Rainbow Tie Dye NOTD + tutorial

 Hi again! Today I have another tutorial for you.

 The ingredients:

 

 Step 1: Paint your nails with your base coat.

 Step 2: Paint your nails white. Wait for it to completely dry and put a drop of red nail polish on a piece of paper of whatever you use as a base if you do nail art.

 Step 3: Using your brush, thinly trace the way you want your tie dye to look like. In here I made it looks a bit like conch shells (?).

Step 4: USing the same red polish, paint the thin line onto something bigger using 'dragging' motion outwards.

 Using the other colors, do the same thing as step 4.

 On the 3rd or 4th color, start doing the same thing to the edge of your nails.

 On your 5th or 6th color, paint the your nails to create that circular tie-dye effect.

 Step 5: After you're done, do it again to make the colors POP.

 

 Step 6: Seal the design with top coat.

Optional: Add a glitter top coat. (Here I use OPI Servin' Up Sparkle)

And this is the whole design on all 4. What do you think? :)

NOTD: Balinese Tenun Ikat inspired Nails

Hello everyone!

I saw looxperiments's Looxhallenge for this month which is: INDONESIA BANGET! and knew I have to do this one (that's just an excuse for not having any more ideas what to do on my nails! :p)

As you guys who follow me on instagram knows, I was the 3rd finalist in a fashion inspired nail art competition held by an account in instagram, and the nail that placed the 3rd was inspired by my Batik Cloth! I'll show it to you guys sometime :)

This nail art is inspired by Balinese Tenun Ikat. The pattern is on a sling bag bought by my teacher as an oleh-oleh (souvenir) from Bali :D

The products used: 

• Elianto Nail Polish in Twilight Zone;
• The Face Shop Platinum Face&it Nails in GL111;
• Color Club Blue Heaven;
• Rhinestones from Nail Art House;
• Revlon Top Speed Topcoat

So, what do you think? :)

NOTD: Magnum Gold Nails

Hey guys! I am back again with another NOTD (Nail of The Day). This one is inspired by my favorite ice cream brand, Wall's Magnum Gold!

First, the close up of each of my nails:

my pinky

My ring finger

my middle finger

my pointer

my thumb

The base color us Innisfree #69, Autumn Leaves. It's a duochrome that flashes magenta to dark red to gold. I LOVE IT!

All the ice cream and logos are made with mostly nail polish. Acrylic paints are only used on those white lines to create shading.

I'm still a long way to go from perfection! Please forgive the empty gaps between lines or uneven lines!

Disclaimer: Magnum is a trademark of Unilever. I, Sovianaty, am not affiliated in any way to Unilever nor Magnum, and I created this look using pictures from the internet as a guide.

#NailArtApr Challenge Day 1 : Flowers NOTD + Tutorial

Hey everyone!

I've seen lots of nail bloggers and artists do nail art challenges. And the one that caught my eye is the one made by Californails. Here's my Day 1 to Nail Art April Challenge (I'm a few days late, sorry!) which is Flowers!

 I've put together a little tutorial for you guys, and here's what you need:

  

From Right to Left:

• Etude House Help My Finger Sunshine Whitener as basecoat;
• Etude House Jewelade RD201;
• Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails COR202;
• The Face Shop Lovely Me: EX Nails YL702;
•  Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails CWH901;
• Skin Food Nail Vita BL512;
• Pokari for Stroberi 6190 Metallic Green;
• and Revlon Super Top Speed Top Coat as top coat.

The steps:

1. Paint your nails the base color you wanted.
2. Using a darker color of what you wanted for your roses, draw a not perfect circle. Fill it in.
3. Draw another circle with the lighter color.
4. Start making a dot in the middle of your circle and create the 'petals' by making a half-moon shape using the lighter color. Let it dry.
5. Do the 4th step with darker color on the other circle.
6. Using white, draw half-moon shape on both circles, not overlapping the colors you've created.
7. Draw little triangles coming out of the flower using a green polish or acrylic paint.
8. Highlight the leaves with a lighter shade of green in the middle of the triangle.
9. Top coat to seal it off and you're done!

The tools I used in this mani is my trusty old Cotman 0000 brush.

It's a little crooked on the edges because I don't rotate it often enough! :p

Hope you guys enjoy my post, and see you soon!
