Blue Butterfly!

Hello,

How is everyone doing? If you follow me on Facebook then you probably know that I have opened a new shop. I am selling solvent resistant glitters for frankening. If you don't know, solvent resistant glitters are used for making your own nail polishes as these glitters do not melt or bleed. I have tested these glitters for more than 2 months and can assure you that the glitters will perform well. Let me know if you have any questions. You can check my shop here.

For this mani, I wanted to go for a subtle look. Don't get me wrong I love all the Halloween nails that I am seeing these days but wanted some change. It is a very simple design using stamps and I hope you guys like it. For this, I applied 2 coats of Essie Sand Tropez. Then using the Red Angel Plate 119 I stamped the butterfly design on the accent using Zoya Ibiza. 

Bling It On

Hello,

I have a big surprise coming for you guys. I do not want to disclose it right now but I will post about this surprise on my Facebook page within a couple of weeks. I got a request for doing nails using rhinestones over nude polish. This is a very easy design and if you do not have glue you can use topcoat to adhere the rhinestones and glitters. Also, it looks much more color coordinated in person as the gold square glitters reflect a lot and do not show their true color in pictures.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Minka. Then applied Best Glue Ever on all the nails, 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 2 mm gold square rhinestones on the accent nail and on other fingers I applied 1.5 mm gold square glitter.

Bundle Monster 310

Hello,

How is everyone doing? I got my hands on the new Bundle Monster stamping plates two weeks ago. I have to give it to Bundle Monster that they are getting better every time they come out with the new set of stamping plates. I really like this set as there are so many cute designs and not much (only two) french design plates. I do not know about you guys but I have really hard time stamping those french designs. Now onto today's mani, this design gives a very clean look and I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Brizia. Then using a Bundle Monster image plate 310 I stamped the net design using Ulta Salon Formula Wild Night. I have an obsession of doing something extra on my accent finger so I applied antique copper micro beads.

Black and White Challenge Day 5

Hello,

This is my fifth post for the Black and White Nail Challenge. The theme for today's nails was to create a manicure using a color base with something black. After all the detailed designs, I wanted something simple and neat and this design fits perfectly. 

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Jules. Then using the Konad image plate 209 I stamped the design on all the fingers using Wet N Wild Black Cream. This design looks really weird on the image plate and I assumed I was never going to use it as the size of all the nail are different and this whole design won't make any sense. However using only one side of the design works and if you can align it perfectly it will look really nice. I was in hurry so my lines are going everywhere. 

Valentine's Day Nails 10

Hello,

This is my tenth post of the Valentine's Day series. My cousin wanted to see two white doves in love and I came up with this design. I had so much fun doing this one and I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied two coats of Zoya Gretchen. On my ring and middle finger I painted white doves using black and white acrylic paint. Also, both the doves are carrying half hearts (if combined it makes a complete heart) which I painted in red and pink acrylic paint. On the thumb and remaining fingers I drew small hearts using red acrylic paint.

Essie Sand Tropez

Hello,

Essie Sand Tropez is a beautiful sandy nude beige color. This polish is perfect for interviews or for your workplace. It is part of the Essie Spring 2011 French Affair collection.

To be honest this color looks kind of boring in the bottle. I initially brought it because I was getting it at a really good price and moreover I did not have a similar color in my collection. When I applied Essie Sand Tropez for the first time I was overwhelmed with the subtleness of the polish. It is perfect for the days when you want to take a break from your glitters and bright colors. It is a cream finish that goes on opaque in two coats. It has become my favorite nude now as it gives my hand a very neat look.
