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.

Striping Tape Nail Art With Glitter Polish

Hi friends, how is your weekend going? I'm spending a lazy weekend trying to recover from a bad sprained neck (cervical I hate you!)

Anyhow, I am sharing here a mani I tried sometime back, you must have seen a picture of this on facebook

Striping Tape Nail Art With Glitter Polish

 I had great fun doing this mani. I used silver sparkles polish from Street Wear as the base. Once the base dried out I used striping tape and place two strips very close to each other.

Haul From TMart With Free International Shipping

Sometime in December I tried out TMart.com - I was actually looking for something similar to Lonpos that you get in the US. Shipping it from amazon was turning out to be expensive so I checked out t-mart. TMart did not have the exact game but did have a cheaper similar variant available. And I also saw some striping tape - rest as they say is history - the items were added to cart and the order placed. 

The website Tmart.com has a huge (and I mean HUGE) selection of products - from toys, clothes, makeup, nail art stuff, electronics, accessories etc.

You can easily navigate the website and search for stuff that you need. 

Quality of the products is decent - the game has some extra puzzles as well. This is basically an intelligence game that is a great  help to put your mind to work in your idle time. This cost me around $6. You can check out more Brain Teasers available at the site.

Striping Tape Mani - Valentine's Day Special (Tutorial)

Here is a quick nail art you can do on Valentine's day - you can swap the colors I used with a combo of red and white or red and black. Striping tape is a thin tape that is available at nail art supply stores. I will explain the basic steps for beginners (this is my first try with striping tape!)

Striping Tape Mani - Valentine's Day Special

1. Begin by painting your nails in the color you want to show up when you remove the tape. I alternated with a teal and a brown shade as a base. Let this dry completely.
