NOTD: Textured Zig-Zag!!!

Hi,  
Hope you all  had nice weekend and a great start of this week. I am late by a day in posting this manicure. I did this manicure for AiS tweekly challenge and the theme was "stamp using two or more stamping polishes".. however i didn't share this manicure there as the two polishes i used is looking almost same in pictures.. color difference is quite visible in person but it doesn't show up in pictures. 

I did a zig-zag pattern on Jesse's Girl cosmetics limited edition JulieG frosted gum drops Hot Cinnamon. These polishes were in my lemming list from so long and sadly these are not available in UK so my friend send them to me from US.. I never swatched them on blog because there are already so many swatches all over the internet...but i will definitely show swatches when i do a manicure using them so here is Hot Cinnamon: please excuse my index finger nail.. i accidentally cracked it on the corner with  knife and i cant chop them further down to make them of same size.
JulieG frosted gum drop Hot Cinnamon
Hot Cinnamon is a cherry red texture polish with gold shimmer. This polish looks so beautiful both with and without top coat. I used 2 coats for the pictures:

Here is the zig zag manicure i done on it:
julieG texture polish hot cinnamon without top coat
products used:

nail polish: JulieG hot cinnamon
stamping polish: nyc foil aqua mystic(blue foil) and magic earth(green foil)
stamping plate: cheeky jumbo plate 5 musical nails

As you can see both polishes look similar in picture but that is the fault of my camera.

I then applied top  coat on it and  hot cinnamon got all sparkled up. It looked so beautiful with top coat on.. so sparkly and gorgeous.

So do you like it with top coat or without top coat??

Black Beauty!!!

Hello, 

I told you in my previous post that my left  hand finger nails are nubbins now however i havn't chopped down my dominant(right) hand nails because they were looking so lovely as oppose to nubbins.. i try to keep  my both hands as far as possible from each other so nobody notice difference in nail length ...lol thts silly i knw :D :D

I did a manicure on my dominant hand. It wasn't easy thing to do especially when you have to share it with everyone and it should be neat. This  is a striping tape plus stamping manicure. Ok one thing i strictly instructed to mention here is to mention mr. husband ...he helped me in clicking pictures and placing striping tape. He was even ready to stamp but he really sucks not good in that and i surely didn't want to ruin my base.

Anyway here is my manicure:
moyou kitty plate collection 02
 products used

base polishes: Orly Coachella Dweller,  OPI alpine snow
stamping  polish: konad special  black

striping tape manicure
orly coachella dweller, opi alpin snow
rose and stripe nail art
clicking your dominant hand is another challenge. I am used to certain pose of my left hand for taking shots but i couldn't make my right hand to pose like that and even when i managed it once or twice,  it wasn't looking tht good. 

If you follow me on Facebook,  you must know about latest news from Moyou. They started shipping orders and gonna add lots of more plates today and next friday.

hope you like this mani .. do you also face same challenges while doing nail art on your dominant hand finger nails. 

Happy Weekend!!!

Nyc Foil Enchanting Fire on Stamping Action- A Friendship Day manicure

Hi, 

Hope you all had a great weekend. I watched Smurf 2 yesterday and i like it(fact is i like most of animation movies because of cute figures and bright colors).  We celebrated International Nail Art Day on 3rd August. Sadly i come to know very late about this so i cldn't do a manicure for it. 

We celebrate Friendship day on the first Sunday of August in India which was yesterday, so me along with my few Indian nail blogger friends decided to do a collaboration post. Theme for the post is yellow. 

Since this sunday AiS theme was "to do a manicure with stamping plate that ends with 8" so i decided to do a friendship day manicure with cheeky jumbo 8 Princess Charming(lol  i was on super management action). 

Here is my manicure:

Friendship Day Nail Art
products i used:

base polish: nyc lexington yellow
stamping  polish: nyc foil enchanting fire
stamping plate: cheeky jumbo plate 8 princess charming
added some glequin from Born Pretty Store and a statement rose decoration from Moyou

Enjoy the pictures...

NYC foils stamps very well same as barry m foils. I bought two nyc foils(Enchanting Fire and Aqua Mystic) but i went to market yesterday and grabbed Magic Earth (green foil).

I know my watermark is little irritating in these pic as it is very huge. I didn'tcheck it before saving :(.. 

I hope you like this manicure. 

Please check what other girls did for their Friendship Day collaboration. 

Happy Frindship Day!!!!! I am glad to find you all.

Suede Love: W7 Mauve Suede

Hi,  

If you follow me on Instagram than you may saw picture of w7 mauve suede which i posted yesterday. I love suede polishes. I bought w7 suede collection long time back and then forgot about them. So, I was thinking about what to do for today's mani and while organizing polishes I saw these polishes. This collection has 6 polishes.

w7 Mauve Suede is rather purple shade. Polishes is pretty opaque and just one coat needed for my nails though i applied a thin second coat. It dries super fast but wearing time is terrible if you dont apply top coat(which you dont want to apply as this is suede polish).

 I did a halfmoon stamping manicure using cheeky 2013 jumbo plate. 

products i used:

polish- w7 mauve suede
stamping plate- cheeky 2013 jumbo plate 5 musical nails
stamping polish- barry m silver foil

I use only one third part of the image to stamp. This image is a full nail image and i stamped the whole image on my thumb.

 so, hope you like this manicure. Please leave your comments.

thank you.
