Tropical Summer Nails - Inspired by Robin Moses

Hello Lovelies,

But finally I settled on this lovely tropical floral nails. Let's have a look

Stamped Nails Colouring Technique - Cute Floral Spring Nailart (Video Tutorial)

Hello Lovelies


Today I will share an easy way to transform your mani instead doing a new one all over again. I came up with this idea after I got bored with my existing design and was thinking to do a new one. I thought why not fill some colour to the existing one and so I call it Stamped Nails Colouring Technique :P. All you need is a thin brush and little practice with free hand so you can fill the colours exactly in design. I filmed a short tutorial on how I did mine. Let's have a look

Gone Girl - Nails Inspired by Book.

Hello Lovelies,


Today's nailart is inspired by the book called Gone Girl written by Gillian Flynn. The Polished Bookworms (A facebook group) decided to read this book for the month of march. It is one of the best sellers but it didn't turn out to be my favourite. I love thrillers but somehow I felt that justice was not done. This book revolves around the marriage of a laid off writer couple. Story is well knit and interesting but I think end was not very impressive for me.
Anyways coming to nailart I tried to bring out the main theme on my nails.

#WearYellowForSeth- Paw Patrol Nails for Seth

Hello Friends,



This is an unusual post from me. It's about nails of course but the cause is different than just showcasing my talent. I am wearing yellow nails for Seth, a five year old hero who is fighting with a rare disease called Severe Combine Immune Deficiency (SCID). All over Instagram and other social media you can search the tag #WearYellowForSeth and see how people have joined in to make this day special for Seth. Seth loves Fireman Sam , Paw Patrol and Yellow. So I thought to draw some characters for Paw Patrol and do Yellow nails. I wish him all the best and may he GET WELL SOON ! Below you can see my nailart and also link to his website so you can read whole story about his journey so far !

First theme in this challenge is Blobbicure :) This is probably my second attempt for blobbicure and I loved how it turned out. I called it Reptile skin though I never planned it like that. I did try a lot of colours and finally settled on this colour combo.

Nails inspired by book Big Little Lies

Hello Lovelies,
Today I'm going to share nail art inspired by a book. Last month I joined a facebook group called 'The Polished Bookworm'. I am so glad to be part of this group as I am able to revive my love of reading again. Every month one book is selected by the members and after we finish  reading we discuss the book and do a nailart inspired by the book. In January we all read Big Little Lies and I did my nails inspired by the book cover.
