A England Sleeping Palace: Pattern Nail Art and Swatch

I hauled some lovely polishes from A-England from the color4nails.com site during their anniversary sale. First up let me tell you that they are one of the best polishes I have used. Brilliant one coaters most of them and they look like glowing from within. They are super smooth to apply and dry in no time! Show stopper today is: Sleeping palace (link) from the Burne-Jones-Dream Collection

Base: A-England Sleeping Palace

Stamping plate: Pueen 34

Stamping polish: Bells of Ireland from M-Polish (link)

Topped with hkgirl

Also a quick word on this stamping polish. Its pearly light green and it shows up really well on darker bases. I have reviewed around 9 stamping polishes from M-polishes and they have all passed with flying colours. There's a new one called "To and to Holo" and yup..its a holo stamping polish! That is certainly going in my wishlist and I also need some really awesome neon stamping polishes.

So this formed in my head and looked way cooler and easy to do. Especially after you see a bunch of vinyl videos and they make the whole thing look like a breeze. And then you feel like a pro yourself ..lol!

Yeah this mani got me to my knees! but lets skip the unpleasant part.

I completely love both these polishes!

Outer space (link; Rs.75/-) is has duo chrome green-blue and gold glitter in a black jelly polish base. Applied 3-4 coats for complete coverage.

Green Glitz (link; Rs.75/-) is a shimmery chartruese base with pale gold and green-gold duo chrome glitter. I was quite surprised how nice green glitz looked after I swatched it. Quite Lovely!

Applied 3 coats for complete coverage.

Both dried fast! Priced at around 

Heres a macro of Outer Space (Looooove at first sight!!)

Stay Quirky review Crazy Good Sand Effect

Another mani with my new SQ polishes

Base: SQ So crazy

Stamping plate: B.Loves Mind blown 03

Stamping polish: Konad black

Crazy Good (link; available on purplle.com) is a shimmery medium turquoise blue shade; with a sand effect finish. I really like this shade and this is something that I was looking forward to when Maybelline had launched their glitter mania line. But that was very few shades and was missing a turquoise in particular. This polish has very fine shimmer and super fine glitter. It can be a bit tough to remove it, so I have used a glue base under this polish.

I applied 2 coats in the pic above. It dries fast..3-4 mins.

Price is Rs.150/- for 8ml (mrp is Rs.200/- and they have some promotions going on).

The brand says its a part of the sand effect line where you can get gritty granular effect. 

Started chipping on the tips on the 3rd day.

Stay Quirky Pink-a-licious Nail Art

Here's another post using my new SQ polishes

Base SQ Pink-a-licious

Stamping plate: Uber Chic 3-02

Stamping polish: Snowberry from M-polish (link) Nice pearl white shade!!

Pink-a-licious (link; available on purplle.com) is a dark pink creme shade. It has a nice glossy finish and applies smooth.

I applied 2 coats in the pic above. It dries nicely..say around 5-7 minutes.

Price is Rs.113/- for 6ml (mrp is Rs.150/- and they have some promotions going on)

The brand says its a part of the gel finish line where you can get effect of gel finish without using UV light to cure. Its good at the price of Rs.113/- lasted 2 days on me without chipping.
