Black and White Challenge Day 9

Hello,

This is my ninth post for the Black and White Nail Challenge. The theme for today's nails was  water marbling. It is hard to believe that this nail challenge is almost over, only one more nail challenge day left. This is the first time I did water marbling and I had such a hard time. I experimented with so many polishes that did not work at all. 

For this, I applied 2 coats of Essie Blanc. After it dried I started working on the water marbling. This is the order I used the Polishes for water marbling: Zoya Raven, Essie Blank, Zoya Trixie, China Glaze Adore, and at last China Glaze Admire. I really like how my ring finger turned out but other than that it is a mess especially my pinkie and index finger. Hopefully with practice I will get better at this. 

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

Valentine's Day Nails 11

Hello,

This is my eleventh 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 Zoya Raven. Then using the Red Angel Plate 114 I stamped the heart design on all the fingers using China Glaze Admire. Admire is a very good stamping polish. 

Valentine's Day Nails 8

Hello,

This is my eighth post for the Valentine's Day series. I was very skeptical about this design and was wondering that should I even post it. My reason: too much pink :D

For this, I applied 3 coats of Essie Secret Stash. On my accent finger I drew three straight thick lines using  Royal Fuchsia acrylic paint on the sides and Lavender in the middle. Then outlined these lines with black acrylic paint. After everything dried I drew a heart in the middle using red acrylic paint and outlined it with black paint. On my other fingers and thumb I drew the same lines but only half way through and then made a horizontal line to make it look like a beam. After it dried made a small heart in middle. Last step which I regretted doing was the dots in red and black acrylic paint.

Valentine's Day Nails 3

Hello,

This is my third post of the Valentine's Day series. It is a very simple design using acrylic paints and dotting tool. I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Sooki on accent finger and 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Bubble Gum Pink on remaining fingers and thumb. Then using Royal Fuchsia I covered the sides of the nail(Metallic Red on accent finger). After it dried I drew a line using Turquoise ( Metallic Green on accent finger) acrylic paint where Royal Fuchsia paint ended and added a lavender acrylic paint (Metallic Brown on accent finger)line in the middle of it. Using the same lavender acrylic paint I drew three hearts in the middle section using a dotting tool. On the accent finger I added three green heart rhinestones. 

Valentine's Day Nails 1

Hello,

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.

Pretty Areej

Hello,

I wish the winter break can last forever as I am having such a good time with my family. I am really grateful to Zoya that they did the Flash Promo's before Christmas and I was able to grab Zoya Areej. It came out in the summer of 2011 in Zoya's Summertime Collection.

For this, I used Zoya Areej which is a cool muted fuchsia pink color. It is a cream finish that goes on opaque in one coat but I used two coats to even it out. The consistency is little bit on the thicker side but it is manageable.

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.
