Christmas 2014: Day 5 Ice blue and white

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

For this prompt, I did something that was more wintery than Christmassy.

The

The base is Polish Me Silly Caribbean Dreams, is a light blue to darker blue thermal polish with smaller blue and silver holo glitters. I stamped on it with MoYou London Princess Plate Collection 13 XL. Doesn't it look like icy winds blowing on a desolate landscape?

The colour shift in this thermal was very subtle. But I quite liked the mix as it is. And, it wears strong too. I took this photograph on the fifth day of wearing it. Says a lot, huh?

Christmas 2014: Day 4 Santa/Elves

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

I have been posting less text as I have been completing the challenge but am hardpressed for time to blog. So, please follow me on Instagram @indianlacquerade where I upload pictures regularly and more than what I blog about. 
Coming to the challenge, this week's prompt is Santa and/or Elves. I decided to go with a simple manicure.

 I used Glam Polish Coven, a a rich red scattered holo with red holo hex glitter, and Conjuring, which is Coven's emerald counterpart. Both polishes are from the Cast a Spell collection.
 I used OPI Alpine Snow, OPI Honey Ryder and Colorbar Red Earth to draw the pompoms. 
 

This manicure was well-liked on Instagram. How about you? Do you like this manicure? Don't forget to leave a comment below.

Christmas 2014: Day 3 Snowman

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

For the Snowman prompt, I was racking my brains till I stumbled upon this idea.

I used two K B Shimmer polishes for this prompt. The base is K B Shimmer Witch Way, a deep purple jelly base with a ton of holographic glitter. On this, I layered China Glaze The Outer Edge, a white and silver microglitter, and used K B Shimmer White Here, White Now, a white texture polish, on the tips to imitate snow falling. I also used WHWN for the snowman's face and used acrylic paints in black and orange to draw its hat, eyes and nose.

Here is a closeup of the base KBS Witch Way. Isn't it gorgeous? Don't forget to leave a comment below.

Christmas 2014: Day 2 Trees

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

The Christmas tree prompt turned out to be quite interesting for me. Instead of the usual red, green colours, I opted for green and gold.

I used Faces Lyon, a green texture polish on my pinkie and pointer, and L A Girls Sands of Time, a gold texture polish on my middle and ring fingers. I then layered China Glaze Fairy Dust over Lyon. It took away the textured effect but I loved it this way too.

 I stamped on it using MoYou_London Festive 01 with China Glaze Passion (gold) and A-England St George (dark teal). I love the way this looks, what about you?

I created a gradient of Different Dimension's Imitation is the Biggest Form of Flattery and Glam Polish Bewitched. Then I stamped with Mundo De Unas White using snowflakes from a host of plates from Bundlemonster, QA, and MoYou London.
Beautiful, isn't it?

#TGPNPC The Ugly Duckling in the Set: Day 43 of The Neverending Pile Challenge

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

I finally finally FINALLY come to the end of my epic The Glittah Pirates Never Ending Pile Challenge. And the prompt is The Ugly Duckling in the Set. I rarely buy the entire set, and it is rarer for me to buy something I do not like. But I did goof up when I bought Colorbar Exclusive 07.

This is a burnt maroonish brown colour. I liked how it looked on the bottle. But on my nails, BLEH!

Of all the Colorbar polishes I own (And, they are quite a sizeable number), this is the only one I did not like in the least bit. I plan to use it as the base for some nail art.

Here's a closer look. The bubbles were the fault of my topcoat which was acting funny. And please forgive the ugly cuticles. I had injured my nails and couldn't touch them with enduring a lot of pain. But all's okay now :)
So, for once, I managed to complete an entire challenge, even if it took me months! But then again, in my defence, there never was a time limit to this challenge. I am just glad I stuck out till the end :)
