Pros:

1. The color is a lovely warm pink! It’s not bright red and not even a neon red..it something in between!

2. The brush is rounded at tip which helps easy application. One of the best brushes I’ve seen so far, just needs a single stroke!

3. Does not leave streaks,smooth finish!

4. Dries quickly!

5. Chips after 5-6 days (A single coat with no top coat chips in 2 days.)

Cons:

1. The bottle is very small for the price! (Rs.225 for 5ml)

2. Needs three coats for a perfect finish which is a lot of polish from that already small bottle.

3. Claims to be a gel color but does not reach the standard of one!

Will I buy again?

Maybe! I’m happy with the pretty coral color and totally in love with the brush.The only thing that turns me off is the price of that tiny bottle! So if my pocket is filled, I don’t mind buying this shade again and again

Do you like the shade?Let me know in the comments section below

2. VOV grey nail polish.

3. Viviana nail enamel- yellow

4. Viviana nail enamel metallic brown.

5. Cheap turquoise glitter polish.

6. Revlon color stay top coat.

7. Ranara base coat.

8. Lakme absolute nude glow gel nail color.

Apply ranara base coat to protect your natural nails. Don’t miss out on this step especially when you are dealing with dark nail polishes.

Step One: Paint your nails black using the Loreal color riche black swan nail polish. Allow it to dry.

Step Two: Using a sponge, dab VOV grey nail polish similarly to what we do in gradient nails. (check gradient nails tutorial here) However here we just dab on little portions of the nail.

Step Three: Now using another sponge dab some yellow nail polish over the grey. And some metallic brown polish around it. Allow it to dry. (Tip: Using tweezers to hold the sponge makes the application easier)

Step Four: Using a toothpick dipped in Lakme Nude Glow Gel color, randomly make many tiny dots. Make a few large dots too. These will make the stars.

Step Five: Apply glitter polish over the entire nail for a starry and shiny look.You can use clear glitter too! I used what I have

Finish with a top coat to seal in your design!Applying is top coat is essential because it will make your nail art smoother !

The post Leopard Half Moon Nails. appeared first on Gone Trendy.

Pros:

1. The shade is really a subtle hot pink! (Not too bright but still a hot pink). If you are looking for a bright pink color with a nice name this is it One of my favorite hot pinks so far.

2. The nail polish is easy to handle and does not leave streaks.

3. It’s chip resistant.Lasted almost a week(very little chipping seen at the tips)

4. It’s cheap compared to other polishes.( Rs. 100 on Flipkart )

5. Good for water marbling.

6. Needs only two coats to get the color in the bottle.

Cons:

1. Looks ugly on dark complexions. If you are fair just go for it.

2. I’m not very happy with the brush of this polish.The bristles do not spread enough during application.

3. The polish is a little runny.(which makes it good for water marbling).

Will I Buy again?

Umm..Depends if I don’t find an equally hot pink with a better brush then I will. The shade is no doubt good but I would prefer a better quality polish! If you are looking for a cheap hot pink then this is a nice option I have done a few nail arts using this polish

Like it?? Then go ahead! You can buy this product here.

So last time I did a glitter gradient nail art using glitter polish(of course!) and here is how I got rid of it.

Things you need:

1. Acetone (works better than nail polish remover but you can using a regular nail polish remover too)

2. Plastic sheet.

3. Cotton.

Step One: Take a piece of cotton and soak it in a cup filled with acetone/nail polish remover.

Step Two: Now place the soaked cotton on your nail.

Step Three: Immediately cover the nail and cotton bud with the plastic sheet. Wait for 5 mins. While you are waiting you can repeat the same for all nails.

Step Four: Remove the plastic sheet and swipe the cotton bud on your nail. Watch your nail polish go away at the same time!

Easy! No fuss! No frustration!

Apply cuticle oil and your nails are now ready for the next nail art!

ps: This post is totally inspired by my discussion with Aziz and Harsha in the last post

Do you have any other ideas?

The post Remove Glitter Nail Polish Easily! appeared first on Gone Trendy.

I absolutely love glitter polish and wanted to go something good for the 17th challenge of the 31 day nail art challenge!As you know I’ve already don’t gradient nails in my earlier challenge, but that was using regular polish. So, if you have even a little knowledge in nail polishes you will know that it almost impossible to do ombre nails using the glitter polish and sponge method. So I’m going to show you another way of doing gradient nails which is equally easy!

Products used for this nail art:

1. Cheap turquoise glitter polish

2. Ranara base coat (essential)

3. Asepta top coat.

Step One: Apply base coat to protect your natural nails. Never miss the base coat when dealing with glitter nail polish.

Step Two:Apply a layer of your glitter polish which starts almost at the base of your nail. How ever I prefer to leave a little space around the base.

Step Three: Now once the first coat is dry, apply another layer of glitter polish starting from the middle half of your nail and running towards the tip. Allow it to dry.

Step Four: Apply glitter polish to the tips of your nail. Allow it to dry!

So here we eventually built up more glitter polish around the tip and less near the base thus creating a gradient effect. You can build up more polish if you wish, I’ve done only three coats because i wanted it to be calm and casual and not very very glittery!

Step Five: Finish with a fast drying top coat to seal in your design.

I did a little white wild flower on my ring finger to give it a different look Check my wild flower nail art post to try that.

Its easy yet so sexy! Carry this glitter gradient with a stunning outfit turquoise (such as this one I loved from Lakme Fashion week) and be ready to shine!

If I was asked to name this polish I would call it Freshest cranberry! The color of the polish is less of a purple and more of a cranberry-raspberry color! Its a jelly nail polish. OPI calls it a sorbet polish!

Pros:

1. The color is yummy and fresh! Glistens like a freshly picked fruit! And it looks damn sexy on my nails  *blush*  ^_^

2. It holds up well and lasted for an entire week! No lies! One of the most chip resistant nail polish brands!

3. The brush is a standard OPI brush with soft bristles which spread easily.The grip is good too.

4. It’s a sorbet color which gives a glossy finish to your manicure!

5. Consistancy is nice and thin and not goopy like cheaper brands. Formula is good!Applied the nail polish neatly without streaks and clumpy gluggy looking bits on it

6. Dries super quick!

Cons:

1. I had to apply three coats of polish to get an opaque look. Four coats to get the color in the bottle.

Overall I just love the color a lot! Will love to buy this polish again! If you wish to buy this color, its available on official OPI website  

I would recommend it to women looking for a good quality nail polish which lasts for a long time and is really pretty too

“India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy.

Let’s begin!

Apply base coat to protect your natural nails.

Step One: Apply two coats of white polish and allow it to dry.

Step Two: Make different sized Stripes across the nail using a brush dipped in orange polish. Some stripes can be thick some can be thin. It all depends on which color you want in your tribal print nail art.

Step Three: Similarly draw more stripes of different sizes using yellow and blue nail polish.Allow to dry.

Step Four: Do a few black line using acrylic paint. I have used acrylic paint instead of a regular black nail polish because it gives me much more control. And its easier to do little detailing with acrylic paint. You can also use black nail polish if you wish.( Secret: I’ve painted black lines where my colored stripes were not very crisp. This gave me a chance to hide my mistakes )

Step Five: So random dots,lines, square triangles,zig-zag lines,arrows or any other tribal design you wish to do with the help of a toothpick dipped in black acrylic paint. You can get really creative here! Draw anything you like!!
