Duanwu Jie Nails for Chinese Dragon Boat Festival『KADS Nail Art』


Duanwu Jie Nails for Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
 
The Dragon Boat Festival is called Duanwu Jie in Mandarin Chinese. 
Duanwu Jie means “the beginning of mid-summer festival”.
The main activities during Duanwu Jie are eating Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and boat racing.
 
Apart from that, there are actually more traditional activities on this day, aiming at fending off evils and keeping people healthy, which include drinking realgar wine, hanging mugwort and calamus on the door, wearing scented sachets, and tying five-color silk thread to the wrist. 

For this special and important day, let’s learn to make Duanwu Jie Nails together, wearing all these festive images on our nails!
 Middle Finger



Apply three layers of KADS Jelly Polish Oat-Almond Milk as the base color. 
Same for all the other fingers.


Put a moderate amount of KADS Two in One Stamping Polish C28 and C31 onto the sachet image of KADS Stamping Plate Chinese 016.


Scrap the polish with a scraper for about three times to make a natural gradation.


Quickly pick up the image with a stamper.

Color the blank space of it with the mixed polish of
KADS Two in One Stamping Polish C01 and KADS Stamping Polish 08.



This is how it looks after coloring.

Stamp it to the nail before it dried.

Pick up the phoenix’s tail feather on KADS Stamping Plate Chinese 029 with KADS Stamping Polish 08. Clear the excess part with a liner pen or with any tool you like, making it into a thread.

Stamp the image to the upper left corner of the nail.


Pick up the same image separately with KADS Stamping Polish 25 and KADS Two in One Stamping Polish C28, stamp them to the nail in the same way.

Finish off with a top coat.
Now we got the scented sachet and the five-color silk thread on nail.

Let’s return to the first fan image.
Scrap the polish with a scraper for about three times to make a natural gradation.
