Nail Tutorial - Happy Deepavali

Happy Deepavali to all Hindu friends!

The most colourful celebration in Singapore. Women prepares the festive with henna applied on their hands, new traditional outfit Sari and jewelries, cooking a stomp of their delicious food and Indian sweets, colourful Rangoli in the entrance of their humble homes and of course the star of today's blog a new bhindi to finish up the look.

Bhindi is a a forehead decorative worn by the Hindus . Traditionally a red dot but with times changing a jewelry could replace the red dot and match with the tradional sari.

The range of stick on bhindi goes from plain old red dot to decorated bindis with diamonds.

So I thought using bhindi is an awfully genius idea to celebrate Deepavali.

Here's what you need:

Base

1. Base coat
2. Top coat
3. Models own - Lemon Meringue (yellow)
4. China Glaze - Be more pacific (light green)
5. China Glaze - Exotic Encounters (medium green)
6. A set of Bhindi

*i am contrasting the nail colours with the bhindi hence China Glaze Exotic Encounters will not have a bhindi decorated.

Tools

1. Scissors
2. Tweezer

Here's how:

 Step 1 - Clean your nails with Basic Manicure (click here to see my version)

                  - apply base coat

 Step 2 - Apply nail polish on nails

                      * I alternate the colours

 Step 3 - Using a Tweezer, carefully peel off one bhindi from its packet

 Step 4 - Place bhindi beside your nail and measure where you need to cut / 

                    if your bhindi is small then you would skip this step

 Step 5 - Carefully stick the bhindi on the center of your nail

                 *I start placing at the middle bottom of my nail bed and slowly work my way up

                 - continue Step 3-5 for the rest of your nails

 Step 6 - Apply 2 layers of top coat for best coverage of the bhindi

Let traditional decoration be your bestfriend
