This post is long overdue, to be precise 1 year! Last year, I decided to do monsoon nail art with a twist. I wanted to include the shape of the nail in the design. If you look closely, my nail is actually filed and shaped to look like an umbrella. Continue reading “‘Red Umbrella in Monsoon’ Nail Art”
A red heart is a classic symbol of Love. This Valentine’s Day, express your love through nails with this amazing red hot nail art.
To start with, I applied Red nail polish on all nails except for the ring finger, which is the accent nail for today’s DIY nail art.
The next step is making a heart stencil using a scotch tape. Carefully apply red nail paint over the blue base, and voila, we are done.
If you don’t believe in the concept of 1-day Valentine’s day love, this simple nail art allows you to wear your mood whenever you feel loved on the rest of the 364 days!

Personally, I’m very inspired by colors and love each of them. So, today’s nail art can also be termed as “Inspirational Nail Art” 😉
Color Blocks Nail Art is the perfect nail art for everyday wear. One of the reasons being, it is simple yet effective.
For the design, I have used the following colors:
The process of Color Blocks Nail Art is similar to my previous nail art: Stripes Nail Art with Half Star Motif. Scotch tape is used to keep the white coat intact. The tape is applied such that it creates four blocks for you fill in the colors of your choice. I have made my ring finger as my accent nail by swapping the blocks of Revlon Yellow and L’Oreal Rebel Blue.
Applying the transparent top coat is really essential for these kind of nail. Top coat smoothens the edges of the blocks and gives an appealing luster to the nail art.
Summer or not, be open to welcome the colors of joy in your life 🙂
Stripes Nail Art is one of the basic nail art designs that you must try at least once! In today’s mani, I have clubbed the stripes nail art with a half star motif on the accent nail. Let’s find out how?
First things first, choose a complementary color combination for the nail art. I have used Revlon Lush Green and L’Oreal Rebel Blue.
The green polish is for the base and blue one, being the darker shade, is used for stars and stripes.
How to do it?
Stripes Nail Art is best done using a scotch tape (unless you’re too good at drawing/painting straight lines using a brush). A scotch tape is of great help because it makes the whole process simple and neat while rendering perfect lines and shapes.
Step 1: Apply two coats of green polish.
Step 2: Take a piece of scotch tape and cut out various horizontal lines.
Step 3: Stick the tape lines (leaving gaps in between) on the green base.
Step 4: Apply blue nail polish on the exposed area.
Step 5: Quickly remove the tape with great care.
The half star motif on the accent nail is also done using scotch tape. It’s amazing how this simple tape turns out to be a cool nail art tool, isn’t it?
Here’s the final look…
Stripes nail art works well for nail art pros and beginners alike. Why don’t you give it a try too?
A geometric design is nothing but refreshing, even for nail art. It gives you the scope for getting creative with shapes and colors. So, here is my attempt to geometric nail art using the design I frequently used to doodle at the back of my notebooks.
I picked three cool colors for this nail art viz. silver, green and blue.
Silver nail polish always serves as an amazing base for nail art. The color itself brings a unique texture & shimmer to the design and uplifts your nail art from something mediocre to something extraordinary. And, the combination of green and blue works the best, always!
Doodle your favorite geometric pattern on to nails and tadaa..you’ll have geometric nail art. Try it today!
