4 No Tool DIY Nail Art Designs | Tips for Nail Art at Home

Hello Creators!

Its been my only makeup thing since 9th grade- Nail Art. I was a total tomboy but that one thing which kept me attached to my feminine side the most are my 'NAILS'. From then I used to do all sort of crazy things with them..like painting them neon, making art on them, growing them long and I can't remember the number of times I have been scolded for it but I never stopped. Those were the times when nail art wasn't as popular as today but then there were not so many other things either- Things like digital era but see how popular is it today and so is my beloved NAIL ART. I always looked out to vent my creativity, so I took help of 2 things- Calligraphy and Nail Art Designs. Now, I am much older and hardly someone stops me from having or doing what I love to do, So I go full-fledged out and about it because if I was all about nails back then against so many prejudice why not today.

Working with crazy nail paint colours, using different nail shades to accentuate my hand features and pop of nail polish to make my ensemble look put together is now my thing. If I can do so much with nail paints/nail art and not be bored of it yet then I can't be more eager to find out more happy souls who share the same love as me for their nails.

With today's advancement in this field nail salons, nail tools and fancy nail art equipment are very popular but what to do if you are a busy bee or a broke bee like me(for the later), you can't afford to spend an hour in a salon or your hard earned money on it. Trust me, I have tried salon twice and those place are hell lot expensive and specially when you do the dishes by yourself...You can not be happy about spending all that cash. So I would suggest start with the basics for prep up if creativity is not your forte :D , I am sure you will get there slowly.

Manicure-

• Choose you basic manicure routine and prep your nails for the nail art as hon nobody likes those cuticles.
• Cut and file your nails according to your desire.
• Dip your hands in luke warm soap water(your regular body soap) for 5-10 mins. You can add 4-5 drops of coconut oil for nourishment and 1-2 drop of tea tree oil as disinfectant.
• Don't throw the water yet as you will need that washing off that dirt off during the process.
• Take tooth brush with soft bristles to gently push down your cuticles.

• Once you are done, wash your hands thoroughly and moisturize them.

Preparation-

• Get all your required items at one place before starting the process of nail art as once nail paint is on, you hardly can move your hand around and pull things out drawer. Checklist -

      -Nail Paints for your design

      -Soft copy of a design you are going to follow

      -Scotch Tape

      -Scissors 

      -Nail Paint Remover + Cotton

      -Toothpick (to make patterns for some designs)

      -Top Coat

      -Your favourite magazine or music to keep you busy till the time coats dry

Nail Art-

• Once you are all set, go ahead with your nail art and girls please give it some time to dry off as all your hard work will go down the drain if you don't have patience hence the magazine or music. :D

No tool DIY NAIL ART - Design 2

Hello Creative Family!

So here is another nail art which is simple and requires no tool.

I am all up for GROOMED NAILS, for me they are the confidence booster as hands are one feature I can actually look at and admire myself...(Weird...You are right I am). If you share the thought, keep going through, to know what brands and shades I used for this particular one.

Saving you lovelies from getting your pocket ripped at those expensive salons.

Colorbar - Bubble Gum

Lakme- Hot Pink

 Lakme True Wear - Shade 503

I have used scotch tape to make the pattern. Cut the pattern you desire carefully on scotch tape keeping the sticky side outside with the help of xacto knife or scissors...( I used scissors but next time I will prefer knife or blade as I don't have xacto with me and this blog is all about no added tools...right)

Here I folded the tape in 4 folds to make the design match sides.

Paint over the scotch tape with same colour as middle finger.

Create the colour pattern of your choice...go crazy with the design, follow your heart or I am here for help....ALWAYS.

No tool DIY Nail Art : Design 1

Hey Creative Family!

Nail art from salon is costly and its not something you can take-out time for in every day routine...but what to do if you have grown your nails since ages and love to paint them...I am one of that girl who was only dutiful towards one beauty regime i.e. GROOMED NAILS :)

I know there are many other tutorials which use all that fancy tools to get the nail art done but my point is if everyone could do that fancy of a job at home with their nails life would have been so easy... I know my left hand doesn't co-operate when it comes to painting the nails of right hand ...Phewww!

So without any further chatting I would dig right into the tutorial...

First I have put a single coat of

Maybelline Color Show: Nude Skin

Then to make a clear line I stuck a thin strip of scotch tape diagonally (before applying tape on my nails first apply it at the back of my hand) and painted half nail with a coat of

Faces Splash: Plum 207

After the coat dries, take off the tape and there will be a clear line...Yes Ladies! Its that easy :)

After that applied the same tape which I took off at the edges and painted the tip with

Lakme True Wear:Shade 503

Once the coat dried, I peeled the tape off carefully and to secured it all with a coat of

Maybelline Color Show:Clear

This combination has a nice formal tone to it so can be easily worn to formal events without a fuss. Comment and share below if you plan to try it out. :)
