Of surfs and seashells!

I recently went on vacation to Goa,a beautiful beach destination here in India! And I think this design best reflects the fun of beach vacations! :D Its a pity though that my pesky little brother deleted all the better pictures I had of this design leaving me with just this one!

Starry nights...



I was having quite a boring day and I was literally staring out of the window at the night sky and my thoughts went to Van Gogh's starry nights painting and I felt I just HAD to try it on my nails!

Use a robin blue coloured nail polish as the base and don't let it dry before adding the patches of white and yellow nailpolish on it.
I added the black flame-like detail only on my ring-finger. You can make Van Gogh's signature strokes with a pin or a toothpick (the safer option) just to give that real Van Gogh effect. Try doing this before the different layers of pain dry so you end up getting a few light blue tones as well.
Cover it up with a coat of clear nail polish to seal in your design as well as to give it a smooth-ish texture!

These are the shades of blue and yellow that I used. They look quite amazing together don't they?

He loves me,he loves me not...


I'm sure everyone of us has been in this dilemma atleast once in our lives,if not more. And of course we all know the cliched lovesick person plucking out flower petals trying to decide based on pure luck or the Fibonacci sequence,whether the object of their affection does love them or not!
Either way here it is,on my nails! =)

I used the end of an unbent paper clip as a dotting tool and got a little sneaky by using a normal white-ink pen to make the petals.  If you cover it with a top coat,the pen ink does not crack or get wiped off! =D
For the green stem,I used my striper brush.

A Swatch of smARThistory! =)




Hey everyone!

These are my Piet Mondrian nails! I'm an architecture student so we have a little bit of art history to study! Thats what got me into doing these nails! Pretty simple and basic.
Just fill in a base coat of white with vertical and horizontal black lines placed randomly and fill some of the squares and rectangles with blue,yellow and red!

You could make this design more personal by adding in your favourite three colours or you could make it festive with red,green and gold! Have fun! =)
