Black & White

Good morning everyone!! Last week was pretty busy for me. It was my husband's birthday & being his first birthday post marriage, I wanted everything to be extra special for him. I spent the week buying gifts, wrapping them prettily, planning for the day & finally, baking his favorite chocolate cake. With very little time left, I wanted to do my nails in a simple way & this is what I came up with.

I selected black & white as the base colors & used gold striping tape & a gold stud to jazz it up. The finished look turned out to be simple yet elegant. Liked it??

Christmas Nails

Good morning everyone!! I know this post is shamelessly late, but I'd so much happening in the last couple of weeks that I just couldn't find the time to post the nails I did for Christmas. There was illness, a number of outings, trying to spend as much time as possible with our family & my brother leaving for Australia for further studies yesterday. I'm gonna miss him badly :(

Coming back to the mani, I applied 2 coats of a dark green polish, sponged on some fine gold glitter polish on the lower half & used beads & rhinestones to create the look of tree ornaments. On the ring finger, 2 coats of red, tape & green polish to create the tree, chunky glitters for the ornaments & a star stud to finish the look. This looked really stunning in person & I'm so proud of it. What do you think??

Green & Gold

Good morning everyone!! This is the mani I wore last week. Applied 2 coats of a dark green polish, sponged some gold glitter on the lower half of the index & pinky & used studs & rhinestones on the middle & ring fingers. So easy to do, but I love how gorgeous it looks. This mani just couldn't fail to grab attention. What do you think??

Stripes, Flowers & Glitter

Good morning everyone!! The weekend was really amazing for me as I got a chance to deliver a hundred cupcakes for an event. To complement my happy frame of mind, I decided to do my nails in a fun & happy color with my favorite elements, flowers & bling. I used my favorite green polish on the index & pinky & used striping tape & white polish for the stripes. On the middle, I used white with floral decals. For the ring, I applied a gold sand finish polish but thought it looked dull compared to the rest of the nails. So I topped it off with a chunky gold glitter polish. Hope these make you happy too :)

Denim & Studs

Good morning everyone!! Along with Hooked On Pink, I'd also picked up Denim Dash from the Maybelline Colorshow range which I decided to wear this week. I love this one!! It totally lives up to its name, more so as it dries to a matte finish. And what better to complement the color with some zippers & studs. I've applied 2 coats of Denim Dash, water decals on all nails except the ring, where I've used studs. Quite edgy I say.
