Happy Independence Day, India!

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

Today India celebrates its 67th Independence Day. And to mark it, Indian bloggers have collaborated to bring you their creations. Here's mine:

The colours match the Indian Tricolour: Saffron, white and green. I used stamping for the middle and ring finger. And used the sponging technique for the first time with three colours.
I think I did a decent job. Here's another shot:

I had also tried out another design, which according to me was a fail. What is your opinion?

Though the colours match the Indian flag, I did not think it conveyed anything :(

Polishes used:
Saffron: Colorbar Orange Mimosa
White: OPI Alpine White
Green: OPI Jade is The New Black

For stamping:
Polishes: Colorbar Orange Mimosa (saffron flower), A-England St George (leaves)
Plates: Bundle monster 306 (entwined flower), Bundle monster 306 (large flowers)

P.S. I have a news to share... I am on Instagram now. Check me out at indianlacquerade.

Happy Friendship Day

Hi lovelies,

Happy Friendship Day! This is a day that my fellow beauty bloggers at The Beauty Cafe on Facebook were looking forward to eagerly. They formed a 'Secret frand' list and sent out gifts to each other, sharing their love and admiration. This manicure is for them :)

What's this, you ask? Let me explain....

Strawberry twins: Bundlemonster 306

 The pointer shows the Secret Friends. As cozy as two strawberries in a pod. I know, I know, it is supposed to be peas. But hey, strawberries are sweeter and cuter. And these totally look like they have gone undercover.

A closer and touched-up look of the thumb:

Gift box and chocolate cupcakes: Konad M14

Sorry I could not get a better picture of this. I realised I should have kept the base more simple, but I really wanted to get the most out of the Deborah Lippmann Ray of Light ($18 polish just cannot be wasted o_O ). The stamps are gift boxes, some of which contained chocolates :) And other goodies.

Purses: Bundlemonster 307

Lips & lipstick: Bundlemonster 303

The girls gifted each other lipsticks, shower gels, creams, liners and so many many other wonderful things. These were all so thoughtful because they read each other's blogs and tried all methods (overboard and underhand ;) ) to zero in on the perfect present!
Way to go! The girls are extremely friendly, gracious and accepting. So, this post is being dedicated to them. Keep loving!
