Tutorial & NOTD: New Nail Trend- Velvet finish Nails Look

Hi,

Happy Friendship Day to u all (belated)...  i am so grateful to blogging cause i come to knw so many nice ppl and learn really a lot.. this friendship day was even more special as we blog friends did a secret friend gifts exchange thing.. :)... 

coming to the today's post the other day i was surfing internet and come to know about this Velvet finish nail look and i just get clean bowled.. it looked so so catchy tht i want it on my nails right thn... here's what i did:

Velvet finish manicure or flock manicure is a new trend in Manicure World... and the hero of this manicure is a flocking powder which is a  made up of masse of tiny fibers and gives a super velvety finish. i got my set from ebay.

Here's how to do it: 

1.Apply base coat and then 2 coats of base polish(Barry M Strawberry Ice cream which is closest match to my pink flocking powder)

2. when the base color dries completely apply clear top coat on ur one nail and either dip ur nail in flocking powder or pour some flocking powder over it.

3. press gently with ur finger tip in tap-tap motion and dust off the excess powder on a paper.

4. repeat step 2 and 3 for each of ur nail one at a time.

Ta-dahh and its done..

 doesnt it looks like yummy candy floss :) 

and boy it was super soft and velvety on touch .. i just keep touching it every now and then..

its waterproof and the powder doesn't fall out.. i did dishes like 2-3 times.. cooked food.. and hell lots of other work as i just shifted to new room

it stayed only for a day on me because i was doing hell lot of physical work but i think it can stay pretty descent for 2-3 days and no doubts it amazing for fun outings and any special occasions.

so gals what u say .. is it a Yay or Nay !!!!

Review n NOTD: Chameleon Color Changing Effect from Barry M

Hi, 
how was ur weekend gals?? mine was one of the awesome .. i did a lil TBS haul saw movie and thn went for Beach Volleyball and Hockey Olympics match sessions on sunday and monday .. :) i wanted to do mani for each of the event bt cldnt find time for a single :( ..  so today's post is about another effect post for lazy polish lovers .. it's Chameleon Effect polish range from Barry M.. these are just for £3.99 for 10ml

from L-R 330 chameleon pink, 331 chameleon blue and 332 chameleon lilac.

How does these work

1. Apply a basecoat and then apply one coat of your chameleon nail paint and allow to dry 

2. Apply second coat and allow to dry 

3. Create a design with your clear nail paint and watch it change color

My Experience

the shade i am reviewing here is Chameleon Blue.. its a pearly finish soft blue shade which is quite opaque in a single coat 

i applied 2 coats of the polish and let it dry as instructed after that i did a lil tape mani using top coat and whoa the color changed where i apply the top coat into a nice burgundy color.

nice n quite simple.. isnt it?? i did a lil NOTD too.

i liked this effect very much except tht it got chipped in 3 days :( 

also i wish there are more color available in this range

do u like this ???

Barry M Croc Effect Nail Polish

Hola Gals,
weekend is here....  wht are ur plans for this weekend :).. I am planning a picnic this saturday essentially with sandwiches ;)... nywayz the point is m here with my latest favorite polish Barry M Croc Effect from my recent haul( u can check the post HERE)... only thing i wanna say abt it is AWESOME...

What they say about it: Croc Nail Effects is a stunning development following the best selling crackle range. These cracks appear in a more uniform mock-croc style pattern.

How To Use: Apply a base colour, after a few minutes when the nail paint is still a bit tacky apply a coat of Croc Nail Effects. Watch the amazing effect appear in a few minutes. The effect takes a bit longer to appear than the crackle but it is worth it!

My Experience: I applied a base coat followed by two coats of Barry M Gold Foil which i reviewed HERE..

when the 2nd coat is still tacky i applied a medium coat of croc effect and waited till it dry..

i so luv it as its being so different from regular crackle polishes available in terms of type of cracks.. truly a crocodile pattern...

the size of cracks can be adjusted by how thick or thin ur coat is.. the thinner the coat smaller the cracks..

finally i sealed it with a quick dry top coat.. only issue is tht it comes in only a singl color tht is black. iwish thy hav more color option to choose from..

isnt it lovely.... <3 <3 <3.. plz do comment..
