Its a beautiful purple filled with holo flakies. The flakies give a very vibrant rainbow in direct light and the effect is that of a scattered rainbow. 2-3 coats make it opaque. Dries fast.
The holo in this is much more pronounced than those of Picture polish scatter holos.
Here's a swatch of it in direct light to show you the holo:

L'oreal Color Rich Le Nail Art Stickers: Review

Hellooo!! Good morning or afternoon!
Long time no see. I finally managed to open the locked polish cabinet and as luck would have had it, my internet service was conked off for a few days. Life is seriously difficult without internet!!

Today I have on review, L'oreal Paris' Color Riche Le Nail Art Stickers.
L'oreal has recently released these 3-D nail art stickers here in India. 
Here's a small snipet from their PR on these: 
"Need a manicure but don’t have time to wait for the polish to dry? Get ready to get FashioNAILable with L’Oreal Paris Le Nail Art stickers.

Inspired from luxury fabrics, these stickers are easy to use and can stay on for upto10 days.  We have three timeless collections that create ultimate nail wardrobe ranges:


Couture- Nail stickers that are inspired from the latest catwalk trends

L’Or- The timeless black and gold nail art stickers can add a vintage feel to your look

Diamantisse - Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! These stickers aren’t just stickers, they are nail diamonds!


What makes these nail stickers so unique?

The Nail Stickers are easy to apply. You just have to select a sticker that fits your nail, apply the sticker on your nail, fold the remaining over your nail tip and file off the remaining.

What makes these stickers different from the others?

1.       Zero Application Mistakes: Since the stickers are easy to apply, chances of any mistake is nil

2.       Zero Dry Time: Since these are stickers, you do not have to wait for it to dry! It saves you of all the misery of waiting for your nail colour to dry. Isn’t that a blessing?

3.       Doesn’t require a nail colour remover: When you feel like changing your sticker, all you have to do is, peel it off. It’s that simple!

4.       Zero Nail Damage: Worried if these stickers will damage your nails? Here’s the good news. The stickers are safe to use and will not damage your nails.

  The nail stickers not only glam up your look but also give your personality a whole new definition. Truly, nails are your style canvas! It’s time to get FashioNAILable, instantly!


Give your nails a luxurious makeover. Treat them with sophistication with Le Nail Art Stickers. Match your mood and your outfit with these fun nail stickers. All it takes is few minutes of your time."


I loved the black and gold ones the most. These stickers are textured, hence the 3-D claim. Designs are nice and very wearable. you can check other designs here: Loreal's facebook Page





 These Stickers cost: Rs 299/- for a single pack for 18 stickers. Adjusting for various sizes and fits of a person's nails, you'd get one wear out of these. They are sturdy material and wont tear when you remove or apply them.
However I find the pricing a bit steep for one manicure. But yeah considering if you are someone who goes to nail spa's for ur manis, this is a cheaper option.
I have a small pic demo if you are keen to try them: coz I found it a bit tricky to apply them cleanly.

1) remove the sticker from the package. Peel by holding the end of the sticker that will go on your tips. So incase you get a crease or fold, that end is extra long and will be cut off.

2) First place the tip of the sticker carefully over the base of your nails, aligning the sides in a straight line. See pic below. 

 3) now as shown press the sticker in sequence as shown, slightly tugging at the sides/ends to make sure there are no creases and folds in the centre and sides.


4) You can cut off the excess with a scissor or file it down as shown on the package. just be gentle when filing and do it in one direction from top to down. and you're DONE!! 
Ta-daaaa! 
I managed to place most stickers nicely except the pointer finger which got a bit creased at the tip and side.

Overall they r a bit pricey and tricky to apply. While id o like the textured feel, they didnt last me long. One shower and I had the ends starting to loosen up. I'd recommend these if you dont have the time to do a fancy mani and are really keen to spice up your nails for an evening.

Till I see you next! xx

Lacey Sticker Nail Art


Lately I have been really hung up on lacey dresses and tops so when I came across this lacey sticker I grabbed it up asap. Mind you not just this one..there are more where this came from :D


The base is a Miss Claire Polish (made in Korea). There is no shade name but just a no. A13.

I loved the finish of this polish..Very Foil like but shimmered a lot in light. Almost like the foil was broken in tiny pieces. Anyone know this finish is called exactly?

Miss Claire markets this as a one stroke polish but it took me 2 coats to make opaque.

Last weekend I had gone on an offsite visit from my office. It is supposed to be like a semi work thing where we get to have fun while we also have to sit through a couple of presentations. This year was a really short trip to a resort nearby. We went to Radisson Blu at Alibaug, just a couple of hours away. Nice resort, but the food wasnt that great. I had good fun overall.



I wore this mani for the trip as I was really short of time the night before leaving. 
Applied the stickers and topped with SV.

What kinda manis do you do when you are short of time?

Caramel Truffle Nail Art + Viviana Moody Concoction

Now...who doesnt like Caramel Truffle???
No. Think again?


Viviana's Moody Concoction is a Light Caramel coloured gooey simmering liquid!
Yeah..reminds me of Caramel filled Truffles..Sluuurrrppp!

Image from: Google

Here's a swatch of Moody Concoction. Light Golden Shimmer in Caramel.
Unlike Blinding Splash Viviana, this one gave me no trouble at all.
The application was smooth, dried fast. 2 coats made it smooth and opaque.
No Streaks, no VNL (visible nail line). Last on me almost 4 days with top coat.
Overall I was quite happy with this polish. 
I also like this shade, caramel-ley, as if  i havent said that enough :p

Here's my NOTD with Nail stickers..the ones I used in My Oriental Nail Art

Like it?

Oriental Express Art

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well. Well I am back from my holiday and full of fresh ideas and a "BIG" haul of nail stuff (post coming up soon after I sort out my bags). Meanwhile I wanted to put up this mani that I had while I was on my holiday. I didnt want to carry too much stuff to do my nails on my holiday as I knew my bags would be over-stuffed while returning. All I carried with me was a top coat and a few nail stickers. 
I already had on me this nude base with silver french tips that I left on for a few days and applied top coat after 2nd day so it lasted me another 2 days.


After 4 days I applied a few nail art stickers in black and white to create this classic oriental look.

This turned out to be quite eye-catching and I had people starring and following my hands. LOL!!
I did apply top coats every other day or after 2 days and this mani stuck with me for 8 days!! :o)

How did you like this?
Do follow my blog if you like what you see and leave your comments and thoughts below.
I love reading them

Flower Power

Hi,
Please excuse my week long hiatus. My parents left yesterday for Canada on a month long vacation and I was helping them pack, plus we had a long weekend last week so I was completely off the computer, and out with my mom helping her shop for the trip. This mani below, is what I was wearing last week. I had wanted to do a nude base since quite some time and a full nail stamp design. So thats what I did.

 Base: Nude from Streetwear
Stamping: Konad violet pearl with BM 205
Although the top coat smudged the stamp a bit, I thought the overall look was quite cute and girly.
I also put a few nail stickers in pink to make it fun.
(indoors with flash)
Do let me know your comments and thoughts on this flower power.

Oh! and if you are from Canada or know about it, can you recommend any polish brands for holographic,crackle and stamping polishes(non konad kinds), that  I can call for. Ciao
