Neon & Studs

Good morning everyone!! I don't know why, but I'm seriously attracted to neon polishes. Whenever I spot one, I just can't resist buying it. The result: I've quite a few neon polishes in my stack & I've never worn any of them, mostly because I'm scared of having my nails look tacky. This summer, however, I've decided to wear as many neons as possible, so brace yourself for that. For this week I chose my favorite neon polish of all. It's something I picked up in a local store & I love how the color resembles a highlighter (weird?) I applied two coats of white & used striping tape to create the neon band in the middle of each nail. To add some glam, I stuck a gold stud at the base. The mani looks so amazing in person & it's something that anyone can wear. You could also sub the band color with another neon or a regular bright shade that you're afraid to wear on its own. So which color are you gonna choose??

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.

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??

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??

Mint & Black

Good morning everyone!! Wasn't able to post for quite some time as I haven't been feeling too well lately. The sudden terrible heat made me fall ill twice in 10 days :( So yesterday I finally gathered my strength & decided to do my nails. This week I've have one of my favorite color combos, mint & black. On the index I applied 2 coats of mint & a silver star stud. On the middle, 2 coats of mint & one coat of a matte black & white glitter polish. On the ring, 2 coats of white & striping tape & black polish for the stripes. Finally on the pinky &thumb, I used 3 coats of a sand finish black polish. I love doing all my nails in different patterns & I think the color combo worked really well here. Hope you like it too!!

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 :)

Purple & Lavender Roses

Good morning everyone!! This week I decided to go the easy way & chose to use decals on my nails. I applied 3 coats of a glitter purple polish on my index & pinky & stuck 3 purple rhinestones. On the middle & ring finger I applied 2 coats of white & used striping tape & a lavender polish. Topped it off with water decals. Hope you liked it!!

Black & White Leopard Print with Rhinestones

Good morning everyone!! This week I decided to go black & white, & then jazz it up further.

I used 3 coats of white as my base for the leopard print & added silver dots with the polish brush itself. Used black acrylic paint for the leopard details. On the middle I've used Maybelline Glitter Mania in Dazzling Diva. I'm so glad I pick the gold & silver ones from this range as they go with a variety of shades. Finally on the ring finger I applied 2 coats of black & used my favorite Revlon topcoat to stick the rhinestones. I quite like the final look & 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 :)

Good morning everyone!! Had these pretty floral water decals lying around for a long time and this week I finally decided to put them to use.
