#TGPNPC Use as many untried in one manicure: Day 12 of the Neverending Pile Challenge

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

Today's manicure is about cramming as many untrieds in one. My manicure could easily have stood for the theme: metallics. How many polishes I used for this -- 17 (pats my back)!!!

Use as many untried in one manicure: Colorbar Metallic Nail Lacquer

 The base for the manicure are metallic polishes from the new Colorbar Metallic range and one from the Quick Finish Range. (Sorry for the fuzz on my pointer. I noticed it only while processing the pics by which time it was too late to change anything).

 

I painted my nails half and half. Listed here are polishes -- first left then right. All polishes needed just one coat (except for the silver):
Pinky finger: Bejewelled (metallic hot pink) and Mammamia (metallic hot red)
Ring finger: Pink Smith (coppery pink) and Red Diamond (coppery red) 
Middle finger: Silver Lining (silver) and Haute Copper (this name is deceiving. It looks more like olive green)
Pointer: Blue Thunder (light blue) and Starry Knight (dark blue)
Thumb: Green Bling (green) and (damn! I'll get back to you on this forest green) from their Quick Finish Range.

Another look at Many Untried polishes

This picture makes the difference in polishes on the pinky and ring finger clear. I wasn't very neat as I was planning to put another stripe down the middle.

 For the middle stripes, I used the following polishes which are matte in texture:
Pinky finger: Zoya Harlow (purple rose matte) on Colorbar Bejewelled and Colorbar Red Diamond  
Ring finger: Deborah Milano Sense Tech no 09 (greyish brown matte) on Colorbar Pink Smith and Colorbar Mammamia 
Middle finger: Colorbar Treasure (metallic gold) on Colorbar Silver Lining and Colorbar Haute Copper Pointer: Cuccio Cobalt Blue (a shimmery dark blue matte) on Colorbar Blue Thunder and Colorbar Starry Knight 
Thumb: Faces Canada Green Matte (shimmery green matte) and Colorbar Green Bling and Colorbar (damn! I'll get back to you on this one) from their Quick Finish Range.

China Glaze Passion

 I stamped all the nails down the middle with flower, criss cross and feather patterns on my from XL plate R. I lined them on each side with Revlon Golden from their Fast Dry range and an unnamed bright pink (middle finger).

Polishes used for Many Untrieds

 These are all the polishes I used. Phew!!! How did I do? Those who saw my nails liked the design on the middle finger the most, and the colour combinations on the pinky, ring and thumb. What about you? Do leave a comment below.

The Grinch who failed to steal my Christmas

Pin It

Hello lovelies,

From my title you would have guessed what this manicure is about. Yes, it is the Grinch 
from How the Grinch Stole Christmas! which is a children's story by Dr. Seuss. This one is for Plump and Polished's challenge 'Favourite holiday book/character'.

The Grinch, a bitter, grouchy, cave-dwelling creature with a heart "two sizes too small," lives on snowy Mount Crumpit, just north of Whoville, home of the merry and warm-hearted Whos. From his perch, the Grinch can hear the noisy Christmas festivities that take place in Whoville. Annoyed and unable to understand the Whos' happiness, he makes plans to deprive them of their Christmas presents, Roast Beast, Who-hash and decorations and thus "prevent Christmas from coming." 

However, he learns in the end that despite his success in taking away all the Christmas presents and decorations from the Whos, Christmas comes just the same. He then realizes that Christmas is more than just gifts and presents. Touched by this, his heart grows three sizes larger; he returns all the presents and trimmings and is warmly accepted into the community of the Whos.

I am keeping the posts short as I couldn't update my blog due to Internet issues, and have to catch up with the pending posts. 
So, do you like my Grinch? Don't forget to check out my other posts and leave a comment :)

Polishes used:
LA Girls Matte Alpine Green (green base)
China Glaze Winter Holly (glitter topper)
Zoya Harlow (Hat)
Zoya Mitzi (Base for grinch's face)
Acrylic colours red, black, yellow and white for the grinch's features. 

P.S. For those wondering about the black mark on my index finger, its indelible ink. Gujarat Assembly elections were held in December and that mark tells all that I officially showed them my finger ;) Okay, I voted :D
