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.

Pink Leopard Print & Glitter


Good morning everyone!! Pink has always been my favorite color, but I realised that I barely have any pink manis on the blog. So this week I decided to correct that. A couple months ago, I'd picked up Maybelline Color Show in Hooked On Pink & now its my favorite pink polish. For this mani, I applied 2 coats of it on my index & pinky & stuck diamond shaped glitters vertically. On the middle I applied 2 coats of a light pink color & sponged some mixed glitters on the lower half. Finally the ring & the thumb have 2 coats of silver & a neon pink polish & black acrylic paint for the leopard print. Quite a sparkly & girly mani, this. What do you think??

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 :)

Royal Blue with Beads & Rhinestones



Good morning everyone!! This is the mani I wore for my birthday two days ago. There was a time when it was compulsory for my outfit & nails to be matchy-matchy. I've outgrown that phase a long time ago, but I fell so in love with the colors of my birthday outfit that I decided to do my nails in the same combo. I applied 3 coats of a dark blue polish & gold decals. Finished it off with red & white rhinestones & gold beads. I really love how royal & intricate this mani turned out to be. The pics are a bit hazy as they were taken from my cellphone camera. Hope you like it :)

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!!

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.
