NAIL ART TIMES POST 2

JUST FOR A LAUGH

HOW TO PREVENT CHIPPING NAIL POLISH

hi all,

no body likes chipped nails. so to avoid chip nails follow these steps:

Tip #1: Make sure nails are super clean, Natural oils on your nails aid in chipping. Even if your nails are polish-free, apply white vinegar to a piece of cotton wool and wipe over the nails to get rid of oils on the surface of nails. Pure Alcohol also does the trick. Use a body scrub and nail brush, brush the nail surface well with warm water and make sure to wash off well. Dry nails well.Tip #2: Prep nails with a base coat Polish will adhere best to nails prepped with a base coat. A base coat is like a double sided tape, on the one side it adheres to the nail plate and the other side holds the colour on the nail. Base coat stops nails from staining!!

Something Fun and Different to do with your nail polish

Something Fun and Different to do with your nail Polish........
STEP-BY-STEP BOBBY PINS
I am sure you have all of these items already, and I'm betting most of you at least have bobby pins and half-finished bottles of nail polish.

For the nail polish pins: Slide bobby pins onto a card or piece of aluminum foil to keep the two sides from sticking together. Paint two or three coats of polish on each side, then finish with a layer of clear top coat. I recommend painting one side, then waiting at least 12 hours for it to dry completely before flipping the pin & foil over and painting the other side.

NAIL PIERCING NAIL ART

What Is a Nail Piercing?

A nail piercing is a piercing that is done to the nail. These types of piercings are unique in that they do not involve any pain. After a piercing is completed, a piece of jewelry can be inserted through the resulting hole for decoration. A nail piercing is best done on artificial nails and can contribute to a person's image. Anyone interested in a nail piercing should avoid performing the piercing himself or herself and should consult a professional piercer.

Nail piercings can, hypothetically, be placed on any nail. Some nails, however, are more hospitable to jewelry than others. The nails on the little finger and the ring finger can provide a good place for a nail piercing, because these fingers are usually used less than the others, and less use of the pierced nail minimizes the potential for damage. Piercing a nail on either of these fingers can look more feminine than the alternatives, if that look is desired.

HI ALL,
 While looking for inspiration for future nail designs, I stumbled upon these images of Ciate's latest creation: Caviar nails.

 Caviar nails first appeared last fall during the edgy Cushnie et Ochs’ runway show, and have been on nail art lovers’ radars ever since.UK nail polish brand, Ciate, has decided to make achieving the look even easier with their innovative “Caviar Manicure” kits. The kits are a one-stop-shop as they consist of a nail lacquer and beads. Presently, you have your pick of three colors – multi (rainbow), white (mother of pearl), and black (black pearls). We’re sure more hues will be offered as demand increases. The kits will be available in the US this April at your friendly, neighborhood Sephora.

7 Deadly Sins Of Beauty Tag ...

HI ALL,

wow! seriously its a wow feeling............i am just few days old in this blog world and i am tagged by two lovely bloggers Dimpal and Neisha............thanks both of you have make me feel so special and confident that i am on cloud nine........and hey friends do check their blogs they have so many interesting post that you can't resist following them...:)

first the questions:

Q.What is your most inexpensive beauty product you love and why?

A. i recently fell in love with the Tip n Toes mini nail enamels (rs 40), they have beautiful colors and super good staying power.

Q.What is your most expensive beauty product you love and why?

A. my most expensive beauty product is my TIGI Bed Head Serum - Control Freak because it helps me get a straight-up glossy finish in my hair.

Q. which beauty product you have love and hate relationship with and why?

A. red lipstick, whenever i see someone with red lips i apply red lipstick but removes it immediately because i can't carry red lipstick on myself.

MANICURE IDEA 2: THE CUTE LITTLE BOW

HI ALL..... To create this look I painted my nails with tip-n-toes mini nail polish in rose,03 and draw stripes with silver glitter nail art pen, Konad. after drying i applied topcoat from L.A. colors and placed acrylic pink bow (bought from bornprettystore)on my ring finger with the help of tweezers. after pink bow sets i applied topcoat again. pics of the manicure:

IMPORTANCE OF CUTICLE OIL.

Cuticle oil is of great importance for a person who has panache for great looking fingers and nails. It is mainly used to keep ones cuticles in great shape. Nowadays, women hardly have any time and are too busy juggling between their professional and personal lives to take extensive care of their hands, which definitely form an integral part of one's personality. Cracked and splintered nails and cuticles look awful and often lead to low self esteem and confidence. Just imagine if you have an important client meeting or a wedding to attend and you have cracked cuticles, how would you feel? A sexy red nail polish on your long nails would not help you go too far if the root of your nails which is the cuticle, is not healthy and is cracked.
