31DC2013: Day 12 Stripes

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

As you can see from the header, the theme for Day 12 of the 31 Day Challenge was stripes.
This is the manicure I ended up with. Though a little complicated, I liked the design a lot. I'll definitely try this again.

I used a black base and then painted on stripes using white acrylic paint and coloured polishes. I also tried one without the base. My thumb, if you look carefully. I liked both looks.
Hope you liked it, too.

 Colours used:
VoV Blackberry (black creme)
Colorbar Bloody Mary (neon pinkish red)
Zoya Mitzi (matte chartreuse green)

31DC2013: Day 2 Orange

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

The second day of the 31 day challenge by Chalkboard Nails was themed orange. I had posted my manicure on Instagram and since I haven't been able to get my internet up and working, I got delayed in posting this on my blog.
Currently, the only way out is the use the instagram picture to sort out my troubles. 

 

The base is Milani HD, a scattered silver holographic polish, over which I brushed on an orange crackle polish. I spotted a bunch of crackle polishes and brought quite a few colours. However, the first coat made me realise that it wasn't a look I loved. So, everything went to storage. Thankfully, the orange saved the day. It is actually a neony orange. However, I did not layer it over white so it did not 'pop' much. Which suited me just fine.
What do you think about it?

Polishes used:
Base: Milani HD 
Crackle: VOV neon orange

Day 5: Jelly sandwich

Pin It

Hi,

Today is day 5 of the nail art challenge thrown by Puja Malhotra of cutenailstudio.blogspot.com. The theme is copycat. While I have not deviated majorly from the artwork, as you can see below, I have not followed the instructions to the tee.

Take a look at the original (http://www.doridavis.com/essie-marshmallow-milani-gems/): 

And here's my creation:

Another shot (now you can see the shooting star, cute ain't it):

Yet another shot :)

As you can see I have stamped the jelly sandwich with a shooting star on the ring finger. I love how the sandwiching has toned down the glitter enough so I could wear it to office (yeah, I work crazy hours but the dress code is pretty relaxed).

The colours I used:
VoV White (for the white base)
NYX Carnival (multi glitter filling)
LA Colors Sparkling Diamonds (silver glitter filling on the ring finger)
Revlon Powder Puff (for the top white coat)
Stamping: Konad plate m33

Thank God, it is the last of Puja's challenge because I just do not feel like changing this mani for a week.
Though I am also sad to see the challenge end as I connected with many lovely bloggers out there.
