Elegant Much?

While i do claim to be a girly girl i don't think delicate and elegant is my forte. I'm usually the one who spills her drink, trips over thin air, and drops things over.

Anywhoo this is my mani for The Girly Girl Challenge - Delicate and Elegant, I started with two coats of Deborah Milano  7 Days Long  No. 833 its a beautiful pink i wonder why they don't name these beauts.

Then i went to stamp town. I used Faces White O White to stamp because my Konad Special White ain't so special no more. I used Konad M-57 and stamped this lace down the centre.

I can't say I'm perfectly happy with the way the image transferred but I'm not sure if it was me or the image on the plate.

All in all i think lacy designs qualify as delicate so this fit the bill. I hope you'll are enjoying Friday in a drunken stupor somewhere!


Happy Weekend,

Do check out what the other girls did :)

And then there was colour!

 

The time period for this week's Inspired by a time period challenge by Llama Nails is Ancient Greece.

If you thought my inspiration for Ancient Mayan was kinda average wait till you see this one. 

I searched and searched maybe i just had a mental block or something, anyhow i came across a picture of Ancient Greek clothing (maybe it was on Google so seems legit) and i thought maybe i could put my own spin on it.

So i painted my nails white, i used two coats of Faces White O White. And then i stared and stared but just couldn't figure out what to do next. Shame.

I then looked at my polishes lying around and decided oh never mind I'm just gonna go colour crazy. The Greeks definitely know how to have fun so lets just assume the ancients knew too.

*ta-da*

I really liked this it also was very appropriate for Holi an Indian festival we celebrate with colours :)

 

I just used a straw put drops of polish on my nails one at a time and puffed and puffed. Haha.

one without my pinkie cuz i didn't like that as much as the others :)

The colours i used :

Maybelline Colorama Laranja Citrico

Etude :- nameless turquoise 

Pride:- nameless cherry red

VOV:- nameless yellow

Avon:- Electric Green.

I ain't really ranting today because I'm kinda embarrassed about going off on a weird tangent instead of the actual time period. I hope you'll like it though.

Hiding in a corner

Don't forget to go see what all the other lovely ladies did! :)

I'll take my inspiration wherever I find it!

Mayans gambled.

What else would explain the Mayan inspired playing cards i found!

 Ancient Mayan was the time period for last week's Inspired By A Time Period Challenge by Llama Nails.

Initially i thought it was Ancient Greece and kept putting it off then i saw it was Mayan and boy was it difficult to find inspiration.

I looked and looked and found the Russian playing cards inspired by mayans. Ill take my inspiration wherever i find it thank you

Thus was born this mani.

I started with Avon Warm Black two coats. Then i cut off the bristles of a paint brush to make my own striping tool and used it with a cute Etude cherry red,nameless, then i just sponged the other two colours from the playing card. I used a VOV gold and Etude turquoise blue both nameless.

i also tried to do the design just like the playing card with the star thingie in the square but it didn't turn out that great. :(

This is my Mani it's not the best but I'd decided to show you'll all my mani's fail or no fail. And this one isn't half bad actually, it's just a million miles away from the kind of mani you'd expect for this time period.


Peace Out!

Don't forget to go see what all the other lovely ladies did! :)
