Glitter glitter everywhere!

Thats it!! I've jumped into the glitter bandwagon.
Ever since glitter polishes started appearing on blogs I've been drooling over them.
But then I also read that they were a pain to take out, which stopped me from trying them.
Also as I was packing for my rafting trip, I realised I wouldnt get time to polish my nails on the trip and I didnt wanna lug weight with me as I knew we'd have to carry our bags to the camp at the riverside.
So I had to put on a mani that wud last me atleast 5-6 days. This is my "eureka".
 Lasted me all of 6 days of which 4 days were spent rafting atleast 2-3 hours each day. 


Base: Colorbar exclusive 18
Icing:  Epic Winning
WetnWild: Party of five
 
I had won the glitters from Canadian Nail Fanatic in her giveaway last year


I have applied the Icing glitter halfway down the nail and WnW Party of Five 1/3 rd way to the tip as I attempted a possible gradient effect.
Party of Five is a good dupe for Deborah Lippmann's gorgeous Happy Birthday.

Verdict: I would strongly recommend glitters to anyone who doesnt like to change their polishes often or to those who wanna save some bag space on a trip.

Star sprinkle!

Base coat: ColorBar Exclusive 018
Stamp Plate: Konad M82
Stamping Polish: Konad special polish white
Dark Blue rim: Colorama Marinho


Loved this base colour, more like teal.
Here in India, we dont have many options in terms of choice of brands.
The common ones are: lakme, L'oreal, Colorama (introduced recently), revlon, maybelline are some of the more common ones. Others like OPI and China glaze though available at salons are quite expensive at around $10. Havent seen Zoya, nubar, sally hansen and the others in our market yet. Also konad plates and stamps are not easily available. My mom got me mine from a trip to US.
Have ordered for a set of Bundle monster new plates which should arrive soon (fingers crossed).
Until then goodbye and tc.

Comments on my blog/nail art are most welcome.
