Hello Eveyone!!!
Like I talk about the 31DC2013 Yesterday I decided to participate. It sounds FUN and another excuse to paint my nails tee hee ;) I actually came to know about this challenge from A Facebook Group that I am member of. Then I knew ChalkboardNail is organizing this challenge (I think). Well I feel the thrill already. Painting nails everyday seems challenging enough for me. Let see if I will be able to participate in all of the challenges or I might skip one or two.
Below is the list of the Challenge. I already have some idea popping in. 

I never participate in any Nail Challenge before. So I am looking forward for this one. 31DC2013 will start from September 1st.  There are no rules. You can participate or you can skip or space it out. You can post it on any social network (Blog,Twitter,Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr ...) but make sure to use a hash tag (#31DC2013) so we can look at each other challenges. Wish you all  luck and tons and tons of FUN. Let get crazy!!!

Hello Everyone!!!
I actually made this Mani for a challenge that is being hosted by Colleen - DreamItUpNails .When asked she said I can reuse my design for the challenge. I made this last week. I was planning to Post it on Challenge Day. But I have some other plan. I am still in process of thinking whether I should participate in "THE 31 DAY CHALLENGE" that going to be held from 1st of September. I will announce it by tomorrow. So about today Mani its very simple.Let me show you!
Simple right? I used Charm Limit White 06 and Black 07 with Mode Love Top coat. I had fun painting it. I did this Mani is 5 minutes. I don't know if I did very less design or used less technique anyhow I am proud of it.
I painted my ring finger with white. I didnt wait for it to dry so you can see some mess. Then with my trustee toothpick I made the Peace Sign. For rest of the finger I made fish tail french Mani from black and white. So that it for today. I hope you like today post let me know on the comment below. And do suggest me if I should participate in 31Day Challenge or are you going to?!? 
See Ya!!!

Hello Everyone!!! Good Morning (:
Time for throwback nail art again. Today I have choose a simple Mani from my hidden treasure to share with you all. And I realized that I cant to do many throwbacks because it getting empty [*Sad face*] .Well anyway that means I have to come with new manicures and I can paint my nails more often :D French Manicure - its one of the basic nail art form. It simple chic and gives you glam in minute. But I have  add a very simple twist to make it more fun. 
Do you like it?!? I just add some horizontal lines/stripes halfway through to my french Mani. I dont like wearing plain polish. Doing swatches are the only time when you see me wearing plain polishes. So a twist to french Mani was must. 
 I don't remember which nail polish I used. I made this Mani a long ago. Its must be Sonata pink ( beacuse that the only pink color I owe.Not a fan of pink polishes you see!) Camieo Green , that blue must be from the Sonata again (I used to owe the striper of Sonata blue back then) VOV White (I Think ) umm I dont member the orange -.-"
Dont get confused it with zebra stripes [beacuse its not :P ] I was learning to use striper so my lines aren't straight and I even used toothpick to create some of the lines. I wanted to add some colors to my french Mani and this was  perfect idea. I loved how it turned out. Its very easy to create, don't take much time and a great escape from regular french manicures. I hope you like today post. Let me know on the comment below (: I will see you soon. 
Until then...

Hello Everyone!!! Hope you weekend going well (: 
Michael Jackson -  This name need no introduction. He is a legend and always will remains as King Of Pop. His music inspire and entertain us. Its heartbreaking that we lost a great musician. Though MJ is not with us but he will always live in our thought and prayers. As coming Thursday 27th August is MJ birthday I thought of  giving a tribute to him through my art. I absolutely feel honored doing so. Today Mani is inspired from King of Pop and dedicated to all of his fans!
What do you think? I know its no near perfection but I am quite pleased with the Final product. It turn out exactly how I imagined off. I was planning about this Mani for long. I wanted to tribute him on the day he died but unfortunately  miss the opportunity. So this time I am a step ahead and post it quite early.

