AIS: Yellow base

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

Some of you might know that I am a member of Adventures in Stamping, a stampaholics group on Facebook. They have a challenge for every Sunday, and this week, it was doing nail art on a yellow base.
Since yellow is a colour I do not use regularly, I thought it was a good idea to meet the challenge.

Colorbar Sun Blaze stamped with BM 206 using MdU White

I used Colorbar Sun Blaze, a bright buttery yellow, from the Quick Finish range as my base. As with most yellows, this one was streaky despite all my careful ministrations. But when I added a coat of Wet N Wild Kaleidoscope -- a clear base filled with holo micro glitters, to add some sparkle, the polish levelled out.
And then, I went ahead and smudged by middle finger real bad. So, I layered a coat of Color Club Gingerbread, a gold-based holo glitter to cover up my mistake.

Since it was a stamping challenge, I used the flower buds image from BM 206 and stamped with Mundo De Unas White. This toned down the 'yellowness' of the polish, and made it more wearable for me :)
How did you like this manicure? Don't forget to drop a line.

Indian Independence Day

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

I'll make this short and sweet. This is the manicure I did to celebrate India's 68th Independence Day on Friday, August 15.

The base is Faces White Knight, a silver beige matte polish, on which I stamped with Mundo De Unas Green, Orange and Papyrus (a light cream).

I used two stamps from BundleMonster 406 plate for this design.I used my new neon orange (I know my camera freaked out) and neon green studs from Born Pretty Store to jazz it up a bit.
I also submitted it to Indian Lacquer Lovers on Facebook where nail bloggers have put up their creations to celebrate the Indian Independence Day.

#TGPNPC A random untried: Day 3 The Neverending Pile Challenge

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

For Day 3 of the Neverending Pile Challenge, I have a random untried. 

 This is 85 Oh My Magenta 2 from Colorbar. A gorgeous dusty fuschia creme that would suit all skin colours. It is a two-coater and dries fast. I had no issues with the formula.

 

 
For accents, I stamped on my ring and thumb fingers with Konad White using the bigger flower pattern on BM 224.

If you're interested in joining the challenge, time's running out. Join a group on Facebook called the Glittah Pirates. Here's what is in store:

Totally Doable Challenge: Sweets

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

Since I am behind on posting the challenges, I am going to keep this really short. This manicure meets Californails's Totally Doable Challenge's theme: Sweets. Since no plates have Indian sweets (jalebis, anyone?), I made do with the foreign version.

By now you must have guessed that pixie dusts or liquid sands or textured polishes are my new love. It combines matte and glitters. What's not to like about it ;) 

Colours used: 

Zoya Chyna (Dark Red Pixie Dust)

OPI Stay the Night (magenta glitter in black base)

For stamping:
Polish: China Glaze Passion (Metallic gold)

 Plates: Winstonia W117 (sweets), Bundlemonster H15 (Chinese lanterns)
