Spring time! Flower overload!

Hi Ya!! I m back from my rafting trip and I had a super-rocking-time!! 
(will spam you a few pics later with the mani I wore for my trip). 

Well coming back to this post. I am not a flowery person..as in I dislike flowers in designs. I like flowers, but not things that have flowery designs...know what I mean?
No flowers on clothes, shoes, jewelry. Somehow as a part of my wardrobe revamp I've decided to add stuff I usually do not wear. Got a few flowery tops and dresses. And yes a flowery mani was due.
Surprisingly I like it :D 
So much so that I have a few more coming in the spirit of spring (or a full blast summer in Mumbai!!)

Base: Colorbar Exclusive 37 (White)
Stamping colour: Lakme Metallic 241 (bronze)
Stamping plate: BM 211



For those in search of stampy polishes..Lakme's (Indian Brand) metallic polishes surprisingly stamp well.

Inglot Nail Enamel #955 + water decals

Hiiiieee,

Inglot has become one of my new favourite brands for cosmetics, you'd know if you've seen my latest Inglot Haul post.
Although I find their NPs a bit high priced at Rs. 490/- ($10).
Inglot says their are "Durable, matte, medium drying time formula DOES NOT CONTAIN:- toluene- formaldehyde- dibutyl phthalate (DBP)- camphor Apply two coatsMake sure that first coat is completely dry before applying second one. Some shades look best with three coats. NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS 15ML/0.51 US FL OZ "
I am happy about all that, but its still highly priced. Ok! Enough ranting.

This shade 955, is a sweet periwinkle blue with creme finish.
I could just stand at Inglot NPs counter all day andjust keep swatching :)
I just looove thier colourful displays!!
At 2 coats I did find it a bit streaky and slightly patchy (see patch on ring finger top left corner).
Also I found the brush to be very small. It takes 3 strokes to cover my nails. But the variety of shades makes up for it :D





I used water decals for this mani as I was at moms place for the weekend and did not have all my nail art tools.


I really like how convenient decals are when you dont have too much time to do an elaborate mani. 
Decals still grab attention and are super easy to use.
