Chevron nails inspired by my Tshirt

Hello All! These days I seem to be inspired by a lot of patterns on clothes/fabrics. Today I have Chevron nails inspired by my Tshirt.

For this design, I made decals using Moyou Fashionista Collection - 05 plate and painted my pointer and pinky nails with my current favorite polish - Revlon Shiny Matte Pinestripe. You can check my tutorial on how to make stamping decal here.

Garden nail art using stamping decal technique

Hello friends! This week has been real busy, too many things to catch up at work and home. As you all know I have been actively participating in 'Nailthattechnique' challenge and this week's theme is stamping decal. I was looking forward for this week's challenge as I have always struggled placing the stamping decal; some of my previous attempts of making decals are here and here.

This is my attempt for the challenge. I used my long pending unused Moyou London Mother Collection 01 plate for the decals. I am really happy with my attempt this time although I found placing the decal and clean up process a bit challenging. The dents and bumps are clearly visible.
Despite this, I feel confident and I am sure if I try this technique a few times the final result would be nice and smooth.

For this design, I use OPI My Vampire is Buff as base and stamped a portion of sweater pattern using Moyou London Festive 06 Collection. I used two Sally girl colors - XOXO and Crazy for stamping. They stamp so well. To finish the look I added a layer of Seche Vite Top coat.

My New Year Nail art

Hello Friends! How is the weekend going on? Today I have design I was wearing for New Year; I know its been 18 days since we have entered 2015 :)

Coming to the design; all I had in mind while doing this was happiness that 2015 would bring, fun and party on 31st night. I picked images from various plates - Bundle monster, Pueen love elements, Pueen buffet to depict the smileys, wine glass, stars and bubbles. I stamped these designs with white polish and used sponge with lead light technique to fill the designs.

Peacock nail art

 Today I have Peacock nail art, this design is inspired by Peacock Feathers nail art by amazing nail artist Setu. Check the original post here.

For this design I used two blues from Glam Polish collection, unfortunately they don't have any name and Kleancolor Metallic Purple to form gradient over half moon on all nails except the accent. Then I stamped them with peacock feathers pattern from Moyou London Tropical Collection 06 using Maybelline Colorshow Bold Gold. For the accent nail, I made a decal of the Peacock and placed it. Completed the look with layer of Seche Vite top coat. I so very loved this design.

Floral stamped mani with Lead Light technique

Hello Readers! This week's theme for the Neverending Pile Challenge is jelly polish. I have had Wet n Wild Fast Dry FushciaRama polish lying in my stash since long time and thought its perfect to use it for this theme. To use this jelly polish I tried out a new technique in stamping called Lead Light technique. You can check out MESSY MANSION LeadLight Technique video here - http://youtu.be/DIcBhxTPcYw

Look at this beautiful floral design. I received lot of compliments for this mani. I was initially skeptical as to how this would look on my tiny nails but the end result is pretty :)
