Fall Nail Art : Orange Plaid Nail Art

Hello! I am trying to be back to posting after a long break. Moved houses and kiddo appeared for 1st school exams, lots of work, tons of house warming parties and what not in between. So yeah been busy.

Starting with a fall mani today. Love these fall combos even though we dont get any fall season as such in Mumbai. The rains are thankfully over and the heat is already unbearable.

Base: Different Dimension Boo Felicia

Stamping plate: Nicole Diary L-04

Random stamping polishes

This very versatile plate (Nicole Diary L-04 #46229; link)  is from Nicole Diary brand from the Bornpretty website. This plate covers a lot of basic lines, patterns and chevrons for a very creative mani. I was looking since quite some time for a plate to make plaid designs using my own patterns and this plate helps me do just that. Most other plates already have a plaid pattern and you cannot make the plaid using different colours. The max you can do is add a couple of lines here and there on an existing basic plaid. But this gives you lots of rooms to play around with colours.

The plate sells for $3.29 and even the fine lines and images print crisp and neat.

Ps: Plate provided for an unbiased review. 

Dreamy metallic swirls

Mostly I use metallics for stamping but this time around I used it as a base and I really liked how smoothly this one goes.

Base: 105 tutti fruity from NewU

Stamping polish: dancing in the streets from M-polish (really nice metallic sheen)

Stamping plate: BP L-003 (purchased by me link)

Top coat SV

Here's a swatch of the base in its own:

Goes smooth and not as streaky as I thought this would be considering its a metallic base.

Most streaks settled down on their own. One coater!! Should stamp well on dark bases.

Might get a few more of these newu metallic polishes. A couple of friends had success doing watermarble with their cremes too. Definitely worth getting at Rs.75/- a bottle.

(polish sent by newu for review. Opinions are honest and unbiased)

Here's a simple and elegant one, suitable to everyday too. One can add rhinestones to give it a glam/bridal look.

I am quite liking these stamping polishes from M-polish. They don't stink and show up well on light and dark colours. (link)

Took a long break didn't I?

Although I haven't really gone anywhere I've just been lazy to post. 

Instagram seems quite convenient as compared to blogging and I see most bloggers happily taking to that. But as most of them I too still love my blog more so let's keep it alive.

Here's a mani I did a few months ago.

Base: Miss Claire A18 (that's the name they gave this pretty shade). It seems to have become my go to favourite for a bright pink.

Accent fingers: Maybelline All that Glitters from their glitter mania range.

Stamping plate: OB38 stamped with maybelline bold gold. 

The studs are from born pretty store.

Trying to finish my backlog of unposted manis here's one I did. But am not fond of it. Something about the combo put me off.

While I love the glitter top coat called Pride by 27 polish. Bought this a couple years ago from their etsy store. I think the  yellow stamping on grey base didn't turn out as I imagined.

Base: china glaze white out and recycle

Glitter top coat: Pride by twenty seven polish.

Stamping polish: konad yellow

Stamping plate: BM 201

All topped with SV.
