Layering: Inglot 924 + Kleancolor Chunky Holo Scarlett

Yessss! we are almost through with this weeeeek! 
Thats the feeling I get after wednesday is over :D (or I keep thnking that till I feel that..cool na?)

Anywho! Today on my nails is Inglot's nail enamel 924.
This 924 is a true blue red. A proper red..in all sense of the name...RED.

This is 2 coats of 924..smooth creme and glossy. Dries quickly too.

Then I layered it with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Scarlett and I call this "Homemade Ruby Pumps" :D



And...
Stamped with XL F in Lakme Color Crush 01 (Gold)
This combo is quite suitable at Indian weddings too.

I love love love Kleancolor Chunky Holo Scarlet. It has duochrome small hex glitters that change from deep red to bright orange. 



I think my camera got a bit too excited and made this very bright..But I loved the pic so I didnt change brightness/contrast on this pic..left it as it is.

I usually don't layer much..but I did this time and I totally loved the effect.
Did you?

Retro Polka Dot Nail Art

Yeelllloooo! I mean Hello again

Have you ever disliked something coz you have had too much of it?
As in completely put off by it or the sudden urge to run from someplace or thing?
yes? Me too.
From Polka! As a child I had polka in and on everything. 
Yes so much so that I got sooo put off by polka design that I cant remember anything I own with Polka in the last 15 years :O
So yes this post is still a shock to me!! I got a set of QA-OB plates couple of weeks ago and it has this really pretty polka stamp on it. And I thot Y not? Lets try.

I used a light pink creme base and stamped a polka dot design on it in purple
Then between every alternate column I dotted with white.

This is what it turned out and I m pretty pleased about it.
