My First Attempt to Tribal Nail Art

Hello Folks, today I am back with a tribal nail art design. A few days ago, I was surfing internet for some new inspiration for my DIY nail art collection and found tribal nail art is quite popular these days. I have tried almost all DIY nail art techniques including dotting nail art, striping nail art, stamping and ombre nail art. So, thought to try something new.

Here I want to share my first attempt for tribal nail art and I would say the results are awesome. Anyhow, not satisfactory for me. So, let's start how to make tricky looking tribal nail art easy..!!



Things Required:

As always suggested, collect all required things at a place where you are going to try your nail art.

1. Some colorful nail polish: pink, yellow, green, red and blue.
2. Black nail art pen.
3. Nail dotting tool. (I bought from ebay India)
4. Top coat (preferably fast drying).

Steps For Tribal Nail Art:

First of all, remove old nail polish with good quality remover.


Step 1: The first step is to apply different nail polish colors for the base of your nail art. I have applied five different nail polish colors to give a trendy look. I have selected all bright colors so that my design pop out.
You can select single color for your nail art. It's all depending upon you. Let it dry before proceeding.

Step 2: Now, draw some horizontal lines with nail art pen, as shown in the photo. You can do it with your own idea as per your design.

Step 3: Next step is to make some lines, zig-zag and crosses in few lines. Take an idea from the design.

Step 4: Here is the final step. Take the nail art dotting tool. I have bought from ebay India as these tools are now available for direct selling in India. Add some dots with the nail dotting tool in the rest of the area.

Step 5: Apply fast drying top coat and lock your nail art for long lasting look.

I hope you like my colorful tribal nail art tutorial. Share it with your friends and family...:)

Previously, I had shown you Sponge effect for gradient finish. In this tutorial, I will explain you a step by step tutorial for DIY nail art that will not take more than 5 minutes.

Lets start first with cleaning and nourishing your nails with olive oil. Then, apply base coat for better look.

Now, I used yellow nail polish for base of my nail art. It is a bright yellow color. I always prefer bright colors for base of my nail art. They give a mesmerizing look to my nail art. Your nail art base must be completely dry. You can use ice-cold water for quick drying your nail polish. Just put your fingers in ice-cold water for few seconds and your nail polish will be hard dry.

Next step is to use a nail art dotting tool for the polka dots on your nails. I bought them from eBay India. If you are not a resident in India then you can get the best deal on ebay.com. I have used black nail polish for polka dots. You can use any other nail polish color for it that goes with your outfit.

Don't worry if your polka dots are not perfect. Perfection takes time and whatever you wear, is a fashion. Let your nail polish dry.


Now, take some striping tape and apply on your third nail in horizontal direction and keep the difference unequal. Have a look.

Now, apply black nail polish on your third finger carefully. I do prefer thin nail polish for striping nail art because they give better result. It must look like this:

Let your black nail polish completely dry. Otherwise the result will not be as good as we expect. Once your nail polish is dried then remove striping tapes carefully from your third nail. The result will be amazing like:

Once you are done with it, then apply top coat to give lustrous finish to your nail art. It will add-on a shine and perfection to your nails.

So friends how you like this nail art. Please share your views and suggestion with me. If you are not in India, then you can buy striping tape from ebay International.
