Hi friends, this is another nail art post specially for Raksha Bandhan. Rakshan Bandhan is a Hindu festival that celebrates the love between brothers and sisters. On this day sisters tie a thread of love and good luck on their brother's wrist. This thread is called the Rakhi. The brother in turn vows to protect his sister. There is a lot of historical significance to this festival (you can read it on wiki-pedia)
The ordinary thread over time has changed many forms - from crystals, to the now popular diamond studded Rakhis - the humble holi thread has had a makeover.
To capture the festivity of this day I tried to recreate a tiny little Rakhi for my nails. I know this might sound a bit crazy but then who wants to be normal! The pictures were all taken when all of my nails were still wet - you can see the wet polish around the accent nail with Rakhi.

Things you need:
1. Tiny embelishments for creating the Rakhi - I used green nail studs and one flower crystal stud.
2. A thin thread - I used a golden thread from a ribbon I had - you can use a normal thread and coat it with golden polish
3. Clear top coat
4. Zip lock bag (or any similar plastic bag)
