Black and White Challenge Day 10

Hello,

I am so excited that my spring break started. I have the whole next week off which is awesome. I apologize again for not uploading this post yesterday because I was on road going back to my parents home. It feels really good to be back home. It is so hard to believe that this was the last nails design for the Black and White nail challenge. I had so much fun doing this nail challenge and I enjoyed looking at the designs of all the girls who were participating in this challenge.

For this, I uploaded a step by step tutorial for you. I think this is most hardest design I have ever done on nails. But I love garfield so I loved every bit of it. I did this design a couple of days ago for a nail challenge which I did not win.

PS: I have a giveaway going on right now. Enter here.

Black and White Challenge Day 6

Hello,

This is my sixth 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 white. I am not feeling well today so I settled with a stamping manicure and I like how it turned out.

For this, I applied 2 coats of OPI I'll Take The cake. Then using the Shany (2012) image plate SH21 I stamped the design on all the fingers using Konad white stamping polish. After it dried I made a french tip using Essie Blanc. Then applied purple glitters along the french tip.

Black and White Challenge Day 4

Hello,

This is my fourth post for the Black and White Nail Challenge. The theme for today's nails was to create a manicure using a white base with some color. This is my first attempt at doing one stroke flower and I really like how it turned out. I learned this technique on youtube from Tartofraises1


For this, I applied three coats of OPI Fit for a Queensland which is an off white color. Then using the red and yellow acrylic paint I drew a flower on each finger except ring finger on which I drew two half flowers. It may look kinda messy in the beginning and the flowers don't make any sense but it turns out fine when you put everything together ( I almost removed it after doing my first flower because it looked like a blob of paint). After it dried, I used a black acrylic paint to draw an outline of the flowers and some random dots on the side. Then using the brown acrylic paint and a dotting tool I made some dots in the middle of the flower.


PS: I am planning to have my first giveaway when I reach 100 members on my blog. So spread the word ladies. 

Valentine's Day Nails 2

Hello,

This is my second post of the Valentine's Day series. It is a very simple design using stamps and I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied 2 coats of OPI Fit For A Queensland. Then using the Red Angel Plate 106 I stamped the heart design on all the fingers using Zoya Sooki. On the accent finder I added a silver heart rhinestone in the middle and small silver glitters on the big red heart outlining the small heart in the middle.

Nicki Minaj Inspired Nails

Hello,

I did this nails for an OPI contest which finished last week. The theme of the contest was based on four Nicki Minaj dresses and the contestants have to choose one. I did not win in fact I got very few votes. 

For this, I chose the Nicki Minaj's dress the one she wore for Victoria's Secret show. You can see the dress at the bottom of the page.

I started by applying 2 coats of Wet N Wild White Cream. After that I sponged my nails based on the colors of  her dress and drew other random figures from her dress. Just for little shimmer I added one coat of OPI's Heart of Gold. I chose her Victoria's Secret fashion show dress because it was full of colors and that's what I wanted on my nails too. 

Colorful Glass Pattern

Hello,

For this, I have seen so many people on youtube doing this type of nail art that it is difficult to give credit to one person. I do not know who originally came up with this idea but whosoever started it did an awesome job. It is a very easy design and you can play with any colors you like and it does not have to be perfect. As always, have fun with it.

Found my Candy Store!

Hello,

I wanted to post this haul earlier but never got a chance to post it. I was at home last month and was randomly searching for cheap nail polishes and came across a shop at San Jose which sells the nail polishes and nail products at a very good price. Frankly I was not expecting much as I had similar experiences like this in the past. I thought maybe some random polishes. When I entered the store I was overwhelmed with the quantity of polishes the store carried. They also have a lot of other nail relating stuff.

I know it is like a teaser for all the people not living in California Bay Area. The name of the shop is US Nail Supply and it is located in San Jose. They carry a lot of brands of polishes like OPI, Zoya, Essie, China Glaze, Orly, CND, Color Club, Seche Vite, Gelish and couple of other brands.

How much do they sell for?
Hold you breath...

OPI -> $4.25
Zoya -> $4
Essie -> $3.50
Orly -> $3.75
China Glaze -> $3 (If you buy 10 bottles then $2.75 per bottle)

They also had 32 Oz of Zoya Remove+ for $18 and 16 Oz of Posh Top coat and a lot of other good stuff.

These are some of the items I brought from them. I am definitely going back to this shop when I go to my parents home at the end of the semester.

Wild Flower!

Hello,

For this post, I saw something similar on eBay last week and it was an airbrush design with just one metallic color. I tried to look for the design so that I could provide the link but could not find it. This is a tutorial so you can follow the steps to achieve this nail art. As always, have fun with it.

Finally! My First Blog.

Hello,

I am so excited to finally have my own nail blog. I have been following a couple of nail blogs recently and those ladies have greatly motivated me to start my own nail blog and show my passion or rather obsession with nail polish. It feels really weird writing this down when I know, I am the only one reading it, but I really hope that someday other nail polish lovers like me will read it too.

I will start with the nail polish that kind of started this obsession. It was by OPI called Por Favor. At first it looks like a cream, but there is subtle silver shimmer to it that makes it really beautiful. It goes on perfect with two coats. I used Seche Vite top coat.