 I used Bloom Red,Charm Limit Black 07 and White 06 and Mode Love Top Coat. I gradient my nails with red and black then started to add the design. I wrote MJ and made a crown above it on my index finger, for  middle finger I simply wrote the years when He was born and passed away and lastly on my ring finger I choose to showcase his famous "moonwalk" step (its doesnt look like though -.-")

 I love working with shadow design because I dont have to make small details but at other hand it is expressive enough to visualize the design. I did lots of paper work for it. I collected some shadow image of MJ then I draw it on paper until I was satisfied. It get quite easily to paint on your nails then. There you know my little secret ;)
I hope you like today Mani and it somehow inspired you. Let me know on the comment below and do share your favorite MJ song with me (:
See Ya...

Hello Everyone!!!
Every time I came online the first thing I do is to check my blog and mail. So as set of habit I did the same thing this morning. One mail took all my attention. It was from Colleen from DreamItUpNails . The mail says  I have been nominated for the Blog Your Heart Out Award.  My Reaction was WHAT?!? o.O 
Thanks Colleen for nominating me. A BIG THANK YOU Indeed! I feel happy and kind of proud. It feels  good  to get appreciated for your work right?!?
Blog Your Heart Out Award is basically designed to showcase amazing blogs that people might not know about yet. It a encouragement for newbie bloggers and help them gain more followers. The way this award works is you are given 5 questions to answer, and then you have to nominate 5 other blogs you follow that have less then 100 followers.

Below are my Question and Nominees  (:

1. What/who encouraged you to start blogging?
This is gonna be long. So get ready to go bored!! :P As you might know,  nailart passion started in me some 5 years back. I use to paint my nails and snap a picture. But I never used to share it. It must be 3 years back that my big sister ask me to open a blog or free website to share my nail art. But as I have tendency to pick up habit easily and  loosing interest on them more quickly, so the idea just stay as thought. But after while I started  to share my nails picture in Facebook and Twitter and I get quite nice response. Then the idea became reality. I decided to open  a blog which happened somewhere in march last year. As you can see I haven't post much last year. I was still studying and like I said blogging habit started to slowly fade away. I used to paint my nails like crazy but blogging didn't came in mind. But I have few awesome people in my life who keep encouraging me to blog and share my passion. And here I am today with the nail art blog which is very close to my heart.

2. How did you chose what topic(s) to blog about?
I always knew if  I ever open  blog or site it has to be of Nails. No doubt on that. Nail art was, is and will be my passion.

3. What is something that most people don't know about you?
Although I am crazy about Nailart. I don't owe  any nail art tools/ kit. I just have one stripers or brush you may say. Every design you see in this site are made from my trustee tooth pick.

4. What three words describe your style?
 Three words, Hmm let me say it as - my style can go from Emo To Chic.

5. What do you like to do when you are not blogging?
I read novels, mess with Photoshop (I am kind of Photoshop freak) , tweeting ( I spend crazy hours on twitter) and have fun and stay happy (:

GelicNailArt
Nailallure
TheSequinedNail
Perfectly-Painted
HeyDarlingPolish

Congrats Ladies (:
That it for today. I will see you soon.
Until then...

Hello Everyone!!! Happy Thursday
Although I decided to post only throwback nail art but I just couldn't stop painting my nails. I gave a try on floral print. I am not good with it. I found it complicated to give small details. I have tried so many times before. But somehow the final product looked horrible. But this time it went well, at least presentable. So here I go!!!
It looks like blue roses right?!? I thought so. I am not proud of this mani but better to have something to post than nothing. I used MAX White, Camieo Purple, Elegance Blue, Camieo Green and Colors Metallic Polish.
 
Start off with painting white base. Then make a random circle from purple, it doesn't have to be perfect. Let it dry then make small semi circle or write "C" inside the purple circle. Make more semi circles from metallic polish to give more depth.I added small leaves around roses. Although this post is not satisfactory but I hope you like it. Let me know on the comment below. See you soon
Until then...

