Islamic Nail Art Tutorial:

1. Apply your base coat and follow with 1-2 coats of your base color (turquoise is a common color in Islamic Art).
2. Using a fine nail art brush and white nail polish, paint a half moon shape at the base of the nail to represent the eye white of the "evil eye" charm (Nazar). Use a gold nail art pen to outline the shape. Add gold glitter on top of the gold outline for a more decorative feel. Use a large rhinestone for the iris.
3. Draw a "Hand of Fatima" shape (aka Hamsa in the Jewish religion) with a black nail art pen and fill in the shape with the gold pen, going over the black and leaving a very thin outline. Top the gold with gold glitter.
4. Similarly, paint a crescent moon and star at the base of another nail and top with glitter.
5. Add a large Hand of Fatima (Hamsa) to your thumb or accent nail.
6. Finish the design with top coat.
