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.

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.

For this design, I used Sally Hansen Bride as base and stamped pattern from Pueen Love Elements collection using Wet n Wild Black Creme. Then added the black border using acrylic paints. I struggled with border lining and clean up; it was challenging. I liked the over all look of the mani though :)

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?
