HOW TO DO STRIPES:

Hi all,

yesterday i posted a post on nails now trend. The very first popular nail trend which i mentioned is "running stripes".Doing stripes is very easy but you should have a steady hand. You can draw any  kind of lines like horizontal, vertical, diagonal. Here I am sharing with u the very easy way of making diagonal stripes.

HOW TO DO STRIPES:
1. Apply a Base Coat.
2. Apply a layer of your Favorite colour.let this layer dry completely.
3. Cut very thin strips of sticky tape and place on the nail as you wish.
4. Apply  Black nail enamel over the entire nail.
5. When almost dry remove sticky tape and Voila Pretty nails!!!

hi all,
Ovals ARE BACK!!! Longer lengths and more outrageous techniques are prevalent. Nail stickers are everywhere. The varieties are endless! On top of all this amazing goodness, progressive technologies are being used to create polish without all the toxic chemicals. 
A sign of a put together woman is one with well manicured nails. Whether that means an au natural buffed look or a lacquered bold hue, consistency is key.

GOLD AND RED NAIL ART

HI ALL.......:)
 Today i am sharing u with a mani which i did few days back on my clients hands and now its on my nails .....
but let me tell u how it comes up or what inspired me to experiment this.....

story time:

few days back , a girl around 24 years old comes to my studio. she asked me "can you do a nail art on my nails in 15 minutes, its my engagement today"  and i answered no way for engagement mani 15 mins....no chance ...she said pls do it anything fast will go.....she showed me her engagement gown.....i told her that its already 8"O" clock in the evening and my assistant has gone...i can't do it in 15 min...sorry....she become all teary...i asked her why didn't she come earlier.....the party is at 10 ...just 2 hrs left and she had to do her makeup also( her appointment to other parlor is fixed).....she said "she knows it but i just read your board and want my nails done ...pls do it ....its my big day"....i said okay i will do something fast...told her it would not be perfect but ya it will satisfy her .....when i am deciding the colors she told me that tomorrow is her wedding can I do something which also goes with her lehenga.....i asked her the wedding dress color off course its red and gold and her engagement gown color is gold......so in short my challenge is to do a two in one mani .....that too in 15-20 minutes ....without my darling assistant mala........:)
but good thing is that i have one common color to work on "Gold".