Hello Everyone!!! Happy Tuesday
I am still little sick. Seems like swelling in eyes hast reduced yet.I wake up with red eyes almost every morning now a days. Its kind of making me difficult to paint my nails. But as I am trying to take blogging seriously I decided  to post as regular as I could. As its been long since I haven't done throwback I thought this is the perfect time. I don't need to paint my nails but I still could keep posting :D Today I have a very simple but uber cool nail art to share with.

 
Simple yet stunning right?!? I used VOV yellow 49 as my base color, MAX Black And White. I love the final product. Its eye catching and chic!! All you need for this Mani is few colors of your choice and a toothpick/ bobby pins/dotting tools.
You don't need much of technique for this Mani. First apply base color and create dots over dots.You can make big dots and overlap small dots over it.This Mani is suitable for beginners. Personally this always have been one my favorite way to paint my nails. Its less time consuming, easy and add a glam in your nails in few minutes. I hope you like today Post. Let me on the comment below. 
See Ya!!

Hello Everyone!!! Hope your weekend is going awesome as you all are (:
Argyle print are very cool and fun way to manicure your nails with. You can find this print on socks, sweater but this print reminds me of the skirt that I used to wear to school (School uniform). This is a very colorful mani that you can get it in few steps. Although Argyle Print looks easy to make, it can be quite tricky. You need really steady hand to work with stripers or brush.

 What do you think?? I love the final product though my lines went quite thick on some finger but however  the color combination covers up all the mess. Its bright and so full of alive color. I used Charm Limit White 06, Cairuo #16 Blueberry,Caiuro #15 Orange, Charm Limit Black 07 and Mode Love Top Coat.

 I started off with white base, after 15 minutes of wait I drew triangle from Blueberry and Orange then with black stripes drew lines to give argyle print look. I made triangle directly from the brush of nail polish bottle. You can eihter use stripers or scotch tape to create a straight lines. I hope you like this Mani. Anyone want a tutorial?!? then let me know on the comment below. 
See Ya!!

Hello Everyone!!!
Happy Thursday to you all. I was just trying my hands on floral print but I couldn't make it. Didn't liked the finished product so I decided to share one of  the Mani which I made while I was still in bed rest. I couldn't help but paint my nails even when I was blind. Obsession you see! I always wanted to paint my nails on Diamond print for long. I find it quite easy to make them on my nails. Just some straight lines going here and there that it.
 I used Cairuo CR #20 Green Tea, Glamor Black and True Lover Top Coat. I am pretty satisfied with the mani considering the fact I didn't had my specs back then and drawing those that straight lines was almost miracle for me :P
I painted Green Tea on my pinky,middle finger and thumb and rest with black.After waiting like 30 minutes I dip my trustee toothpick on black polish and started to draw diamonds. You can fill the diamond with different color for more fun. So I guess that it for today. I hope you like today post. Let me know on the comment below!!
See Ya!!!

Hello Everyone!!!
Its been long that I haven't posted. Awh poor my blog must be lonely. My health went down suddenly and I was send to bed rest then and now. I had problems with my eyes too. Something inside it swelled ( I don't understand doctory words -.-") and I got new specs. Anyway feels great to get back on blogging.
I have very quick post and quite simple as well as easy design today. A base color and white stripes falling down.
I made this mani while I was still having problem with my eyes. I didnt have my specs and it was tedious to keep staring and to focus on. I tried to make the stripes as thin as possible for me. I know it not straight and thick but I am quite happy with it as I am *blind* when I don't have specs.

 I used Colors Metallic Polish and Charm Limit White 06 and Mode Love 06 Top Coat. I applied the metallic polish first let it dry complete and with white striper I stripe the while colors down. I am still in process of healing - once I gain my health back lots of Mani are on your way. I hope you like this Mani let me know in the comment below
See Ya...

Hello Everyone !!!
My kiddo (lil sister)had been asking to make me the mani that somehow relates to school.So back to school theme was perfect for it.
I've been waiting  so long for her holidays to begin so that i could make the design on her own nails.She recently finished her exam and the first thing that I did was painted her nail with back to school with all the enthusiasm I could muster up.


