Striping tape nail art and two more!

Wanted to try out striping nails since a long time. And had some new polishes to try as well. Plus gradients always look so good. And the result is this:


 Base: maybelline color show constant candy: a nice baby pink with mild shimmers but was streaky. 
Added some striping tape in random manner.
Sponged: Faces sand coat in oatmeal raisin. 

I love how this turned out.. Quite interesting and did grab a few eyeballs with random strangers asking me if those were some new kind of nail stickers or stick on nails. Hehe!

Meanwhile a niece-nephew twin duo had come to stay over a couple of days. While the nephew was happy watching oggy and the cockroaches (yikes!! Yes that's what cartoons are called these days) the niece was bored so I did my usual stuff on her too. See.


Cute nails right?

And meanwhile a friend was getting married and I offered to do her nails too. 
I wanted to do a very intricate kind of design.. But after I saw her hands full of the traditional Indian henna (Mehndi) I decided to keep it bold but simple.


 Whew! Long post I know. 
See ya soon.

Glittering flowers: KBShimmer Get Clover it

Here's a polish I was completely smitten with. I had to yes... "Had to" have it. So when My friend Dhara placed a group order on Harlow that was I could ask for. KBShimmer's Get Clover It. So I could get over it.. Get it?


I left it alone for a couple of days by which I had enough people asking me if they can borrow it to apply on their nails. It dances in the light like a glittering green forest filled with jade stones and gold nuggets. No kidding!! So on the third day I had cover some of the goodness.

I stamped it using Fun IV and maybelline colorshow Bold Gold.

Here's a swatch on its own.


Do you have to "have it" now? Huh.
