What do you think of this mani ?

Fusion Peacock

My very first nail art design was using a hair pin and it turned out to look like some sort of peacock feather pattern. I did it for my cultural Indian clothing - Saree.

So, here is the picture of my first nail art picture.

My friend wanted the peacock nail art. And I did something similar but changed a little, added some fusion to it. I really like how the mani turned out. Closed up picture clearly shows the colors used and I just love it.

Tell me what you think.
