Festive Indian Nail Art

So I missed blogging as I was taking a trip to Paris 😁 

So I'll try and start posting a bit regularly again. Meanwhile here's a mani I had done around Diwali (indian festival of lights) and It really went well with the festive atmosphere.

Base: Picture Polish Lakodom

Stamping Plate: Moyou Flower Power 10

Stamping Polish: MDU Turquoise

Blue dots: Barry M Damson

Purple Gradient

Heres a nice gradient that I did using Picture Polish. The effect came out nice as if it was a thermal polish in-between it colour changing state.

Base: Picture Polish Grace

Sponged on with: PP Grace, Spring and Allure

For the Accent: I applied latex on the sides and sponged on the same polishes in reverse order

Then removed latex

All topped with hkgirl

Picture Polish Gala : Floral Nails with Stamping decal

Another gorgeous polish from Picture polish. This one is Gala. A very blue toned purple with silver/white flecks. Goes opaque in 2 coats. No streaks, dries fast.

Base: Picture polish Gala

Stamping plate: Uber Chic 9-02

Stamping polish: Mdu cream

Decals filled with Picture polish Paris (reborn)

PP Gala Swatch

ZigZag Stripes : Picture Polish Fools gold swatch

Another pretty polish swatched and off my untried list.

This one is Picture Polish Fool's Gold.

Base: Picture Polish Fool's Gold

Design using nail vinyls with Picture Polish Allure (this is is my go to shade for vinyls..goes opaque in one stroke and easy to peel off the vinyls..doesnt get stringy and drag other stuff around)

All topped with HKgirl

Here's a swatch of Picture Polish Fool's Gold

Its a bright turquoise with gold glitter and flecks. Goes opaque in 3 coats. Dries fast.

I didnt need to use the foil method to remove this. Just had to soak cotton pads in remover and dab on a bit longer. 

Really loved this shade! Happy I got it after lemming for ages about it.

Cute hearts with Picture Polish Merge

Picture polish released this pretty shade earlier this year and I got around 10 pp straight from Aussie. (follow me on IG to keep up with my hauls ( @nailartnthings ); got loads from mdu, ucb, bm and another mdu is on its way. 

Somebody take away my internet pls!! This is my worst ever no-buy phase !)

Base: Picture Polish Merge

Stamping plate: Uber chic beauty 1-01

Stamping polish: MDU Nabu

All topped with HKgirl

For the mani I made decals so as to get the placing right..Still havent got my hands on a jelly stamper.

Its a really pretty Taupe-nud* on me. Filled with loads of silver flakies which look lightly scattered holo when the lights hit it. Goes opaque in two coats (one thin, one slightly thick) Dries super fast just like most pp; even in this hot humid weather. Have a look upclose at this one (macro below). 

Its a shade that will suit all skin tones and look good on any occassion.
