Envy Polish - Laminate, Review, Swatch, Nail Art

Hello friends, I am back with another nail art I posted on Instagram sometime back. This one is inspired by the book Pride & Prejudice.

Envy Polish - Laminate, Review, Swatch, Nail Art

The base polish I used for this nail art is Envy Polish - Laminate (005). Laminate is a fawn colored polish with a very slight green base. It was the perfect base I was looking for to match the cover of the Pride and Prejudice book.

The polish is well pigmented and goes opaque in two coats. It does not chip or fade for 3 days (without any top coat).

Price: Rs 50 (at Health & Glow stores Mumbai)

I have already raved a lot about the Envy polishes and how much I love them for such an affordable price range.

The Great Gatsby Inspired Nail Art

MoYou London recently held a contest based on some books. One of the books that were part of the contest was The Great Gatsby. 

I searched for images on google from the book and movie by the same name and came across a picture that looked perfect. It has the start black and gold patterned backdrop with the leading lady standing in-front wearing a gorgeous pink dress.

The black backdrop was clear in my head - black polish with golden stamping would do it. For the dress I wasn't sure how to get that leafy lace effect. Finally I decided to try double stamping. I applied Sally Hansen Salon Manicure in shade So Much Fawn (reviewed HERE) and then used Maybelline Porcelain Party to stamp on leaf images from Uber Chic Beauty Collection 2-02 (used plate 2-03 for the golden stamping).
