Merry Christmas !

Hello everyone! Hope you all are enjoying yourself during the last week of the year!

If you have holidays during this time go out and make the most of them. For those of you who are still working, hopefully the workload is lighter than normal.

I created this simple Christmas nail art which I call The Pink Christmas!
I used Cici & Sisi Christmas stamping plate, Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro 2 nail polish, and KB Shimmer Green Hex Glam glitter polish to create the tree.
Do take good care of your health and relax whenever you find the time to.

Let me know if you have some Christmas plans in the comments below!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Dell Venue 7 and My Karva Chauth Henna & Nail Art

Yesterday was Karva Chauth, a festival celebrated by Indian women to pray for the longevity of their husband. They wake up early morning, pray to God and start a 'Nirjal' fast for the whole day - no food and most importantly no water for the whole day. They open their fast after looking at the moon through a sieve. The whole day is spent adorning hands and feet with henna, dressing up and keeping one self busy so that the thirsty dry throat becomes a non-issue.

I was supposed to do a Karva Chauth special nail art yesterday. But I was superly busy applying henna to my hands and was pretty low on energy and hence skipped doing something too intricate for my nails.

But what I did do was use my Dell Venue 7 tablet to click pictures. I know I have raved and ranted about the fact that I don't like the camera on the tablet. But since I was up early it meant I had all the sunlight I wanted to use the camera of the tablet. So I used it for clicking my henna and my final nails. I also edited the pictures on the tablet.

First let me show you my henna (if you follow me on instagram and facebook you must have already seen these)

The back of the hand has same pattern for which I shared a step by step tutorial (HERE) a couple of days back.

Scaled Gradient Nail Art

For the third challenge of September (in #STNChallenges) the theme is scaled gradient. The concept is to repeat a gradient pattern on your nails. When I read about this theme I thought, wow something nice and simple, I enjoy sponging nail art so this should be fun. Only when I got down to doing this on my tiny nails did I realize it wasn't all that easy!

Scaled Gradient Nail Art

I used Essie Mambo and Sally Hansen So Much Fawn (swatched HERE). The concept of a scaled gradient as I said, is to repeat a gradient pattern on your nails. For this you need to tape off a part of your nail and do sponging (click HERE for details on how to do sponging). Then you let this dry out, cover up the sponged area so that the rest of the nail is now available. And you repeat the sponging on this part of the nail.

Saint Patrick's Day Nail Art - The Holy Trinity Clover

Hello everyone, seems like I'm posting a nail art after a long time. Well as part of my nail art group this week I am doing two different nail arts. The first one that I share today is for Saint Patrick's Day that is on Monday, 17th of March, 2014.

I was not well versed with Saint Patrick and the history behind celebrating this day. All I knew was that it is symbolized by a clover. But I did google to get some trivia and you can go to wiki to read more about this Saint and why we celebrate a day in his memory.
