Easy Diwali Nail Art

Hello everyone and first of all let me wish you all a very Happy Diwali. I hope each one of you has a safe Diwali, stay away from crackers and celebrate an eco-friendly Diwali. Today I have an easy nail art to share with you all. I mean if a not so artistic person like me can do it, anyone can do it. 

So let’s get started. Here is what you will need,

1. Base coat (Rimmel “Nail Nurse Stronger Nail Base Coat”)

2. Golden nail polish (Maybelline glitter mania in “All That Glitters”)

3. Red nail polish (OPI “Innie Minnie Mighty Bow”)

4. Yellow nail polish (Maybelline “Sweet Sunshine”)

5. Brown nail polish (Elle 18 “No 64”)

6. White nail polish (Maybelline “Porcelain Party ”)

7. Orange nail polish (Maybelline “Orange Fix”)

8. Clear nail polish (Maybelline “Crystal Clear”)

9. Round bottom tooth picks

I was trying to make the shape of a diya with nail polishes, but I failed miserably #sadface.

Procedure:

1. Apply the base coat on all of your nails, this is just going to protect your nails from the colours that we will add on the top.

2. Apply golden nail polish on all the nails except the ring finger (you can also paint the diya on more fingers, I just used my ring finger as an accent finger). Let it dry completely.

3. Add two dots with the tooth pick using the red and yellow nail polishes, the upper one smaller than the other (Yellow and red are the colours of haldi and kumkum so I used those). Repeat on all the nails except the ring finger. {Picture no. 1}

4. Paint the accent nail with a white nail polish and let it dry completely.

5. Make three dots side by side with brown nail polish and tooth pick. {Picture no. 2}

6. Make two dots between the three dots with the same brown colour. This will create the diya (I fixed up mine later just by gently dragging the tooth pick until I get the desired shape). {Picture no. 3}

7. Apply an orange dot above the brown, this will make the base of the flame. {Picture no. 4}

8. Gently drag the tooth pick with yellow colour on it to complete the flame. Let it dry completely. It usually takes a lot of time so just let it stay there, do your work and get back to it later. {Picture no. 5}

9. Apply clear nail polish on the accent nail and there you go you have a tiny diya on your nails.

So this is my Diwali inspired nail art. I hope you liked it and if you decide to recreate this or if you have any other design, then send me a photo of it on any of the social media. I hope you all have a great Diwali and I will catch up with you soon.
