The Battle Nail Polish Challenge Day 1

Hello,

I am so excited to be a part of The Battle Nail Polish Challenge as it has been a really long time since I last participated in a nail challenge. This is my first post for the this Challenge. The theme for today's nails was to create a green and blue manicure. I really like how this manicure turned out. I hope you guys like it too. 

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Song. 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 1 mm neon green glitters on the tips of all the fingers except the ring finger on which I drew the spiral design using the same glitters.

St. Patricks Day Nails

Hello,

Happy St. Patricks day everyone! I hope you had a great time. I am down from cold and fever so was in my bed all day :( but still got a chance to do my nails. I think I have an attachment to green polish as it makes me feel relaxed. I used stamping for his design and I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Shawn. Then using a Shany stamping image plate SH12 I stamped the shamrocks using Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen in Green Chrome and China Glaze 2030. After that I applied green glitter in the middle of each shamrock.

Green on Green

Hello,

It is hard to believe that today is 31st of January. This month just flew by. I am planning on doing Valentine's Day series, it just means that I will try to upload new Valentine's Day theme mani everyday or every other day.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Dree. Then using a fauxnad plate B25 (picture of the plate at bottom) I stamped the flowers using Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen (that was a mouthful name) in shade Green Chrome. These pens are really good for stamping and are less messier than polishes. I stamped the big flower on the first two fingers and small flower on my pinkie (big flower was looking kinda awkward on pinkie). On my thumb and ring finger I stamped the whole design. I applied 2mm  and 1.5mm rhinestones on my ring finger.

The plate I used is similar to Konad M26.

Christmas Nails

Hello,

Merry Christmas! I am really late for posting my Christmas nails as I was busy traveling and visiting my family. I am having a very good time with my family and glad that my semester is over.

For this, I used Zoya Holly (click Holly to see the swatches) and Essie Blanc and also used some red and golden micro beads that I brought from Ebay. I do not like these beads at all as they bleed really bad. I have to dab my top coat on so that the red color from the beads would not bleed onto my white nail polish.

The Perfect Green

Hello,

I knew I wanted this color as soon as Zoya released its Gems & Jewels collection for holidays (2011). I do not own many green polishes, so I was excited to add it into my collection. I was happy to see this polish in person, it was love at first sight. Holly is such a festive color, perfect for Christmas.

Zoya Holly is a perfect metallic green color with subtle yellow tones. It is opaque in one coat but I used two coats to even it out. I am assuming that Holly will be good for stamping too, not that I want to waste such a beautiful color for stamping.

Indoors

I am including this close up picture to show how gorgeous Holly is and you can see the subtle yellow tones and its metallic finish here.
