Upbeat Nails | Nail Art Blog: gradient technique

Hello Everyone!!! Hope you weekend going well (:

Michael Jackson - This name need no introduction. He is a legend and always will remains as King Of Pop. His music inspire and entertain us. Its heartbreaking that we lost a great musician. Though MJ is not with us but he will always live in our thought and prayers. As coming Thursday 27th August is MJ birthday I thought of giving a tribute to him through my art. I absolutely feel honored doing so. Today Mani is inspired from King of Pop and dedicated to all of his fans!

What do you think? I know its no near perfection but I am quite pleased with the Final product. It turn out exactly how I imagined off. I was planning about this Mani for long. I wanted to tribute him on the day he died but unfortunately miss the opportunity. So this time I am a step ahead and post it quite early.

I used Bloom Red,Charm Limit Black 07 and White 06 and Mode Love Top Coat. I gradient my nails with red and black then started to add the design. I wrote MJ and made a crown above it on my index finger, for middle finger I simply wrote the years when He was born and passed away and lastly on my ring finger I choose to showcase his famous "moonwalk" step (its doesnt look like though -.-")

I love working with shadow design because I dont have to make small details but at other hand it is expressive enough to visualize the design. I did lots of paper work for it. I collected some shadow image of MJ then I draw it on paper until I was satisfied. It get quite easily to paint on your nails then. There you know my little secret ;)

I hope you like today Mani and it somehow inspired you. Let me know on the comment below and do share your favorite MJ song with me (:

See Ya...

Hello Everyone!!! Happy Friendship Day to You all. ((:

Today is International Friendship Day- day when you cherish the moments and memories with your friend. As its kind of special day I thought of making a special Mani perfect for celebrating it. So I have very cute and colorful nail art to share with. I wanted my Mani to reflect the bond of friendship. I Googled pics related to friendship day and got inspired to transform them into my nails. I hope you like them (:

What do you think?!? I am totally satisfied with this Mani. Its fun and did reflect the friendship theme. I have used Cairuo #08 Orange, Cairuo #20 Green Tea, Cairuo #15 Orange, Cairuo #16 Blueberry for the gradient, Charm limit White 06, Black 07, Bloom Red and Mode Love 06 Top Coat.

I wanted colorful base for this mani for which gradient was perfect technique. When you have good friend in life- it automatically becomes colorful and fun isnt it?!? I applied white base, waited 5 minutes then gradient with sponge and quickly appliedquick top coat and let it dry completely. Then with my trustee toothpick dip in respective colors I start off painting the design. I already had idea on my mind so it didn't took me much time to create this.It Just went with flow.

Starting off with Thumb I wrote "Friend Forever" and added two little love, Two big heart shape in index finger, bunch of cool friends in middle ( its a shadow image of group of cute little people I Googled. Let say that me and my bestie), in ring finger I wrote "BFF" inside heart and finally on pinky I wrote "Hugs with lots of xoxo's".

Let me know what do you think about this Mani in comment below and let your friends know you treasure them.Virtual hugs to everyone. Happy freindship day once again. Have a nice day!

See Ya!!

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!!!

Hi Ladies!!

Once upon time there lived a "Angel" who fell in love with the "Devil". Devil had dark power so it was black. but Angel LOVE Devil so much the Devil slowly start to turn good and became angel with black wings no halo,and they lived happily ever after :')

Hello There! I suck at story telling, aint I? *sigh*

Alrighty This nail art does't tell any story i just made myself . But it does have fairy tale theme - Heart ,halo, wings and horn and tales. Confused?? let me show you pic and hope you get it ;)

Who does not want a happy ending? This mani has happy ever after theme. what do you think? The idea for this mani just popped up in my head out of nowhere. So I quickly took my nail polish and start painting off which gradually ended being a story. I hope you like this mani.
See Ya!

Hello There!!!

Its A Freaking Cold winter. Temperature drop to minus and there is big thick blanket of fog outside . I miss the sun and the beautiful sunset. So to quench my thirst for warm weather I painted my nails with this mani. I do feel warm Oh yeah (just saying)

What do you think? I mostly gradient the background. Then with help of my trustee toothpick I created tree, boat and birds. It even give beach theme with never ending blue ocean. I love the final outcome Hope you like it too. If you try this at home then do share with me.

Hiya lovely people!!.

Leopard Print - that's something every nail art lover's love. Its Chic,Stylish and on fashion always! Leopard-print nails are fun, and one of the easiest "fancy" manicures. All the painting is done freehand

I gradient the back ground then with toothpick dipped in black polish I just drew some random brackets[( )]

Let it dry before finishing with a top coat. Be creative; make your lines wavy and messy!

Hello Everyone!

Don't have perfect Halloween dress to wear this season????? why not try a perfect Manicure instead?

This is the final design I am going to wear for this festival. I ma so satisfied with how it turned out. So spooky spirit!

This nail features spiders,mummy, cemetery, haunted house and pumpkin. Everything that makes people's hair stand at the back of the neck. I mostly gradient the background with orange,black and yellow colors and everything else is made with just using tooth pick!
