Nail Art? Check!

I neeeeeed more Glitter polishes!! More More More!!

Base: Colorbar Exclusive 37 (white)

Glitter on accent: WnW Party of Five

Stamping Plate: Konad M85 from my Violetbag Haul.

I like this design from Konad..abstract and it allows to show the base too..plus non flowery.

I just think we dont need any more flowery nail plate designs..there are waaaay too much of those.

This is accent looked sooo pretty in real! It looks like the top coat smeared a bit in this macro..but I couldnt really see that in real.

Have a good start to this week!!!

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.

My Winnings from Canadian Nail Fanatic

Hi Ya!

Do you remember when you were really young and not feeling well?? How your parents or elders would try to cheer you up by getting some gifts? Thats what I felt when I received this. 

I seem to be in a bit of a lucky roll lately. This is the 2nd giveaway I have won recently...(actually I won this last Nov, but the prize just reached me this year). I was feeling a bit sick and was down with cold, cough and fever when I received this. And believe me not, I felt 10 times better in the next 5 mins :)

I won this from the lovely Canadian Nail Fanatic that was a part of her birthday giveaway.

Do check out her blog, she makes these really fab and cute manis.

Another pleasant surprise: I had won only 3 Icing polishes, but Mrsrexy generously gave me a stamping plate and a perfume sample too with a sweet note!!! Enjoy the pics!

See why Epic winning is sooo gorgeous!! Cant wait to use them!
