The Battle Nail Polish Challenge Day 1

Hello,

I am so excited to be a part of The Battle Nail Polish Challenge as it has been a really long time since I last participated in a nail challenge. This is my first post for the this Challenge. The theme for today's nails was to create a green and blue manicure. I really like how this manicure turned out. I hope you guys like it too. 

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Song. Then applied Best Glue Ever on all the nails, which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied 1 mm neon green glitters on the tips of all the fingers except the ring finger on which I drew the spiral design using the same glitters.

Bling It On

Hello,

I have a big surprise coming for you guys. I do not want to disclose it right now but I will post about this surprise on my Facebook page within a couple of weeks. I got a request for doing nails using rhinestones over nude polish. This is a very easy design and if you do not have glue you can use topcoat to adhere the rhinestones and glitters. Also, it looks much more color coordinated in person as the gold square glitters reflect a lot and do not show their true color in pictures.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Minka. Then applied Best Glue Ever on all the nails, which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied 2 mm gold square rhinestones on the accent nail and on other fingers I applied 1.5 mm gold square glitter.

Secret Ingredient

Hello,

How is everyone doing? I have heard a lot of people using eyeshadows or micas in their nail art or frankens. This is my first time using an eyeshadow for any nail art so I wanted to keep the use of eyeshadow to the minimal. I really like how this mani turned out. The eyeshadow looks so smooth, it seems like I have applied golden nail polish. I hope you guys give it a try too as the process is very easy.

For this, I applied one coat of Zoya Sabrina. On the tips, I applied Best Glue Ever which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied the L.A. Colors bronze eyeshadow with the help of the fan brush. I light rubbed the eyeshadow on the glue to get the smooth finish. Then, I applied fimo flower on my accent nail and drew some leaves using Holly Green acrylic paint. 

Fierce Red Tips

Hello,

Today I have another nail foil mani. I like how the foils can transform your simple mani into something so gorgeous. I love the tips so much in this mani that I might do more looks like this in the future. Click here if you want to check my last post on nail foils.

For this, I applied one coat of Zoya Bela. After it dried, I made a french tip using Essie Fishnet Stocking. Then using a Konad image plate M25 and RA 118 (picture of the plates at bottom) I stamped the roses using Sally Hansen Insta Dri Rapid Red and drew some leaves using Holly Green acrylic paint. On the tips, I applied Best Glue Ever which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied the metallic red nail foil. Then using a Q-tip I rubbed over the foil so that it attaches itself properly. After that I applied Wet N Wild top coat because for some reason fast drying top coat does not work well with the foils, at least not for me. In the end I applied Seche Vite top coat on all the fingers.

Blue Roses!

Hello,

It has been a couple of days since I posted because mid-terms are approaching and I was busy with one of the projects. But a girl can stay away from her polish only so much. I used nail foil for the first time and I really like how it turned out. I might be doing more nail foil posts in the future.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Robyn. On the accent finger I applied Best Glue Ever which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied the Pink and Blue Roses nail foil. Then used a Q-tip to rub over the foil so that it attaches itself properly. After that I applied Wet N Wild top coat on accent finger because for some reason fast drying top coat does not work well with the foils, at least not for me. In the end I applied Seche Vite top coat on all the fingers including the ring finger.
