STEP UP 3D- BROKEN TANGO INSPIRED NAIL ART

Forgive me for this post as it will be a bit sidetracked from the usual nail polish related post. Today is all about dance- the other love of my life (along with my family and job); yea nails is secondary to these. Anyway, I just watched step up 3 a week ago and although others might like all the other sequences in the movie, I loved the tango the most; or in this case the broken tango as it was not pure tango. Not a fan of all the other sequences because that’s not the genre I go for. I love Contemporary- ballet like, and America-Latin ballroom dancing. Not much of a hip-hop and break-dancing fan.

Anyway, after watching that I came up with an idea for a nail art (not so much of an art) but it was seriously inspired by the tango steps. Ok here’s a question: What do you first notice when you see tango taking place? The guy who leads confidently, or the girl who gives in gracefully? I like the girls; and you know why? Because I’ve got no idea how they dance in those high heels! It’s an art of its own! I’ve broken few bones trying it doing salsa so seriously, bravo to those graceful dancers. This nails art is for you:

First I painted my nails using Essie’s Turquoise and Caicos(T&C), then once it was dried, I dapped The Face Shop’s white polish and OPI’s who the shrek are you on it using a tissue paper (couldn’t find a sponge). Once all dried I re-dapped Essie’s T&C. All done and dried, I drew the heels using Bloop’s Black polish and a brush. Easy isn’t it. Hope you girls like it.

Back to the tango story, here is another of my favorite tango video:

So sexy isn’t it? Wish I could move like that. Haish.. A dream that is almost impossible to come true.

MUSIC INSPIRED NAIL ART- NEED YOU NOW

Oh My God!! I just love this song so much!! I don't know how many of you feel the same way but i've been repeating this song all the time! Call me slow but i've just discovered this song only bout 3 months ago but the frequency of the song playing in my itunes have increased in these past few days!

-Love it-love it-Love it!!

Anyway, while listening to this song, i was having my nail art stuff on my dressing table and just randomly i started doing some designs on my nails- i'm pretty sure i've seen it somewhere but i cant recall where. I'll call this as Music Inspired Nail Art. Forgive my ugly nail art but basically this is what i did:-)

The Tutorial:

First paint your nails with base coat and your background colour. In this i used ORLY La Playa:

Then for the heart shaped design, use any reds you have. I'm using Big Red Apple in this.

Drop a drop of the colour on a piece of paper, or if u have the colour palette its much better:-)

Dip your tiny brush into the drop. Its not necessary for you to purchase the special nail brushes. Im using something i got from the stationary store that cost hardly Rm 1. Just make sure its superfine.

Then using this brush, draw a small heart shape in the middle of your nails. Like this:

Now, using your brush, draw your background colour (zig-zag) in the middle of the heart so that it looks like a broken heart like this:

You can leave it this way or if you dont want it to look 'empty', just put some shiny dots around it. I'm using OPI suede coz its quite 'glittery' 

Finally put on your top coat for a nicer finish.

Tada.. The final results:.. :-)

Hope you girls like it:-)
