Happy Valentine's Day!

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

Today is St Valentine's Day and I have a beautiful manicure just for the day. 
I've realised that the only way I can use all the polishes I own is using the skittlette manicures made famous by Marta Wuz of Chitchat Nails.  

Ain't it pretty? I used a couple of Different Dimension polishes for this look. 

On my pinkie, I layered Different Dimension Cranfairy, a raspberry jelly with magenta, raspberry and hot pink glitter, over 1 coat of Colorbar Exclusive 48, a creme red.

I put down a base of a beautiful light gray creme from VoV (name unkown) and layered Different Dimension Scarlet & Grey Remix, a glitter topper in grey, white and metallic red hexes and circles of various sizes, on my pointer finger.

I layered a thick coat of Different Dimension's Imitation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery, a glow-in-the-dark polish with micro glitters, and stamped using the single rose pattern from a Red Angel plate. 

I stamped my thumb using the full nail heart design from another Red Angel plate. Since this image was small, I filled in the gaps with the metallic red glitter from the Different Dimension topper.

I really like how the roses turned out. This manicure was a hit in real life, how about the virtual one? Don't forget to leave a comment on whether you like it or not!

Getting Ready for Christmas!

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

December heralds the beginning of Christmas season. And I am ready to face two nail challenges: Getting Ready for Christmas Challenge (Phew!) and the Totally Doable Nail Challenge (Amen!)
For this I combined both challenges. GRCC's first challenge is Not yet, but almost! and TDNC listed Pattern. 

Since I had just received a consignment from one of my favourite indie polish maker Different Dimension, I just had to, had to sprinkle some magic using Cranfairy! I used a design from Bundlemonster's Holiday collection which to me represented ORNAMENTS!

 I have Not yet put up my Christmas tree, but I have almost decided on the ornaments.So this pattern fulfills both my challenges.  And now for the gorgeous Cranfairy in all its lonesome, winsome beauty. 

Cranfairy is a squishy raspberry jelly polish with hot pink, burgundy and fuchsia glitters. It does not have holo glitters yet it is a definite beauty. Two coats did the trick for me. It did dry gritty, so this is with two super thick coats of Seche Vite (Ah, what would we do without it). 

A close up of how the polish looks on your nail. It kind of looked like a squishy watermelon to me. Is that black glitter I see? I really cannot figure out. And one more photo showing its squishiness, aided by my trusted SV, of course. 

So what do you think of the polish and my take on the challenges? Do leave me a comment. I read them all. 
As for the giveaway I talked about it my last post, I am working out something interesting for you all. So, stay tuned :)
