Fierce Red Tips

Hello,

Today I have another nail foil mani. I like how the foils can transform your simple mani into something so gorgeous. I love the tips so much in this mani that I might do more looks like this in the future. Click here if you want to check my last post on nail foils.

For this, I applied one coat of Zoya Bela. After it dried, I made a french tip using Essie Fishnet Stocking. Then using a Konad image plate M25 and RA 118 (picture of the plates at bottom) I stamped the roses using Sally Hansen Insta Dri Rapid Red and drew some leaves using Holly Green acrylic paint. On the tips, I applied Best Glue Ever which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied the metallic red nail foil. Then using a Q-tip I rubbed over the foil so that it attaches itself properly. After that I applied Wet N Wild top coat because for some reason fast drying top coat does not work well with the foils, at least not for me. In the end I applied Seche Vite top coat on all the fingers.

Review: Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate CK-02

Hello,

I received this stamping plate in April, but I was so busy with my school that I never got a chance to review or use this plate. I was very excited when Born Pretty store contacted me to review their products and asked me to choose one of their item. I had been eyeing these stamping plates for a really long time so it seemed like a perfect opportunity and I chose 42 pattern Stamping Plate CK-02.

The plate comes covered in a blue plastic cover (similar to the bundle monster blue cover). The cover is easy to remove. You must take out this cover before using this stamping plate. The plate is very sturdy and has a backing like most stamping plates. The designs are very nicely engraved.

July 4th Nails

Hello,

Happy 4th of July everyone. I am very excited to start blogging again as it has been a really long time since I last blogged. A lot of things happened in the past couple of months. First, I graduated with my bachelors degree. Second, I shifted to a new place. Also, I have been planning to write a blog for about two weeks now but could not make up my mind which design or shade to blog about (kinda anxious I guess). 4th of July seemed like a perfect opportunity to start blogging again.

I started franking after getting annoyed and frustrated with the process of purchasing some of the indie polishes. At present, I am making polishes just for personal use (you never know what the future holds).

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Trixie. Then applied one coat of Patriot which is a created by me. Patriot consists of blue, red, white and silver glitters of different sizes and shapes and it also consist of small blue stars in a clear base. This is my first franken and I am really satisfied with it. You can see the bottle as well as macro shot of the polish at the bottom.
