Green & Black Striped Nail Art Tutorial & NOTD

MABH 400 Followers Celebration Contest Entry Post 3 by Bhavna Pande
 
Aloha everyone….
I am a nail art fan.Though I don’t have long nails they tend to break a lot so I keep them small  but I have always been a fan of longggggg nails.
Here I am about to do a simple yet cool nail art design it is very easy and you can try various designs using just any tape. This design looks great on both long as well as short nails. Hope you like it.

Things you will need:

• A green nail colour
• A dark black nail colour
• Tape & scissors 

Note: (You can alternatively use shades as your wish to get a different colour combination)


Step 1 :
Paint your nails with green color (you can you any color you like but my favorite color is green, so I have used that one here) Let it dry completely or the end result will be messy.

Step 2 :
Take tape and scissor and cut various sizes of the  tape and put it on your nails not covering the whole nail as we will repaint upon the tape to make a design. I have put a cross design on my nail by cutting the tape into two parts.

Step 3 :
Apply the second nail paint over your entire nail even on the tape..I have used black nail paint here .I somehow like the combination of green and black but you can try it with any other nail color .Just ensure the you use one light and one dark shade .

Step 4 :
After the nail polish has dried completely remove the tape .
TA DAH …see my design

Please do let me know whether you like this simple nail or not and also help me with growing long nails without breakage. Any tips???

Price: 2.99$

Shade: Colorless Xtras Glitter Top Coat

Product Description: 17 Nail Xtras Glitter Top Coat can be used over a colour or on its own for a fabulous glitter effect.

Price: 3.99$


There is usually an offer of 3 on 2 on Boots 17 which means that one can get one free on purchase of 2 products.

My views on the 17 Nail Paints:

Frankly speaking, these are the best nail paints I have used so far. I have not seen a more pigmented, glossier, fast drying and long lasting nail paints till date.

These came as a free gift to me as I purchased few products from 17 brand during Christmas sale. The shades are not anything that I chose but all the 3 nail paints are quite precious to me at present. All these 3 belong to few of the range of nice nail paints that Boots 17 offers.

The Risky Red is a glossy matte blood red color that belongs to 17 High Shine range and is very opaque and finishes with a brilliant shine on the nails. 

Night Sky is a glossy matte black shade that falls in the 17 Fast Finish range and it dries quicker than the rest, really within a minute of applying. It is a little watery s compared to the Risky Red but 2 coats give a completely opaque shade.

The last Xtras Glitter Top Coat is a colorless glitter top coat that easily goes on top with any color. It has multi colored glitters that applies smoothly and evenly on the nails and even comes off with your normal nail paint removers without leaving any chunky glitters behind. It actually makes your ordinary nail paint shades to stand out and increases the staying power too.

The long staying power is synonymous with all the 3 nail paint shades. Apply them and forget about them for a week easily. Both the red and black nail paints start fading just from the tips after 5 days, keeping the point in mind that I keep my hands a lot in water.

The Top coat too stays on and starts fading evenly after a week or so. They make the other nail paints last longer.

The applicators/brushes are thick and of medium length that picks up enough color and spreads them evenly on the nails without any streaks.

Rest I think the pictures attached speak for themselves. These are a real steal at the price and ongoing offers on Boots 17. I am surely going to hoard few more of these as soon as I can. I already have a big stock of nail paints to finish before plunging into more.  :P 

Ratings: 4.5/5 (-0.5 just because they are not available in India)

Recommendation: Yes, Very much. Get them and enjoy some brilliant super shiny, long lasting and quick drying nail paints.

This snap is taken after 7 days of applying the Night sky nail paint topped with the Glitter top coat. You can judge the staying power with this snap easily.

Editors note: Thanks you Nids for your wonderful post with many clear explaining pictures. It is really a detailed review and we hope that it would be useful for many divas out there. All the best for the giveaway!

DIY: Make Your Own Nail Colour

Guest Post by Chand

Hello all……. Don’t be deceived by the title. You are not making your own nail paint; you are just making you own color. I usually get bored very soon of all the nail colors I have. And I am never able to finish off any single nail paint. It usually dries up without being used or I some how manage to break the bottle due to my carelessness.

So, when I don’t get attracted towards any color that I own, I am tempted to make my own color. Now, making your own color is something a little weird and interesting.

Just follow the following steps:

• Randomly pick a couple of your favorite nail paint bottles.
• Drop few drops of all of your selected nail paints into a container
• Mix them well.
• There you are with a new color………. Done.!!!!!!!!! 

You have to make sure that you have sufficient quantity of the color mixture you have prepared for applying to all your finger nails. Consider for double coat too. It is very difficult to do the same shade color once again. So, make sure there is enough quantity you have mixed.

The ratio of the drops of the colors is your choice. But this color you have got is usually a fascinating one. Because you made it yourself.

Here comes few pictures of the nail color I made.

I have used Cozy Mulberry and Pink Barbie from Lotus, EF 16 (a maroon red) from Elle 18, and a dark grey color from VOV. (Please excuse the broken and the messy bottle.)

I have mixed MaroonRed-CozyMulberry-PinkBarbie-Grey in the ratio of 1:2:3:4.

A new color I got out of mixing.

I hope you enjoyed. Thank you….!!!
