HAPPY DIWALI!!
And I have with me today, are nails inspired by Henna designs! I've always find Henna designs such a beautiful decoration on hands and feet. Its pretty unfortunate I've not the chance to try on my hand yet. Needless to say, I'd love to! My sister had the privilege to try one at her workplace and the lady did such a stunning job! I really like the simple yet beautiful design, so I thought I'd translate that onto my nails! ;)
Haha! So, how do you think I fare? I do apologise that they are fuzzy/hairy, swirls aren't easy to freehand with nail polish since they thickened fast --I'm sure most of you can relate. But, but, but!!! I'm very happy with how they turned out!! :D Took me almost the whole morning doing these! And if you do want to try these designs on your nails, I'd suggest spending time sketching, getting familiar with the designs first before you start. This will enable you to improvise and free flow the designs as you move from one nail to another. Unless you've experiences in henna designs, what a bonus that is for you! ♥
Few more hours to Diwali! I'd be expecting massive fireworks soon :D And again, Happy Diwali!!!
Nail polishes and tools used:
- Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Beige Blast (3 coats as base colour)
- Tip Top Nail Chic - Chocolate Truffle
- Nail art brush
Looks cool! That looks like a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I must admit it was pretty challenging, especially when trying to stabilize the hand :)
DeleteIt looks amazing actually! ^^ I hadn't noticed the imperfections, but hey, they make it even more realistic!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! Makes me happy hearing that! :D
DeleteThese are really pretty - I'm not surprised it took you so long! I love your photos as well - they are all such good quality :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you're enjoying them! Its all thanks to a little table lamp and the magic touch of photoshop ;)
DeleteWow, this manicure is absolutely awesome, you had a great inspiration for it. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes, that is true! I'm glad my sister came back with such awesome artwork on her hand XD
DeleteAnother awesome manicure. ^^ I didn't even think of doing anything for it. But my boyfriend, who is Indian and presently in India, just finished retelling me all the folklore behind the day. Hehe. It's really fascinating.
ReplyDelete^^ Thanks! Happy Diwali to your boyfriend! Hope he's having a splendid time!
DeleteThanks! :D
