Hello Everyone!!!

I used Caiuro #15 Orange, Artic Nude color and Max Black. I have used tons of scotch tape to create the shape. I tried using toothpick but it didn't gave me straight lines so scotch tape came to rescue. Yeah it took hours to complete the Mani as I have to wait for colors to dry so I can tape it. But those waiting was surely a worth looking at finish product. What do you think?!?

Hello Everyone!!!

Hello Everyone!!!
Happy Friday Whoop Whoop!!!! Time for throwback  nail art again and I have choose the  most adorable nail art back then from my box to share with you all. Ninja Nailart - *Hi yaaa* Who doesnt love being ninja eh?!? *PUFF* and they are gone. I am secretly Ninja too when my cell phone about to fall, I automatically get ninja power and catch it tee hee. Ninja nail art are one of the easy way to spice up your manicures. This awesome nail art is suitable for long and short nails.There are some quick way to create ninja in few minutes but this Mani took like forever to create - one reason could be I was not good with toothpick back then. But still this Ninja look cute and adorable and a little dangerous.

I used VOV white and Sonata Pink nail colors. I don't remember the name of black polish. I made a girly ninja on ring finger (that's me ^^) I first searched Google for Ninja cartoon images then choose four of them and literally try to copy them on my nails. That how I created this Mani. I don't have any trick and tips on this one. Now I think I choose the hard way. The girly Ninja just pop on my mind and I think it adds a charm whatcha say?!? I had tried to catch all the small little details. I manged to create star on ninja's hand on middle finger. Now looking at this right now I think I did quite good job considering the fact that I just used tooth pick. Hope you like this Mani and inspired  you to try it. If you recreate it then share your recreation with me on twitter and facebook with  tag #HGNinjaNails
Until then...

Hello Everyone!!

Doesnt this print is beautiful? let me make it clear that this is NOT Stamping. I made it freehand. Oh Yeah!! I love the fact that how this print has small little detail and I am so pleased that i am able to catch them all (: Paisley Print has lots of various option but  I wanted to match it with my henna design. So I made some circular and tear drop (bandana) Print.

Hello Everyone!!
As I got few request asking if I could make tutorials about Puzzle Nail Art?!? YES ofcourse. I will be glad to make tons of tutorials for you all, Just Ask!!

 Things you need
Two colors - Artic Dark Nude and Camieo Purple
Black Polish - Glamor Nail
Top Coat - True Lover
Toothpick
Scotch Tape


Step 1:
Paint on your base color. I painted 4 times straight away to give more smooth look. And make sure its completely dry to move on to next step. As we will use scotch tape for this mani - wet base coat is big  NO NO. If the color is not dry the tape will most likely pull up the base color. I waited almost 30 minutes!

Step 2:
Cut  two 3 to 4 inch long scotch tape and place it on your nails. Place a tape from cuticles to right middle down on your nails from right side. Place another tape from tip of your nails to right middle up your nails from left side. Hope the image below will make you more clear. The two tape should meet in middle creating Straight vertical and horizontal lines.
I generally use scotch tape but as it real hard to click snap of scotch tape ( it almost invisible) I have used stationery tape so that it will be easily seen.

Step 3:
Once you are satisfy with the placement of tape, paint the unshaded part of your nails (without tape parts) from purple.

Step 4:
After you painted nails with pruple wait for 5 seconds . While it still wet careful peel of the tape one at a time. you will have four rectangle shape on your nails.

 Step 5:
With the help of toothpick/dotting tools add one dot of your base color onto the square of the purple color polish.  Repeat with the other purple colored rectangle . Repeat with your purple color on top of your base color. I hope the images explains better. As you can see the paint is thick and bubbled up but once its dry it will be flat and look perfectly like a puzzle piece.

Step 6 :
Now this is optional step. You can outline the edges from black. I think outlining gives more detail look! after you done with outline add a top coat for beautiful shine and vanish all the bumps.


Finish Product
 

That it!! if you got any excess polish on your fingers you can remove that with nail polish remover. If you try out these puzzle nails I would love to see your recreation. Share it with me on twitter or Facebook page and tag it with #hgnaildesign!!

But my personal favorite is STEAM. Yes you will require hot boiling water!! 
 Apply nail polish of your choice as fast as you can. I choose black
 Carefully place your hand above the boiling water so that nail colors could catch the steam. Be careful don't get too closer or else you will burn yourself! 
Wait for few seconds and pull away your hands.
And there you will have matte polish instantly.

Final Product:
Please do share you re-creation with me if you make your own matte polish using this technique.

Hello Everyone!!!

Hello Everyone!!!
I am still wearing my Monster design and  thinking hard what to paint next. Lots of ideas are popping in but too much of them really confuse me!! As I am trying to post very frequently I thought of sharing some design from my hidden treasure -Yes its throwback time. I am quite excited about this Mani as I have not share this kind of design on my blog so far. Gradient Nail Art -  when two or more colors blend in to create a gradient effect. I truly believe Gradient manicure are  perfect for all occasion. You just need right color to blend in. It add a stylish touch to all of your outfits (Little Mix and match)

Gradient technique is a great way to add a charm on your nails.You will need two colors to blend ,make-up sponge and a top coat. I Used MAX shiny yellow then I dab some shiny blue polish on it (I dont remember the name  -.-") As I dab blue on yellow it turn into green - fun right? That how gradient works. You mix two color colors and invent new colors ;)

First Painted my nails with shiny yellow then let it dry completely, drop blue polish on plastic sheet then dab sponge on it and dabbed sponge back on my nails. Perfecting the gradient nails does not happen instantly but as there is no right or wrong way, little practice is required to master this method. Hope you give a try to this technique !!!
See Ya!!!
