Bling a Ling

woot! that doesn't make sense! I know :) so you know how i was supposed to catch up with my mani's in the sequence they were supposed to be posted? well I've decided to let my mild OCD relax for a bit. I went and looked at all the other posts out there and i wanted in.

So here it is my second post in the same day *ha don't get used to it* for the same challenge which the awesome Moore is hosting with me. It is The Girly Girl Challenge - Gimme That Bling!

So i started with my VOV clear polish that i use as base coat and top coat and then using my fingers smeared on paste. Yup! normal ordinary craft paste and waited for it to dry.

Still with me? Good. So i wanted this to be a total bling-y affair and all i wanted to use was glitter dust so i used the paste to help me peel off the glitter easy peasy :)

*drool*

I bought this from Khar Beauty Centre (for anyone who is in Mumbai) for umm 250 rs i think. That is approximately 6 USD. Neat right? Then i used the Blue Silver and Pink and mixed them up, i applied another coat of VOV transparent on my nails and dipped my finger into the glitter then i used a brush to fill in the gaps and then added another coat of polish.

 wannabe macro shot. lol

 most colour accurate

 this ones without top coat

Lets just go look at them again..i love it! Now this is also the Mani i wore for my surgery and as soon as i was admitted they wanted me to take it off so i had this on for like 2 hours only what a waste. Thank god for me i had decided to try the paste technique or I'd have to spend forever getting this off in the hospital. The paste technique pretty much worked i peeled most of it off and had to use a little bit of acetone to get rid of the base coat and few sparklies. i know that is not a word.


I should be in bed!

Do check out what the other girls did :) 

Happy Stinkin Monday xoxo

Happy stinkin Monday peeps!

Who am i - rithika!!
What do i hate - Mondays!!

Now that we've established that let me elaborate!? Don't i always? It's back to full fledged work for me starting today, after enjoying countless *okay* three weekends of lazing around doing nothing using the fact that I've had surgery to the fullest. Heck when we were going to my aunts place this last extended weekend *i.e Wednesday through Sunday say woot!* Heck! my mom even considered pushing me into the handicapped compartment in the train because well maybe i qualify and its less crowded. Jeez that's not so funny in writing. No offence intended, besides i am kinda mentally challenged. Right?  *awkward*

Umm okay then on to the mani i should  have posted ages ago and well i should be ashamed Moore let me co-host and i missed not one but two posts even though they are done. Fml. That website has some cra-azy stuff there though. Go have a looksie. 

So here is my first post for The Girly Girl Challenge - Think Pink. I am a total girly girl and I'd like a pink unicorn that burps butterflies and...well you get the drift doncha?

I started with Avon Speed dry+ Fusion a frosty light pink with shimmer in it. Its quite opaque in one coat but i don't think it would stamp well because its pretty light.

I used two coats and then went stamp crazy using Konad M-83 and Konad special red. 

I had a tough time getting the images to transfer onto the stamp but that's probably me because it was okay after a bazillion attempts .

Also, i did this on my right hand too cause i wanted to wear this to work on 1st April and i managed to do a better job on my right hand. weird.

hello you widdle weird right hand pose :D

What else is girlie lets see..
 pink check 
hearts check 
red hearts +1

How is the day treating ya? Don't let Monday get in the way of them drinks lol.
 
Monday why u no Sunday again!?

Do check out what the other girls did :)

Life is like a joint...

Life is like a joint indeed! Sometimes you need a good kick to make you happy :). Yes i came up with this gem all by myself and no i was not high. 

So I've been off the grid lately this was not intentional all my mani's were done it was just the posting. I guess life just got in the way but I'm here now and we are going to catch up with posts that are ridiculously overdue.

Today's shamelessly late mani is the fourth installation of the Crumpet's Nail Tarts Tri Polish Challenge  it was supposed to be live on the fourth Thursday of March i.e the 28th! Woot! 

  Avon Electric Green, Midnight Plum and Coral Beat

I started with two coats of Avon Electric Green, now the photo for this was taken a few days before i did the manicure so for some reason the colours are different for the before and after! 

It's a lovely green which is slightly runny but two coats makes it opaque. Then i stamped using Konad M-38 and a nameless white polish because my Konad Special Polish - White is running out. This new white was a little sheer though so the image didn't stand out as bright. It wasn't half bad though, see for yourself. 

 see? pwetty <3

There it is! My entry for the Tri Polish Challenge - Day 4. I will be posting all the other manicures in quick succession so hopefully I'll be all caught up real soon! I missed you guys so much, nail polish is really therapeutic for me.

Love,

Have a look at the other awesome Mani's for the challenge:-
