Hello Everyone!!! Happy December. Holidays season ... YAY \O/

Christmas around the corner so yeah I will be posting random Christmas nail art all month. My First Christmas Nail Art of 2013 - Let me start with Christmas tree. Recently I saw Needle Dragging Christmas Tree on Gelic Blog's. And I was awe-struck by the idea. I wanted to come up with something similar but my needle dragging was BIG FAIL. So I ended up with Abstract Tree instead. Here is what I am talking about.

This is my abstract tree. I make lots of abstract stuff on Photoshop. So thought why not try it on my nails. And here is what I came up with.. It was little difficult make swirls through Striper but I think it did went well. I used toothpick for dots. I am not satisfied with stars but then again its abstract stars :P

Colors used are Cairuo CR#20 Green Tea,Cosmetic Color Pink 7 [I dont owe much red polishes] and some "nameless" Glitter Green.

I made some changes for my blog Layout especial for Christmas :D I hope you like today Mani. Let me know on the comment below (:

Hello Everyone. Happy weekend!!!

Today Mani was inspired by book. Lately I have been reading lots of novels. I kinda got habit of reading books before I go for sleep. So yeah in last two months I almost read half a dozen book. And one of them is THE GIRL WITH DRAGON TATTOO by Stieg Larsson. Famously also called the Millennium series. The one character that hooked me up with this book has to be Lisbeth Salander . She is a world class computer hacker. What inspired me to do this Mani is Salander has nine tattoo and one of them is Dragon. As I am so into this character - Lisbeth Salander is hands down the most intriguing and complex character I have ever read. So I decided to make a dragon on my nails just to kinda dedicate it to book. Let me show you the pic!!

But making dragon freehanded-ly is complex. I have been trying to make this Mani for last two weeks but I didn't have satisfied result. I wanted to make the same dragon that Salander has but it was almost impossible for me. So I searched a little less complex dragon and I found Exactly one.

This dragon is no near with the tattoo on book but I am so satisfied with it. I just wanted a dragon my nails somehow. Ever since I read the book I knew I had to paint a dragon or I will go crazy haha.

Colors used are A coral orange from Bloom and Charm Limit Black. I used toothpick and striper as usual. I am happy with the Final result. This Mani is something I was dying to do and I am so glad I did it finally. Now I can go back to my Sanity :D I hope you like it. Let me know on the comment below!

Hello Everyone!!!

I been kind of MIA at the moment lately. Sometimes life just gets over me, you know *Sigh*. But I am trying hard to response your lovely comments [Thank you for that] and check out yours blog.

Today I have nail art with purpose. As you might know November is ANTI-BULLYING MONTH!!!! And the color PURPLE represents it. I knew about going purple on November but I havent given much thought about any specific nail art for it. But recently when I visit Marianne blog [NailpolishSleuth] I just knew I had to paint my nails with purple for this purpose. Marianne has done an awesome job with anti bullying week nails. And I was so inspired by her and decided to raise my voice against bullying through my design. You can see her design here.

I wanted something authentic design to make clear about my purpose behind this nail art. So as always I turn to Dear Google and search "Anti Bullying logo". And BAM!!!! I got exactly what I Wanted. Let me show you the pic!

Colors used are Camieo Purple, MAX Black, Charm limit White and Bloom Bloody Red.

Whatcha think?!? I actually mix little white on purple for my ring finger to lighten the purple else the design wont have visible clearly. Although the purple look light but It dark enough to over shadow black and red. I hope you like it. Let me know on the comment below!!!

Bullying is not funny. It is not cool. It is not right. And more importantly, it is not okay. Life is HARD Already. DONT MAKE IT MORE HARDER FOR OTHERS!!!!
If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all? It isn’t big to make make others feel small.Some bruises are on the inside. STOP BULLYING!!!! HELP,DON'T HURT!!!

If you or someone you know is experiencing bullying and needs help, here are some resources...

Hello Everyone!!! Happy Weekend :D

Today I have my very first Mustache nailart to share with. As November is famously painted with Mustaches. I couldn't resit either. However as I already painted my nails last year with all the mustache design I ever dream of. I was kind of out of idea.So as always I turn to my dear friend Google and search for some inspiration and it showed me tons of images. Most of images were similar to what I already made But Google never disappoint right? So yeah One pic Caught my attention. Let me show you my version of the pic.

Charlie Chaplin Mustache. Freakin Awesome right?!? I was like mind blown when I first saw the pic. Sadly there was no water mark. I was awestruck with the idea and I know I had to give it a try.

First I thought It wont be humanly possible for me to re-create it. It looks simple but it bloody hard to portrait Mr.Chaplin on your nails. I thought of giving my best And I am proud of Final result.Everything is made from my trutsee toothpick. I am satisfied with the shape of face and mustache. I mean it does gave a feel of Charlie Chaplin. The only part I don't like is the bow. I should had put a little more effort. But at the end this couldnt have been better. I loved this mani I hope you like it too. Let me know on the comment below (:

Hello Everyone!! How is your week going?

Been on tight schedule for last three days. I seriously need a energy drink. I am out of it. I am glad festival is over so are my days of being "Social". Its been fun time but I prefer when people leave me alone in peace *Anti Social* ahem!

Talking about today post I have a very cool french mani to show today. Yeah I am still tired and not in mood of doing anything literally but then I remembered my close to heart blog so I painted something quick and easy. Let me show you the pic.

Colors used are Bloom A coral orange and A fluoro green , Cairuo Yellow and Charm Limit Black

Whatcha think? I love the color combo. Its easy and takes few minutes to make. I used the nail polish brushes itself to make the stripes and a black striper to outline. I think this is a very fun way to paint your nails and a cool technique to add glam in less time. I hope you like today's mani. Let me know on the comment below.

Hello Everyone!!! Happy November.

I am exhausted right now. I had amazing shopping day for festival twice back to back. So this will be very quick post. My bed is calling me :') I realized I haven't done fall nails. I decided to make one before falls get over and winter arrive. Let me show you the pic.

Colors Used are Cairuo CR #08 Orange and Charm Limit Black

I am absolutely pleased with the Mani. I used stripers as well as toothpick. I had a very clear idea on my mind. I wanted some leaves and birds. But as it was difficult job to make birds with toothpick I just made one on my accent nails. I am happy with mani. I hope you like it. let me know on the comment below (:

I have very tight schedule for coming three days. I will see you soon. (:
Btw I changed my outlook again as October is over. Whatcha think? (:

Until Then...
