Orange Pink Gradient Golden Nail Art

Hello my nail art buddies! Here is a quick short post on a nail art I did long back. Yes I think I did it sometime like in April and completely forgot to post here.

Orange Pink Gradient Golden Nail Art

I used a total of 4 polishes for this nail art.

The polishes I used are 

1. L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Lush Tangerine (303) - the main orange color that you see

2. L'Oreal Paris Color Riche So Chic Pink (208) - the pink dots used over the gold stamping

3. Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold - for the stamping

4. El Corazon Aquarelle Tints 06 (pink)

Peacock Nail Art Using BornPrettyStore Stamping Plate BP04

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a nail art that I did probably a month ago but never got a chance to share. I have always wanted to do nail art on the theme of peacocks and was ecstatic when I got this lovely plate from bornprettystore.com.

The plate is called BP-04 and has the patterns of peacocks and a beautiful dancing girl on it. There are small peacocks, a larger one and then one in XL size with a lovely background. The plate is etched out well and I was able to easily pick up the thinnest lines from the plate.

For this particular nail art I used 6 polishes and also tried the liquid palisade. I will review the Liquid Palisade in a separate post.

Polishes used for the base - Sally Hansen,  Health & Glow Buzz Blue, Sea Green, and Envy Golden Glow & Blue Berry. I stamped with Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold.

For the base I first sponged the blue polishes along with a hint of the glitter polish. Then I used the XL image to stamp just the background onto all my nails except the thumb and accent finger.

For the accent finger I stamped the large peacock head and its tail I stamped over the thumb. Then using a tooth pick I added dots of blue on the fingers to make the pattern stand out.

I really liked the outcome of this nail art and mixing the blues as the base for sponging made it stand out. If you  notice on the accent finger I have gently sponged a bit of golden on the side of the peacock as well.

Glitz & Glam Diwali Nail Art With El Corazon Confetti No517

STN Challenge / ILL Challenge second theme for nail art is Glam n Glitz - Diwali is all about light and sparkles so I chose  a gorgeous glittery polish from El Corazon. 

El Corazon Confetti No 517 is rusty maroon with bronze, gold and very fine silver glitter. The silver doesn't look silver on the nails but when you remove the polish you will notice that there are silver glitter in the polish. Confetti no 517 has a jelly like finish and looks so pretty in person. Trust me the pictures do not do justice to the actual beauty of this polish. Once my nails grow longer I will re-swatch this lovely polish and post on instagram. You see I still have fading henna on my hands which will also take a few weeks to go away completely.

Summer Nails - A Day At The Beach

This time for the #stnchallenges the theme for Summer Nail Art is "A Day At The Beach". I have some fond memories of times I've spent at a beach and the ones I cherish the most are the ones from Maldives. The pristine beaches, the gorgeous blue sea, and the calm all around. And so my nail art was an attempt to reminisce those times.

I used Maybelline Color Show Cool Blue on the entire nail (just did one coat) and then used sponging technique using Cool Blue and Bold Gold (Maybelline Color Show) on all the nails.

Then I used my MoYou London Stamping Plate Suki Collection 04, picked out random wave pattern type images and stamped using a local white polish mixed with a local deep blue polish. The polishes were mixed on the image itself so that the wave would get a random hint of blue when I swiped off the polish using the scraper. On the accent finger I have actually done dual stamping (two different patterns stamped over one another)

MoYou London Suki Collection 04 Review & Stamping Nail Art

As you all know I have just forged into the world of stamping and was quite happy with my MoYou London plates (details HERE). Today I am reviewing the MoYou London stamping plate from the SUKI collection. It is number 04.
 

MoYou London Suki Collection 04 - Review

This plate has large designs approximately an inch wide and 1.5cm in height. The patterns are gorgeous. For my short nails only half the pattern can fit but if you have long nails you will simply love these.

I have stamped 5 different patterns from the SUKI collection 04 plate.
