Quick n easy Easter nails

This year like every other I didn't have time to do my nails for easter. 

Luckily for me I had thought ahead. 

I bought easter water slide nail decals from www.bornprettystore.com

 It has Easter bunnies and Easter eggs!

Waterside decals are similar to the flash tattoos (refer my previous blog).

The steps for using them are: 

 1)Cut the decals you would like to use from the decal paper.

2)Place / soak the decal in water for about 15/20 seconds. 

3)Take the decal out of water and simply slide the backing of the decal away.

4)Place your decal into the desired position on the nail and dry off the water. 

5)You can then use a coat of top coat to seal your design. 

6)If you do not use a top coat...then you will find that your decals come off. 

I painted my yellow, pink and green for spring :P 

I pasted a pink bunny decal on my yellow nail and the yellow Easter egg decal on my Pink nail.

On my green coloured nails I used two more bunny decals.

 

For my pinkie I sugar coat by Sally Hansen in white colour for a French mani effect. 

One alternative is you can paint dots on the green nails.

I used these nail art pens by Hot designs that my friend sent me from Prague. But u can use a dotting tool or even a toothpick to create dots on your nails.

Rest of the products are:

Flash tattoo nail art

In my February favourites blog I mentioned flash tattoos since then I've been using them a lot. 

These tattoos are fairly easy to use. 

1.Cut out the design of your choice peel off the plastic. 

2.Place the tattoo face down on area of your choice. 

3.Dampen the paper and press and hold it for a few seconds. 

4.As the damp paper slides off voila there's your flash tattoo.

You can buy these tattoos on www.amazon.com or www.flipkart.com or www.ebay.com 

I decided to try and use these tattoos to liven up my boring nails.

I had painted my nails pink and blue and after a few days they started looking dull.

I decided to use silver and black star shaped tattoos. And followed steps 1 through 4 that I mentioned above.

The only change here is I placed the tattoo on the already painted nails.

My nails pretty long so I used two stars on my thumb.

After Drying up the damp area surrounding the tattoo. 

I used a clear top coat to seal the tattoo in place. 

I used the Sally Hansen Topcoat on my nails .

Repeated the same procedure for the rest of my nails. 

All my fashionistas, yes I know about water decals for nails. 

But getting the water decals in Mumbai is a hassle so these flash tattoos are an easy alternative. 

So wipe off ur tears ladies coz now u can have bling on ur nails in minutes.

M planning to do an Easter nail art using water decals. Lemme know if u guys wanna see a blog about it.

Till then keep smiling & bling up ur nails.

Product Review - ANNY Polish Corrector

Colouring outside the lines is what I've been doing since childhood. 

It's cute when u r a kid! But when the same kid grows up n applies nail polish like 5 year old using water color it's a no no. 

Not all of us would wanna get our nails done in the salon always. 

ANNY Polish corrector is a Salvation for messy people like me.

I picked it up at the SM Store in Manila, Phillipines.

It looks like a felt-tipped pen and the tip is shaped like a cuticle pusher. 

The other end of the pen contains 3 extra tips. 

In most of the DIY manis that you see people say that if you want a nail color to POP apply a coat of white first and then paint the color of your choice. 

Problem with this is when the coat of white peeks out below the actual color.

After using the Polish corrector my nails are much cleaner. 

Some might say why should I spend money for such a product. I can suggest two cheaper alternatives.........

1) Ear bud- dip you cotton bud in Polish remover and clean up the area around your nail .

Problem here is the shape of the cotton bud doesn't allow us to clean the crevices in the sides of the nails.

2) Tooth pic / cuticle pusher - Cover a tooth pic / cuticle pusher with cotton and dip it in Polish remover. 

Problem in this case is if the cotton is too wet it might fall on the good part of the painted nail. If the cotton gets too dry fibres might get stuck to the nail.

All in all I am pretty happy with this product and would surely recommend it to you guys. 

