A Riot of Colors

Good morning everyone!! This is the mani I did for the festival of Holi celebrated last week. I'm not a fan of actually participating in the celebrations with colors & all, so I decided to bring out the festive spirit on my nails. I dabbed on a few colors randomly on all nails, blended them together with some glitter polish & finished the look with white dots in various sizes & loose glitter. I'm in LOVE with how it came out. Hope you feel the same!!

Vintage Romance

Good morning everyone!! How was Valentine's for you? It was our first V-day post marriage & we celebrated with a nice candlelight dinner, flowers & a red velvet cake I baked. I wanted to do a special mani for the day but I can't draw intricate hearts & I don't own any nail stamps. So I decided to go with a soft vintage feel on my nails. This one was seriously time consuming & required a ton of materials, but the end result was surely worth it.

For the index finger, I used a soft blue & white polish & striping tape to create the stripes & topped it with a fimo heart (cute, no?). The middle finger has a light pink base with glitter. On the ring, light blue base with pink roses, & a pearl, rhinestone & stud on a glitter pink base for the pinky.

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??

Pink & Yellow Roses

Good morning everyone!! I know summer has long gone by, but this week I was inspired to try something floral with roses. Now they aren't the most perfect representation of roses, but I did give it my best shot. The base yellow is one of my favorite yellows as its quite subtle & wearable for everyone. With 2 coats of it, I used a light & bright pink color for the roses, light green for the leaves & finished with white dots. It reminds me of a summery floral print dress. 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 :)

Blue & Green with Glitter

Good morning everyone!! Wasn't able to post last week as was quite busy with multiple birthdays in the family & the start of the festive season. I applied an aqua blue polish & sponged on some green on the upper half. The glitter polish that I applied is from a local brand but I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It's a clear polish with fine blue & chunky diamond shaped blue, gold, silver &white matte round glitters. The polish is quite gloopy as you can make out from the thick layers on my nails but the end result is worth it :)

Pastel Green & Blue with Rhinestones

Good morning everyone!! I've never been a fan of pastel shades until a few months ago. Maybe my advancing age is the cause of my changing preferences :) Of all the Go Graffiti shades launched by Maybelline, I really like
Green Graffiti due to the contrasting matte glitters in it. So I picked it up on our last trip to the mall even though hubby thought it to be an average shade. The index & pinky fingers have  3 coats  of Green Graffiti. Pretty shade, but I expected something more. The color is dull, maybe next time I'll try layering it over a bright green polish. On the middle finger I've used a pastel blue with rhinestones & a gold glitter polish on the ring.
