Halloween Series: Gothic Damask Pattern Nail Art!!

Hello, 

Buying new polishes is the most exciting thing to do for nail polish addicts. We sleep late in night, waiting for new restocks, wait for mailman like crazy and nothing in the world gives us as much happiness as getting a nail mail. We buy and buy and sometime when we casually go through nail storage, we find hidden untried polish gems.  Well, that is what happened with me yesterday. I was looking for my clean up brush and i went through my a-england polishes row to see if the brush fall down there somehow. I couldnt find thr brush there but A-England Jane Eyre caught my eye and i remembered that i loved this polish and was so excited to get it but never tried it.  So, that's how i chose the base for today's manicure.

Happy Diwali !!!

Hello, 

Today is Diwali, a very auspicious and most celebrated Indian festival. Diwali is also called "festival of lights" and is celebrated for victory of light over darkness, good over evil.  We also worship goddess lakshmi on this day and light up oil lamps to welcome goddess. Fireworks are also important part of the Diwali.  I remember the whole neighborhood gather outside their houses and burst firecrackers for hours. It was so much fun, this was the second best part which i use to love as kid, best part was getting gifts. Anyway, what i want to say is that, I love Diwali and miss celebrating it with family in India.  

Here, I am sharing my Diwali nail art , featuring some of the aspects of Diwali.

Cirque Kontiki Collection "Dear Dahlia" Review + Breast Cancer Awareness Nail Art

Hello, 

As I mentioned earlier, I am doing pink manicures on all Fridays this month and also(check my first mani here), this week's second prompt for pick n mix challenge is Pink. Today, I have Dear Dahlia from Cirque Kontiki Collection. 

Dear Dahlia is hot pink jelly with green shimmer. At certain angle it also reflect hints of purple violet shade. Formula is very nice and even. It requires two to three coats depending upon how opaque you want it. It dries semi-matte so definitely need a top coat. I applied 3 coats of the polish and top coat for following pictures.

52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge - 2 Colour Gradient and Teal

Hello, 

So, yes as name suggests, I am participating in this new challenge organized by a facebook group, I am part of. In 52 week pick n mix challenge, there will be two challenge prompts(one technique and other color) for each week. one can either do two different manis for each of them or can combine both and do a single mani. Another rule is to try oldies or untried polishes to create manis, which i really like as i have lots of untried polishes. 

This week's prompts are "2 color gradient" and color "teal". I decided to combine them and do a single mani. Here's my manicure.
