For this Floral wallpaper design, I started with NYX Pastel mint as base; I am in love with this new mint shade that I recently purchased. I used white acrylic paints for leaves and for flowers used Orange, Red and dark peacock blue color polishes.

Tropical Floral nails inspired by JauntyJuli

Happy Monday morning friends! It has been a long time since I did free hand nail art. With a variety of new brushes I bought in the past few months, I felt the urge to do some freehand. Today I have freehand Tropical Floral nail art design inspired by the talented artist JauntyJuli.

I used Color Club Look Don't Tusk for the base and rest is all acrylic paints. I used my new Calligraphy brush which my buddy Setu bought for me from Malaysia. This brush is very good and made it easy for me to do the design. 

Fashion inspired nails

Hi Friends! Today I have a simple freehand design inspired by a Tshirt worn by my cousin. For this design I used my brand new Pure Color 10 brush and Sally Hansen First Blush polish. I free handed the triangles using blue, white and black polishes.  
                                  

Distressed Jeans nail art

Hi Friends! This week's theme for 'Nailthattechnique challenge' is Dry brush and I did distressed Jeans nail art inspired by Chelsea queen's nail. Check out her post here. 

For this design, I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri Brisk Blue as base and using dry brush technique I added strokes with Sinful colors Black on Black, Wet and Wild French Creme and Brisk Blue. Then using a thin brush, I painted small dashed lines using white polish. I did not have studs handy so I left the look this way and added a layer of top coat.

Ikat nail art and Twin nails

Floral nails inspired by mug

Hello All! Today's post is again another one which I did few weeks back but couldn't post. Gosh I have so many posts to do. I am already running behind the schedule. Does this happen with you all too? I seriously need to get into habit of being regular in doing posts. I guess Instagram has made me all the more lazy :)

This floral mani is inspired by mug image I saw on Google. I used Sally Hansen Pacific Blue as the base and did rest of the design using acrylic paints. I have seen that whenever I use acrylic paints towards tips and cuticles it chips off very soon. Any tips on how to fix this? 

Snowman nail art

Today's nail art is a free handed snow man design. I wanted to keep it simple and started with a blue base, used acrylic paints for snow,snowflakes and snowman. I finished the look with SV.  I was not really satisfied with the Snowman's nose but I did not have orange color handy to make it look better.

Henna nails with Sharpie

This is my second post today. Its a simple mani I did couple of weeks back but did not share. My bad I din't click good bright pics either :(

For this design, I started with Models Own Blueberry Muffin as base and apply sechevite. Then using sharpie I made random henna pattern. I waited for a good 30 minutes and then added seche vite to seal the design.

Tie and Dye nail art

Today's post is a Tie and Dye nail art design . For this design I started with a white base and used different acrylic paints to make the tie and dye print. I wasn't very happy with the end result. I feel like this is a failed mani :( What do you guys think?
