Textured Tweed & Swirls Nailart- Fall nail design with Video Tutorial

Hello Lovelies,

Fall is slowly advancing and nature is slowly changing to show it's best outfit, Right? Sadly I can only enjoy fall season in pictures and online. Being in "non-fall" zone of the world has deprived me from experiencing this magic  :( But I won't quit painting my nails for fall that's only thing I can do haha so here is my first mani for this season. It's #PatternNails but inspired from dark earthy tones of fall. I tried to create #TweedNails but used #DryBrushTechnique for it so they look "Tweed-ish" and then painted the design with acrylic colours. It looks great on nails and the best part you don't have to spend hours to make your nails look that pretty :D . For those who love to watch Video Tutorials don't forget to click on the Tutorial link at the end of the post. Enjoy more pics below

Cupcake Fairy Nails for Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer- National Cupcake Day

Hello Lovelies,
Today I am sharing a very special nailart which I did for raising awareness about childhood cancer. This is really unfortunate to see that so many of our tiny angels suffer from this deadly disease. To raise awareness on detecting early signs and also to encourage our heroes Cupcakes of Hope is running an event where they encourage people to make cupcakes for little soldiers and send their wishes and ray of hope.. You can connect with them on their Facebook page HERE

Also Tip-Top Nails from South Africa is partnering with them and asked all Nail Enthusiast to do nailart based on Cupcake theme which is a great initiative and I decided to be a part of this. Though it's a competition but I wanted to be in just for the cause :) So let's have a look at my nailart........

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 !
