Swatch Krizia Purple Haze : Simple Nail using vinyls

Another Krizia beauty from their new range of holo glitters

Krizia Purple Haze is a purple leaning to blue with micro glitters in a tinted base.

2 coats to opaque but this needed more time to dry. I suspect the hot humid weather here is causing this. Slightly patchy but the second coat almost smoothes things over.

Base: Krizia Purple Haze

Happy Valentines Day

Wishing all my readers a very happy valentines day!!! Hope you have a super day filled with love and special moments. 

Here's the mani I actually have on me today. I just wanted to put something simple .. Ok I admit I just wanted to paint my nails than go bare nails :p

Base: Faces Savita Matte (yeah u read right)

Now I like that this brand is really launching products and trying to catch up with global nail trends however they could be a bit creative with the shade names. Not only the nail polishes but quite a few of their lip sticks and other items are also named after other iconic shades from other brands. I have swatches of their green matte shade earlier.. It's called Veruschka. :D

Ok now coming back to this shade. It's a nice purple. With red shimmers. Dries matt as the name suggests. However the first coat was really streaky and patchy. Had to apply a thicker second coat to smooth it properly. The brush on this was horrible. Had strands poking out. But I do like the end result. A dark royal purple.

Sponged a bit of sandy gold on the tips and free handed a tiny heart with pink polish. Cute but not over the top. 

Ok. Heading out for my dinner date.

What did u do today?

Simply Studded: Simple Nail Art

This is "that" mani which got scraped last time.

Such a pretty shade! Its OPI's Funky Dunkey from the Forever Shrek collection.

I love it even more when matt-ified. Mental note to self: use this polish more oten.

I had these studs with me form the born pretty store. Thought they would make a simple and sophisticated nail art look.  These are 1.5mm in dia. Here's a link for them---> Link  

They are really cool and simple to apply. Just dot a clear top coat using a tooth pick and stick them. 

Look at the quantity they send! I dont think I'll run out of these in this lifetime! 

I really liked using them and might probably get the other varieties they have in these studs..square, elliptic, hearts and neons too! they also have this box of mix shaped ones (link)

Stayed on my nails for 2 days, would have lasted a day more but I kept picking on my nails.

They sell for $5.86/bag but you get 10% discount if you use code KJ5X31

:D

*Born pretty studs were sent for review but the opinion is an honest one.

Simple festive nail art

Nothing too fancy today. Just a lil twist to a plain mani.

The red is something I picked from my moms stash though I doubt she had ever opened it.

the gold is a chambor jewel nail polish no.12. Mom said dad picked this Chambor for her when he went to a shop and she couldnt find a decent polish in her stash. I went Awww..how chweet!

Wore this to an indian baby shower function for a relative.

Someone once told me these are called brazilian tips.

Belated Summer Stripes

Now this is a mani I had done before the smell of polish got to me. Hence the title. It was summer then you see.

Base is a hot pink miss Claire polish. No shade name.

I had tried to make random sized stripes in random order but somehow the final effect was not something I had wanted. Probably not a good combi or my freehand sucks or both.

Ok now I go try something else. Ta-da
