NOTD: Bourjois 10 days Nail Enamel in Shade No 23

Aren't you bored of brights and neons and glitters already? I know I am... Since the past 2-3 seasons, the Nail trends have been repeating themselves, calling themselves different each time but actually being the same ol' same ol'... Hence imagine my excitement when I spotted this Taupey-greenish-grey shade at the Bourjois counter at Kunchal's in Delhi... I just had to have it! :P

Price:
It costs a freaking INR 380/-

But it looks so classy and DIFFERENT!

How do you like this off-beat shade?

#MetallicNails #F/W2012

Now Vogue and Grazia have only been harping on how huge metallic nails are this season... Now I for one do like to look at glossy magazine pages strewn with metallic nail polish laden hands and nails but when it comes to my own manicures that I need to sport everyday, I generally prefer my brights and that too no metal. So how does one strike a balance between the trending nail fad and one's fav (and comfortable) manicure habit?

I kinda found a way in between :P and am quite happy with the result :D

Bare Nails Simple Dotted NOTD & Tutorial

Another Dotted design nail art; Seems like the blog is being flooded by nail art posts.

Read: Simple & Elegant Dotted Nail Art: Photo Tutorial

Another dotted design on my short nails. This is very very easy. You will need just one color of your choice and a transparent base/top coat. I have selected a maroon color shade for drawing the dots. The dots to be drawn in this design are very tiny. So, a tooth prick is a must.

Instructions:

Step 1:
Prepare your nails for holding the designed paint. After you have applied the transparent shiny clear color on your nails, wait until it dries completely.

Step 2:

Draw a line of dots on the tip of your nails. Be careful to draw tiny dots. Leave enough gaps between the dots.

Step 3:
After the first line of dots is dry, draw a second line of dots immediately after the first line. Now, the dot of the second line should lie in between the dots of the first line. (Refer the pic.)

Step 4:
After the second set of dots are dry, draw a cluster of 4 dots in the form of a diamond at the middle of the nail. Do not bother if you make a mess in drawing this cluster. Below the cluster of 4 dots, place another single tiny dot.

Done.

The design seems like something hanging from the tip of the nail. (Personal assumption).

You could also top the entire work with a coat of clear color. I usually avoid the application of top coat.

Editor's Note: That is a very simple and elegant nail art Chand :) Loved it.

Simple & Elegant Dotted Nail Art: Photo Tutorial

MABH 400 Followers Celebration Contest Entry Post 2 by Chand

Hi…. all ladies…..!!!!!!

I should greet all nail art lovers today. This is a very simple nail art. I have very short nail base. I have always envied ladies with long nails. It is a boon which I always wish to demand. Yet, I have somehow managed with my short stout nails for so many years. There is no much scope for lot of designs on short nails. Out of so many years of experience with short nails, I have found that short nails are comfortable with dotted designs. So, today's nail design will comprise of several colorful dots.

Let the pictures do the maximum explanation of this simple and elegant dotted nail design.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1:

After preparing the nails for the painting, I applied base color on the nails. This is my all time favorite color.

Step 2:

Next, place two dark brown dots on the base color, first near the tip of the nail and second right below the first dot. Make sure the base is completely dry. The brown dots can be done with the brush that comes along with the nail enamel bottle.

Step 3:

Now, a very light shaded pink dots on the brown dots. The pink dots are to be smaller than the brown dots. So, I used a tooth pick to draw the tiny pink dots.

Step 4:

After the dots are dry, take a reddish brown nail color, again on the tooth prick tip. Draw 2 dots, one in between the dark brown dots, another after the second brown dots. (Hope, I am sounding fine. Well, the next pic should explain my words!!). After the whole dotted structure has dried perfectly, surround the entire structure with another most light colored skin color.

There goes the final structure of dots. Done. Optionally, you could top it with a coat of clear color.
