NOTD: Negative Space Stamping

Hello, 

Today i have a beautiful manicure to share with you. I recently got Lina stamping plates from Hypnotic Polish. I wanted to try these plates from a long time and since i started doing manicures again first thing i did was ordering these plates😄. I bought two plates and today's manicure i created using "Totally Negative 02" stamping plate.

33DC22- Three Color Gradient+Pattern

Hi,

Hope you had a great weekend. Its started getting very cold here and now the days are shorter too. It gives really a very little time to do a manicure when you have a habit of doing manicures in late afternoons. I watched Gravity and I like Captain Phillips more.

Today's theme at 33DC as well as ILL challenge is "Three Color Gradient + a Pattern". Three colors i chose for this manicure are orange, dark orange and pink and I saw this combination somewhere on the internet and i wanted to try it.

Barry M Texture: Station Road Swatch & NOTD

Hi, 

2013 is an year for texture polishes. Many brands like OPI, Nail Inc., Zoya , Barry M  etc. already launched their textured polishes and  there are many more yet to come. I have shown you OPI's gorgeous texture polishes from Mariah Carey Collection(you can see the post here) already. Last month Barry M also launched their textured polishes.  Surprisingly i bought only one polish from the collection.

Station Road is a soft yellow texture polish with subtle shimmer. Although the shimmer is very noticeable in the bottle but it hardly show on the nail. If u are like me and decided to see it on nail any hard way by keeping ur nails at different angles thn u may see it. 

I didnt face any problem while applying it infact it is my first yellow polish that's non-streaky. Texture polishes applies like any other polish its only after they get dry, you can see and feel texture. Two coats of Station Road in following pics: 

can you see the shimmer in bottle.. i sponged Barry M Blueberry Ice-cream on tips . Good thing is texture remain intact after sponging. 

I guess i did almost all big nail art experiments with this polish :D.. I stamped it with Gals GA44 here:

Base: Barry M Station Road and Blueberry Icecream(sponged and dots)

Stamping Plate: GA44

Stamping Polish: Moyou Black

I misplaced stamp on index but i hope tht's ok cause overall i am loving this mani and still wearing this. 

I then applied 2 coats of Seche Vite(1 thick and 1 thin) to smooth out the texture and whoa the shimmer got visible.

Finally, removing this polish was not as tough as glitters but yeah a very little more effort than removing regular polish.

Hope  you will like this  manicure. Do you like textures or not?? I know many girls around who doesn't but I am a fan :)

Hi, 

how you all doing today.. i had a fun weekend.. so all warmed up nd entering to week with full energy :)

so today's theme is Gradient nails.. i thought it wont be much  fight to do these nails as gradients all the easiest to do(ok i thought so :P )... but when i did the  mani i messed not 1, 2 bt 3 times to get the perfect look.. first look wht i finally created:

 

polishes used :barry m lemon ice cream and berry ice cream

so this was the one who satisfied my inner nail artist ..

nd here are the disasters:

i used kleancolor pastel yellow,mango  and pastel yellow 

i didnt like it as the texture was not smooth and looked bubbly ..:( then i tried second time 

same polishes except i used orly hype instead of kleancolor mango bt i didnt like this too ...

then i again created one with stamped barry m foils nd i like tht gradient bt stamps was not relly going with it so dropped tht too...

Finally, i  created the right one :)
