Black and White Challenge Day 8

Hello,

This is my eighth post for the Black and White Nail Challenge. The theme for today's nails was to create a manicure using Sponge. I apologize for uploading this tutorial late as I had the most busy day yesterday and came home very late and was too tired to work on a mani and upload it. 


For this, I applied 2 coats of Essie Blanc. After it dried I mixed a little Wet N WIld Black Cream with Essie Blanc to give it a very light grey shade and sponged it. I repeated this step again a couple of times every time increasing its intensity by adding a little more black polish. In the end I sponged the tips using the same black polish. It gives it a gradient look.

Valentine's Day Nails 12

Hello,

This is my twelfth and last post of the Valentine's Day series. For this design you will need acrylic colors, brushes and red glitter. I had so much fun doing this design and I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya LC. On my accent finger I drew a teddy using acrylic paints. I followed the same layering steps as in my sixth Valentine's Day nails ( Click sixth if you want to see a layering tutorial). On my other fingers and thumb I applied chunky red glitter.

Valentine's Day Nails 6

Hello,

This is my sixth post of the Valentine's Day series. I want to start this post by thanking Leslie of Polish Art Addiction. I have learned so much from her blog specially cartoon themed nail art. If you want to look  at more cartoon nail art then click on the link above.

For this, I uploaded a step by step tutorial for you. I did not get it right the first time I tried. Heard of a phrase "Practice makes you perfect" well I am no where near perfect but with practice I did improved a little.
