Mandala Nail Art

Hey ! 
I hope you're doing well, today I will talk about nails ! I know we are not Tuesday, but I wanted to do this article now, it's a bonus :) I will present you the pictures of this Nail Art and a tutorial. So let's go !!

To realize this Nail Art, you will need : 

- Watercolor painting palette                                                               
- Fine Brush (for acrylic painting)                                              
- Water                                                                                           
- White and Black acrylic painting                                               
- Round Brush (gradient the watercolor painting)                            
- Nail Polishes : White, beige, matte top coat, glitter, base coat and top coat                                         
- Gold glitter                                                                                 
- Dotting tool                                                                                       
- Carnation (for book)

STEP 1 : After to applicate the base coat, you have to take a carnation and put it in the nails (2/3 of the top). 

STEP 2 : Apply 2 coats of white polish, then 1 coat of matte top coat (for the watercolor painting adheres), and take off the carnation.



STEP 4  : With diluted black acrylic painting, make the pattern (fine brush). You can be inspired by tattoos, mandalas... Play with the line's fineness : thick and fine. 


STEP 5 : Color with the watercolor (round brush). Make gradients. To do that, you have to apply the pigments, dry your brush, and stretch the pigment with zigzag mouvement (there is just a little bit of water on your brush). More your brush is wet, more the color is transparent. 


STEP 6 : Make white points (with acrylic painting) to add some light. Apply big glitter (or some strass). 


STEP 7 : Apply Top coat and it's done ! 


On the others fingers, I applied gold glitter on all the nails. I glued them with the beige polish. Don't forget the Top Coat, it's very important if you want to hold your manicure !