I haven't tried to make this mani perfect since its more like rough writing in a paper when your bored.Anyway,I used Charm Limit White 06 as my base colour,Elegance for blue stripes,Bloom red,Charm Limit 07 black,Max glittery yellow and Camieo green

I painted her nails with white base and after a moment of wait drew horizontal lines with blue striper  and verticle lines at the left side with red striper  to give it a paper design.Then I randomly filled my paper design with sun ,grasses,pencils,question marks and letters.Now the fun part is, I wrote "EMINEM"on her thumb just because my kiddo likes him and she does actually write Eminem in her notebooks, eraser and anywhere she finds blank space.
So this was Back to school nail art!You can randomly write anything you want in the paper design.You can make pencils ,blackboard and others for more fun.
What do you think of this design?? let me know in the comment below.
See ya!!

Hello Everyone!!! Happy Friendship Day to You all. ((:
Today is International Friendship Day- day when you cherish the moments and memories with your friend.  As its kind of special day I thought of making a special Mani  perfect for celebrating it. So I have very cute and colorful nail art to share with. I wanted my Mani to reflect the bond of friendship. I Googled pics related to friendship day and got inspired to transform them into my nails. I hope you like them (:

What do you think?!? I am totally satisfied with this Mani. Its fun and did reflect the friendship theme. I have used Cairuo #08 Orange, Cairuo #20 Green Tea, Cairuo #15 Orange, Cairuo  #16 Blueberry for the gradient, Charm limit White 06, Black 07, Bloom Red and  Mode Love 06 Top Coat.

 

I wanted colorful base for this mani for which gradient was perfect technique. When you have good friend in life- it automatically becomes colorful and fun isnt it?!? I applied white base, waited 5 minutes then gradient with sponge and quickly appliedquick top coat and let it dry completely. Then with my trustee toothpick dip in respective colors I start off painting the design. I already had idea on my mind so it didn't took me much time to create this.It Just went with flow.

Starting off with Thumb I wrote "Friend Forever" and added two little love, Two big heart shape in index finger, bunch of cool friends in middle ( its a  shadow image of group of  cute little people I Googled. Let say that me and my bestie), in ring finger I wrote "BFF" inside heart and finally on pinky I wrote "Hugs with lots of xoxo's".
Let me know what do you think about this Mani in comment below and let your friends know you treasure them.Virtual hugs to everyone. Happy freindship day once again. Have a nice day!
See Ya!!

Hello Everyone!!! Happy Friday!!
I love doing movie nail art. Its fun to paint nails with certain character. Its like drawing for me. When I was kid I used on draw in paper now on my nails ;) Today I have smurfs to fill your nails with their craziness act. I love the first movie and I am eager to see the sequel "The Smurfs 2". I was thinking of giving a try to acrylic paint for this design. I thought brush will give me more control to add small details. I sat with the mission of using a acrylic paint but it turn into disaster. Then I pick my Trustee toothpick and *Tadda* it worked.

I think I should stick with my trustee toothpick. It is easy for me to work with it. I made the shapes of smurfs from toothpick then outline them with black striper. I know it no near perfection but it looks cute and adorable enough.
I used Cairuo CR #16 Blueberry as my base color, Elegance Blue, Charm limit White 06, Black 07 and Mode Love 06 Top Coat.
Starting off with thumb I tried to copy the "hands showing two fingers" like in the Movie poster, made "Lousy" in index finger, simply wrote "the smurfs" in the middle,"Smurfette" in ring finer and finally on pinky finger I wrote "2" and randomly dotted it. It went little mess I wasn't patience and add the top coat before it dried. I loved the final design. It looks fun and alive. I am so ready to watch the smurfs now. What do you think?  Are you ready?!? Will you paint your nails with this theme?!? Let me know in the comment below.
And do share you recreation with me on twitter and facebook with the Tag #HGNailDesign.
Until then ....
