Hello Everyone!!

 Any plans for weekend? I am planning to watch "The Girl On The Train" later with my sisters. I loved the book so I am pretty excited for the movie. Its been on my watch list ever since I knew the book will be adapted as movie. I hope its good as the novel. Have you watched it?

Continuing with ABC Challenge, this week is for "Y". To keep with a theme I decided to do Yacht Pattern. Now realizing that after a week the challenge will end I am kind of relieved but sad.

 I started off with light blue base. Then I fan brushed darker shade of blue and white. Then I hand painted Yacht pattern. So what do you think? Let me know on the comment below. I will see you next Friday.

Hello Everyone!!! How is your weekend going so far?

Me and my sisters went to watch Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them yesterday and the movie was so good. I absolutely loved it :D

I am so late for this post but I didn't had internet connection since Friday. Anyway last Friday theme was X for which I decided to go with X-Mas. I am seriously running outta ideas. I am kind of glad the challenge is going to be over in coming two weeks.

For this manicure I created a gradient base with Sheer Shiny white and blue polish. Once I was satisfied with it. I simply stamped some Christmas design. So what do you think? Let me know on the comment below. I will see you next Friday.

The difficult that I was having of not being able to leave comment  on your blog was simply because of the browser. As soon as I switched to Chrome  it worked.  May be the Firefox became outdated.

I cant believe we are almost at the end of this ABC Challenge, only 5 prompt left. Today is the day for "U".   So to keep up with the theme I made U for Unicorn.

As usual I started off with white base coat. Then I did gradient with light colors and hand painted Unicorn and rainbows with acrylic paint. So what do you think? Let me know on the comment below. I will see you next Friday.

Continuing with ABC Challenge, today is the day for "S". Like I said in my last post, its festival season here so I had to make this manicure in last minute. Now those who know me I am sucker for Skulls. So to keep up with the theme I made S for Skulls which just so happen to be cool for Halloween too *wink*

I don't know how I feel about this manicure. In real it look so good. All the colorful skull looked were clear and defined but in images it just look overloaded with oranges and dripping skull? Good thing I made this nail art  for Halloween too. I used BP- X13 Stamping plate for the skulls. So what do you think let me know on the comment below. I will see you next Friday.

From  today onward ( every Friday) we will continue with the ABC Challenge that went on halt for 31DC Challenge. You can see my previous post for ABC Challenge here.We stopped at Letter Q so today is the day for Letter R. For this theme I decided to match a prompt that will be even suitable for the month of October. As we all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. So I decided to R is for Ribbon (Pink). A month long festival started here so I wont be able to paint nails frequently that's why I am gonna mix and match the theme of October and this challenge together. 

As usual I started with White base. Than I dabbed three different pink polish on white base with crumbled plastic. Once I was satisfied with the light gradient/smooch background I hand painted the rest of the design.

One thing I always struggle while making freehand manicure is the background. I find it easier working in white base but sometimes the manicure looks bland. Any tips and tricks to create subtle background beside gradient?

I hope you like today's manicure. Let me know on the comment below. I will see you next week.

Hello Everyone!!!

Its Friday which means time for ABC Challenge. Its been Seventeen week of fun so far. Today the Challenge  is for Letter Q. Since 31DC starts from September for a whole month we will be skipping ABC Challenge  so that the other lovely ladies can participate on 31DC without much stress. So I will be posting on October 7th with Letter R. I wont be taking part in 31DC. I am still refraining from painting my nails and my little sister's (kiddo) class will start soon and she will get busy too. But I will still try to post twice a week.

Back to today's post, The letter Q itself sounds like challenge. I just know few words from Q. I wanted to do a quilted accent mani. But it didn't turn out well. Either the polish was too wet to create the dent effect or was too dry. So after much trying I decided to create Quill instead.

I made the design on rest of the nails planning quilted manicure but as it didn't work out, I still thought it looks good with quill.So I kept them that way. As usual the design are hand painted from acrylic paint. I hope you like today's manicure. Let me know on the comment below. I will see you next week.

Continuing with Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review, today I will show you a plate filled with very beautiful peacock  pattern. There is something written in Japanese language instead where the BP sign used to be. I was bit curious so I translated it and found out it meant Song Of Spring. That's pretty cool name for the plate. The plate is listed under ID No 29541 and is available for just for $1.99

The stamping plate came with the standard blue protective film which must be removed prior to use.It had its own cardboard sleeves for storage. Its 5.5cm in diameter. The plate is mostly filled with Peacock pattern and a beautiful rose flower below it. I loved this plate at first sight. 

The stamping plate is engraved deeply enough to get perfect patterns and transfer them on nails. The patterns are well carved  and with the wider patterns stamping is very easy, but with the thinner lines you may have to be a little bit careful, especially if you are a beginner as I.  I did have  little problem working with it at first but once I got hold of it, they are manageable.

If you want to try these beautiful peacock stamping plate or any other nail products you can buy them from Born Pretty Store  and you can  use my discount code ASXW10 to get 10% off your entire order. 

You can find them on all of the usual social media outlets too, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Hello Everyone!!! 

Time to post for new theme of ABC Challenge. This week its "O" which means we need to make anything started with the letter O. At first I wanted to have either Owl or Octopus design but the same day my (big) sister brought Harry Potter And The Cursed Child Book (YAY!!!!) Then I suddenly had the burning desire to make a manicure with Harry Potter theme. Thankfully the cover of the book has Orange background. So to keep up with the theme I present you O is for Orange Background. (Who am I kidding? its Harry Potter And Cursed Child nail art, Inspired by book. I didn't wanted to miss the ABC Post so  I am forcefully making everyone believe it's Orange gradient nail art. ).

As usual I stated with white base. Once it dried I started to build the gradient to match the book cover which is a mixture of white, light yellow and mostly of  "Orange". Once I was satisfied with the gradient I created a nest with a wing similar to cover of the book. (I don't know if it has any significant meaning because I just reached page 112 of the book and its very interesting keeping the fact that its just a script for  play.) Then I wrote Harry Potter And The Cursed Child on index and middle finger. As usual everything is hand painted from acrylic paint, even the gradient.

So what do you think?? Do you like my Orange Themed Harry Potter And The Cursed Child inspired nail art? Are you going to read the book? Or you already did? Have you watched the play?
