Blue Roses Porcelain Nail Art (Jelly polish)

I am so digging jelly polishes these days!! But they are hard to find by where I stay and I am on a mission to make some. Recently after Revlon launched some new polishes here I saw Revlon's Royal, a blue jelly polish. I suspected I had something very similar in my stash of untrieds.

OPI's Dating a royal. Its a jelly finish leaning towards creme. 2 coats make it almost opaque.

Now I suspect this is really close to Revlon Royal.

I stamped with BM 323 with the bold roses design

Stamping polish: Konad silver and konad white for accent.

The accent really looked like those white-blue chinese porcelain.

Topped with SV

Usually I am not a fan of rosey designs but this one was good. They stamped perfectly and the jelly polish does give it a floating effect, like you see a layer below the stamping.

I am off to make some jellies...please suggest me some colous that you think will look good in jelly finish.

Also on my do-to list is to make some glitter frankens. I have tried real hard not to buy like a 100 polishes off etsy, however I need some nice indies and having them shipped here takes way too long and costs waay too much. So I am gonna attempt to make some of those.

Chao!

Blue Sponging Nail Art

Hello Fellos!

Today's post is one of the firstest things I had learnt when I started to learn about nail art.

Sponging. The other day when a friend on twitter asked for suggestion for a nice mani but something that didnt take much time. I suggested this to her. I find sponging manis have a greater stare/hard work ratio than other techniques like water marbling or free hand drawing.

So that is my cheat code! Shhhh!

Here it goes:

Base colours:

Colorbar Exclusive 37 White

China Glaze: For Audrey

OPI: Dating a Royal

Stamping colour: Konad White

Stamping Plate: M51

Have you tried sponging yet?

My take on Nails @ NYFW Fall collection 2012

With all the fashion weeks happening all around, it's hard not to get drawn to them.

Below are a few pics of the Nail Trends at New York Fall 2012 Fashion week runway.

I like these half moon manis in smoky colours

But the one below is something that I just fell in love with..its simple yet soo chic!

And here is my take on it..I wanted something a bit bright as summer is almost here in India

Base: Streetwear Nude

Freehand Cuban tips with striping Brush: China Glaze: For Audrey and OPI Dating a Royal

 

I tried but couldnt stop staring at my hands after I did this.

Nude polish makes your hands look longer, your fingers seem slender and the colourful tips give it a classy edge. It is also very appropriate for work wear.

Are you gonna try this?