Also for the ladies who wanna know what colors I used for my mani 

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - shade 300 (White On) 

Bourjois So laque glossy - shade 06 (Adore-bleu) 

Maybelline Color Show- shade 212 (Hooked-on-Pink)

Keep smiling n keep painting ur nails!

February Favourites

On the last day of the month I realised I used a bunch of new accessories. My favourites of the lot are my hair accessories. 

I recently straightened my hair so m back to using all my hairbands n bows :D

I had purchased this multi-colored floral tiara from Hill road Bandra along with my Christmas decorations for Rs.100. 

I din't use it for Christmas or New Years coz many ppl were wearing these also it wasn't going with either of my outfits. 

Finally Wore it on Valentine's Day with an off white dress from www.Forever21.com n a jacket from www.TheClosetLabel.com .

My next favourite is a set of two things that I bought from www.Amazon.com 

When I ordered this I thought it's a clip on flower & was'nt sure if i would use it as a hairband .

But I tried it on n I was pretty happy with it. The flower covers up one side of my head so I used it on a day when my hair  

Was slightly greasy n I was too lazy to wash it ^_* 

Flash tattoos or metallic tattoos are a rage these days. M obsessed with'em.

It's that touch of bling without jewellery. 

My last favourite of the month is an fusion maang tikka hairband from the brand www.TheTrunkLabel.com styled by bipasha basu. It's a little pricey but I got it on sale for around 350 rupees so m happy. 

Was so psyched that I tried it on as soon as I bought it.

OMG ! She said!!!

The 3 most frequently used words by almost every girl I know - OMG!!

A statement necklace n two-finger ring n a cute little pair of earrings is all one needs! Over a period of a few months I managed to put together the look! 

The first thing I found was the statement necklace at a Claire's store! Lucky for me the store had a 50% off some of their accessories and I bought this only coz twas on half off.

A few months later I bought the earrings from www.forever21.com ! It is a part of a set of 3 pairs of earrings that say OMG, LOL & YOLO! 

Picked up the ring from Blur Accessories in November! They had a sale in I got it for half off! So yay I saved some more:) !

And finally this is me saying OMG! 

It's raining Reds - First impressions of L'oreal star collection!

L'oreal recently launched the star collection. It's a bunch of Lippys named after some gorgeous women! All shades of matte red!

I bought two of those shades one of em mainly coz it was the "Blake Lively" shade  “Pure Scarleto”

Yes yes I am a GG fan.☺️

The other shade I picked up is  “Pure Rouge  by Freida Pinto.  This one I bought not because I like Freida but It seemed pretty much like my all time favourite RubyWoo by M.A.C.😝

These are the swatches of both the shades! 💋💋

I tried on the Scarleto (Blake ☺️) shade. It looked pretty good but faded after a while also I had to touch up after a meal. But it felt nice and creamy not dry like the RubyWoo. 💋💋

I swatched both the shades on either side of my RubyWoo any the funny thing was that the Blake shade (Pure Scarleto) is much similar to the RubyWoo as compared to the Freida (Pure Rogue). 

I'm not sure if I'll be using the Pure Rouge coz it is slightly maroonish! 

On an average I liked the lipsticks but their price is on the higher side Rs.995.

Still tempted to buy a couple more.💋💋 

Neon fever --- Colorbar

Just bought the Colorbar Pro Mini Collection.

Can't wait to unbox it!! 

Was actually out shopping for a family function. I walked in to Colorbar to buy a Glitterati nail color n I fell in love with this. 

It's a set of 4 neon colors of 5ml each. It's a good option for those ladies who r reluctant to spend the same amount on a single 15ml bottle especially on a neon color. 

The packaging is very eye catching. 

Love the quote "pop goes my heart" reminded me of Hugh Grant's song in "Music & Lyrics".

I finally opened it!! 

Was so unsure as to which one to try so finally decided that I'll try each color on a different finger. 

And for the fifth finger I used black color. This is after two coats of each color. I was a little disappointed in the yellow shade rest were pretty fine. 

Finally topped it off with a coat of Colorbar Glitterati nail color in the shade "MossRock"!!!
