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.

Grey, Glitter & Rhinestones

Good morning everyone!!! I know I've given an impression that I've abandoned the blog, but that's absolutely not the case. The thing is, I was too busy preparing for & having fun during Diwali. Especially with it being our first Diwali after marriage. I'll make it a point to post regularly now onwards. Coming back to the mani, I'd no idea what to do with my nails so I just applied my favorite grey polish & decided to see what I could do with that. Then a day later, inspiration hit me hard & I came up with this. I sponged on Rimmel's Disco Ball on the lower half of my nails & dressed up the accent nail with rhinestones, pearls, blue studs & silver beads. The glitter polish is a beautiful one with loads of holographic glitter too, which I unfortunately couldn't capture. I really love how this came out. Hope you do too!!

Vintage Roses with Pearls & Glitter

Good morning everyone!! I love using 3D elements in my manis but wasn't able to for quite some time due to the absence of my favorite Revlon topcoat/glue. I was finally able to lay my hands on it last week, that too at a discounted price (thanks to the numerous sales everywhere). This week its a pretty mint polish with roses and dots on it. The index finger has some simple glitter on it, but the show stealer, as per my husband, is the ring finger. Nothing spells vintage like pearls & I added to it with a rhinestone & some gold beads. I'm really loving the look, hope you like it too :)
