Cupcake Apple-y Ever After

Been hunting for a red linear holo polish for a looong looong time (in peppa pig's accent; thats what you get when kiddo is hooked to peppa all day). Anyways I got a couple of red holos by now. You see I tend to go overboard with one lemming incase I dont find it again. Next on my list is a linear holo orange.

Base: Cupcake Polish Apple-y ever after

Stamping Plate: ZZ Abstractos 2 (from MDU)

Stamping Polish: MDU white

I need to add that though I did buy a bunch of plates from MDU I am not happy with the quality at all. They dont transfer well and when you rub off polish in between stamping the cotton seems to get stuck in tiny corners of the design. This is based on using a couple of plates now. so read a few reviews before you buy some (or more if you are trying to economise shipping costs like me)

Here's a swatch of CC Apple-y Ever After on it own. Gorgeous isnt it?

Negative space Nail Art using Zoya NYX

Very edgy and cute no?

Base: Zoya Nyx and Chambor White
Stamping plate: Moyou Minimal 10, Holy Shapes 14, Frenchy 11
Stamping Polish: MDU white and Street wear Golden mirror

Metallic nails with Milv

Rarely do I take the pains to edit more than one pic of a mani these days. I am just trying to cut down a bit of the boring work which in turn puts me off completely from making any post at all. But this one I couldn't resist! This milv decal is just gorgeous! Now I wish I had selected more of metallic decals from them. 

Base: Knocked Up nails Fierce, Fabulous Female

Accent: Milv decal F-79 (in silver)

They are an absolute breeze to use. Super Easy. 

Just dip in water, peel of the back, place them and file them form the free edge.

I thought they would wrinkle up or shrink once I apply top coat, but to my surprise they did not at all.

They are also an easy peasy way to spruce up your mani in a jiffy. It took me literally 5 mins to put the decals on 3 nails. The best part is that a clean up brush dipped in acetone just cuts right through these decals and melts them away very neatly. So no jagged edges or corners popping up at all.

Its quite simple almost like putting a sticker but the end result is much more pretty.

They are reasonable for around $2. I could get one use from one sheet for both hands.

Bright Abstract

Base: Orly Vintage, Maybelline blackout, unbranded local gold shimmer polish

Stamping plate: Holy shapes 04

stamping with mdu black and white

Abstract Aztec Nail Art using Inglot Flakies

Another Day another mani.

This one is something I really liked. 

Base is a dusty aqua blue polish from Rock Topia given to me by the awesome Good lack Nail. 

Topped with an Inglot Flakie that was topped with a matt tc

Stamped with A 53 plate using konad blue. 

I just love the effect of matt tc on flakies. Don't you?

Abstract texture

Hi 

I finally managed to use something that I had bought last year.

This is my first texture paint that I bought from a friends blog sale. Must say I have fallen for the trend!!! And how!! Now I need more. So who is up for a trip from US to India ?? :D

The base is chg Toe-tally textured.

Two coats. Dries fast but need to let the first coat dry. 

Stamped with Fun 2 from Fab Ur Nails using opi funky dunkey

Added a little color to accent using acrylics. 

I was quite skeptical how stamping would look over textures but it's quite cool. How did u like this mani??

Hope u r having a good year so far. Mine is going well. So far. Some near dear friends had come to town after ages and the whole lot of us got together on quite a few occasions and had a thoroughly good time. They've just left back for US and are being missed already.

My friend was nice enough to carry my new BM cyo plates for me. Yay! 

See ya soon!
