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..

NOTD: stamping Lucky Lucky Lavender

Hello Gals,
apologies for being so far away from my blog or even internet.. u all must be knowing above me moving to UK.. i was super busy last month in meeting relatives.. doing other arrangements of shifting stuff to in-laws place etc etc... i cldnt find time to even do my own nails :( ... bt finally m back in action... yo...

now u all gonna see lots of polish swatches, nail arts, stamping nd lot more :)..  coming to the post lemme first tell u tht my mom also love nail arts and i gt lovely nails from her only :)...  so when i was at my mom's place she asked me 2 do her nails.. after a long discussion (rather jhagda :D)  we come to a final design.. 

so for this i use OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender as base color and then stamped it with Konad Special Polish in Blue and finally stick a flower fimo at the base..
we both so luv this stamp.. i did the same stamp on her toe nails also but with White special polish over Red base color :)
 
 
she carried this for whole week un-chipped after tht v both get bored with this nd she removed it herself :)

hope u all like this

Luv

NOTD: Inglot 955 and first hand on OB stamping plates

Hello Gals,
how you all are doing.. I am so busy  these days and thats why I am not able to give time to nails and my baby blog  :(... bt i promise as soon as i get free i will pamper it with all my luv... <3 <3..  this post is about my first Inglot NP.. you might be knowing abt the Inglot 25% sale on mother's day.. i got this NP along with some other Inglot cosmetics..

what Inglot says about the polish:
"Durable, matte, medium drying time formula DOES NOT CONTAIN:- toluene- formaldehyde- dibutyl phthalate (DBP)- camphor Apply two coats Make sure that first coat is completely dry before applying second one. Some shades look best with three coats. NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS 15ML/0.51 US FL OZ"
 
Price: INR 490/- but i got it at 25% off.. i think its a bit pricey.. you can easily get an OPI or CG for this price
 
 
Application: its a creamy pretty blue color..application is nice i applied 2 coats of the polish.. brush size is descents for short nails but for wide and big nails it will take 3 strokes to cover whole nail.. above pic is taken without top coat. 
 
gals plz excuse me for blurry pics ny SLR isnt with me nd this camera just not  letting me focus..
I stamped this with OB13 image plate( which i got from Kejal.. she had an extra set of these plates) and konad white special polish.
i messed index finger in hurry of applying top coat :( ... 
whtz ur experience with Inglot NPs.
 
Luv 
Dimpal
