Simple Half Moon

For today's manicure I did a simple half moon design.

For the base I used Miley by Zoya, it's a jelly-like sheer lilac cream color. Since it's a jelly base you do need more than the usual 2-3 coats, but for this I only did 3 coats (considering the fact for a half moon you cover the bottom area of your nail). Swatch of Miley with flash:

 After your base color is fully dry apply French tip guides on upper part of your nail (end closer to your cuticle).

I applied Pamamplona Purple by OPI, a purple cream a bit on the darker side. Actually I thought I had grabbed Dim Sum Plum by OPI but after applying it I realized I had grabbed the wrong bottle :(. Anyways, once the polish is slightly dry remove the French tip guide.

The final look after applying a top coat and cleaning up the mess around me cuticle area:

Hope you liked the design. Between I learned to avoid auto-rotate on my images :D.

Pretty in Pink Nail Stamping

For today's manicure I used Cassi by Zoya, it's a really pretty coral pink shade with small shimmer in it. I've had this color for some time know but never wore it up until know, and honestly I regret not have worn it before. Also I feel bad posting these swathes because auto-rotate has messed up the swathes a bit :(. Swatch of Cassi with flash:

For stamping I used RA-104 (click here to obtain more information on red angel plates) with dark blue Konad stamping polish. Swatches of the final design:

Hope you liked my post for today :-)

Sorry but after making a tutorial for this I don't think I want to do a step by step post on this tutorial.

For the base color I used Da Bush by Essie, a creamy light green with soft grey muted color. Swatch of Da Bush :

I did this design a while back but forgot to post it.

For the base color I used Road House Blues by OPI, a creamy dark blue color. As much as I love this color that's how hard it is to capture it on camera. Swatch:

Simple Stamping

Different people use different techniques to relax when they are stressed out. I usually do my nails to lower my stress level (which usually works); was hoping for the same today so I changed my manicure after 1 day but it didn't work I still have a terrible migraine.

For today's manicure I used You Hut or Mine by essie as my base color. It's a really pretty rose pink color with hint of shimmer. Swatch of Your Hut or Mine (with flash):

 Your Hut or Mine in sunlight (in real life the shimmer is more noticeable):

I wanted to try a different polish for stamping so I used Black Hole by Kleancolor. Black Hole is a maroon nail polish with hint of shimmer in it <= I think should have tried a darker color over rose pink but to make it pop out more. Anyways I stamped using konad plate m78 and the final result:

Hope you guys enjoyed my manicure for the day. I almost forgot to mention I found a store close to my house that sells Kleancolor nail polish for only $2, so honest truth for a polish that cost only $2 it stamped pretty well.

Simple stamping with BM-206

I don't know if it's just me or not but lately I've been going for light or either girly colors (I'm the type who usually avoids girly girls like pink and red). So for the next few weeks (up until my exams start) I might be posting some simple manicures.

For today's manicure I used Dove by Zoya as my base colour. Swatch of Dove by Zoya:

I stamped using Konad's pink polish (for stamping) with bundle monster image plate BM-206 (from the second set). Final result with flash:

 Without flash:

Hope you liked the final results.

Tribal nails using Konad m85

Swatch of very structured by essi:

Before stamping using konad plate m85, I applied Be Seen in Green by Maybelline and an off-white nail polish (to lighten the brown) using a cosmetic sponge. The final product:

Arghhh I've tried resizing and re-uploading the pictures in this post more than 3 times but they keep on changing directions on me so sorry about that.
