Happy Weekend fellas! Today I have Radial fern nail art for you guys. This was one of the themes for Nail That Technique Challenge and I did this a few weeks back. This design is nice and bright; perfect for summers :)

I used Models Own Bikini and Street Wear Blue My Eyes to make the radial/circular gradient. Then using Nail Matinee NM03 plates, I stamped the ferns pattern. To complete the look I added a layer of Seche Vite.

Floral Glitter tint nails for Nail That Technique Challenge

Hello All! Its been long time since I blogged. I was on a short trip to my home town - Hyderabad and am back now. I wish holidays never ended :)

Today's post is Flora Glitter Tint Nails for Nail That Technique challenge. This design is inspired by gorgeous nail art created by Crazypolishes. Check out her design.

For this design I used Maybelline Colorshow Glittermania Dazzling Diva as base, then using Colorbar mini neon set I made random brush strokes. These neons are sheer and can be used as tints. I added a layer of SV and then stamped floral pattern from my Pueen Encore set using Konad Black special polish. To complete the look, I added another layer of SV. 

I loved this design, it looked beautiful. I just couldn't stop looking at my nails althrough :)

Floral Fan brush nail art for Nail that technique challenge

Hi fellas! Today I have Floral Fan brush nail art for you guys. Fan brush technique was the theme for this week's challenge. I have never done nail art using fan brush before. This is my first attempt and I really liked the end result.

I started by painting all my nails with Maybelline Colorshow Blueberry ice. Then I dipped the fan brush in blobs of Sally Hansen Insta Dri Blue Me Away and Sinful colors White on White and drew random lines on all nails. Using Konad Special black polish and Pueen encore plate I stamped the floral patterns. To complete the look I added glitters and sealed the design with Seche Vite top coat.

Hi buddies! Today's design is Pond manicure for 'Nail that technique' challenge.

To complete the design, I added a layer of Seche Vite top coat.

Floral Newspaper print nails

Hey buddies! How are you all doing? Hope you had a lovely weekend.

Last week's theme for 'Nail that technique' challenge was Newspaper print. I was excited for this theme but when I actually attempted to do it, I struggled getting a good newspaper print on my nails. My nail buddies suggested not to use topcoat(matte topcoat can be used) and attempt for newspaper print and it was a success.

I used Revlon Matte and Shiny Emerald Suede as base and did the newspaper print over it. I used floral decals and placed them randomly. Then added top coat to seal the design. I loved this design and received lot of compliments too.  This nail art was inspired by Vintage Newspaper print nails by my nail buddy Setu.

Scaled Gradient for Nail that technique challenge

Hi friends! How are you all doing? I had a busy weekend; too many things to catch up with.

Last week's theme for 'Nail that technique' challenge was Scaled gradient. Boy this technique gave me hard time. I tried doing it atleast thrice and failed each time. I din't wanna give up and kept looking at SimplyNailogical youtube videos to get a hang of it . Finally I gave a fourth try and I am happy I did it. I still need to work hard on my clean up part. Hope some day I will get to it perfectly.

I used Models own Polish for Tans Flip Flop and Street wear Lady Blue Eyes for the gradient.

                                     

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.

Garden nail art using stamping decal technique

Hello friends! This week has been real busy, too many things to catch up at work and home. As you all know I have been actively participating in 'Nailthattechnique' challenge and this week's theme is stamping decal. I was looking forward for this week's challenge as I have always struggled placing the stamping decal; some of my previous attempts of making decals are here and here.

This is my attempt for the challenge. I used my long pending unused Moyou London Mother Collection 01 plate for the decals. I am really happy with my attempt this time although I found placing the decal and clean up process a bit challenging. The dents and bumps are clearly visible.
Despite this, I feel confident and I am sure if I try this technique a few times the final result would be nice and smooth.

                                            

Syrup Gradient nails with stamping

Hello Friends! One of the themes for Nail that technique challenge was Syrup gradient. I tried this technique on practice wheels and failed miserably. I was not confident about this technique and kept looking for tutorials. Dimpal from Crazypolishes made a video tutorial - http://youtu.be/Ptb9USSCyb0 on how to do syrup gradients.

For this design, I started with white base and used Colorbar Neon Pina Colada and DIY Blue sheer tint for the gradient. I used the first technique from the video that is used brush from tip towards the middle of nail.

Blobbicure nail art

Hey Fellas! How have you been? We have an interesting challenge hosted by Indian Lacquer Lovers group. This week's theme is Blobbicure. This is the first time I ever tried this technique. Its nice and simple. 

I used Colorbar Metallics Starry Night as base and added blobs of Barry M Silver foil while the base was still wet. I waited till everything was semi dry and then applied Seche Vite.
