Floral Mermaid Nail Art using Born Pretty plate 110

Still cant get over this mermaid nail pigment as you can see!

I did a bit of nail art to just give it a fresh look after a couple of days. Something bold but not filling.

Base: DL glitter base in white

Coated with BPS neon unicorn mirror powder.

Topped with EZ dip water based top coat

Stamping with M-polish dancing in the streets

Stamping plate: BP 110 (#33743 link)

This plate is a small 55mm dia round plate from BPS collection. Its a neat floral design plate with designs strewn apart each other to clearly allow to see the base polish. The overall design of the plate is very nice and versatile to even allow to make decals. 

As of now this plate retails for $1.59 which is really reasonable. The etching is nice and I had no trouble in pick up. But while cleaning off the polish from the plate the polish was getting a bit stuck in the tiny corners of some designs so I had to wipe off a bit more throughly. Overall I like this plate much and definitely look forward to making some decals with his plate next.

A England Sleeping Palace: Pattern Nail Art and Swatch

I hauled some lovely polishes from A-England from the color4nails.com site during their anniversary sale. First up let me tell you that they are one of the best polishes I have used. Brilliant one coaters most of them and they look like glowing from within. They are super smooth to apply and dry in no time! Show stopper today is: Sleeping palace (link) from the Burne-Jones-Dream Collection

Base: A-England Sleeping Palace

Stamping plate: Pueen 34

Stamping polish: Bells of Ireland from M-Polish (link)

Topped with hkgirl

Also a quick word on this stamping polish. Its pearly light green and it shows up really well on darker bases. I have reviewed around 9 stamping polishes from M-polishes and they have all passed with flying colours. There's a new one called "To and to Holo" and yup..its a holo stamping polish! That is certainly going in my wishlist and I also need some really awesome neon stamping polishes. 

Another shot of my mani

And I am leaving this last so you can drool on this swatch all day!

Hav fun!

Floral Gold Nail Art

A Mani with some oriental inspiration using red and gold

Base: Maybelline Bold Gold topped with Bourjois Ghost Lovers 

Stamping Plates: Uber Chic 1-02 and 3-01

Stamping Polish: Baroque from M-polish (link: lovely metallic red)

topped with hkgirl

Dreamy metallic swirls

Mostly I use metallics for stamping but this time around I used it as a base and I really liked how smoothly this one goes.

Base: 105 tutti fruity from NewU

Stamping polish: dancing in the streets from M-polish (really nice metallic sheen)

Stamping plate: BP L-003 (purchased by me link)

Top coat SV

Here's a swatch of the base in its own:

Goes smooth and not as streaky as I thought this would be considering its a metallic base.

Most streaks settled down on their own. One coater!! Should stamp well on dark bases.

Might get a few more of these newu metallic polishes. A couple of friends had success doing watermarble with their cremes too. Definitely worth getting at Rs.75/- a bottle.

topped with hkgirl

Morrocan Nail Art

Nail Vinyls are giving me an excuse to push my schedule and do some nails. Easy to use and look so neat and nice! Here's some vinyl love:

Base: Newu Celebration (shade 140 from glitterati collection)

Vinyls are from Twinkledt: Almaz 

Accent is Metallic shade 040 from lakme on the vinyl

Stamped with Guilded from M-Polish

Stamping plate BP L-003 from bornpretty store

Topped with HKgirl

I am quite liking these stamping polishes from M-polish. They don't stink and show up well on light and dark colours. (link)

Heres a swatch of celebration from Dabur's newu. 

Base is a Blackcurrant pop from Maybelline colorshow

Topped with 3 thin coats on Celebration. Love the iridescent blue and small holo glitter in it.

Looks very pretty in sunlight..but I didnt have any :(

Purple Mosaic Nail Art using M-polish Hottie

In Shade

Base: China Glaze Plur-ple from the Electric nights collection matted using Inglot Matt tc

Stamping Polish: Hottie from M-polish (link)

Stamping Plate: B.loves Geometry is perfect

This whole mani had a very duo-chrome effect with the stamping polish looking different and merging into the base in shade. I matted out the base and I got a nice effect that gives the depth and some highlights as the stamping polish is metallic. 

As i said in my review M-polish does not stink like wall paints and are very efficient as stamping polishes. Hottie is a metallic orange shade (on the lines of copper but less red). Hottie would have shown very well on dark shades but I wanted to experiment how it shows up on non-dark shades. And its definitely versatile.
