NOTD: Lace up your nails in this trend !!

I just love all things feminine... Pink....pastels....bows.....hearts..... laces.....:)

You all know laces and sheers are trending right now.... I saw some lace nail-stickers online but sadly much like most avante-garde makeup products- not easily available in India....

But ..I was literally craving for this look.....Mind you this is my second attempt at nail art..I saw something like this on one blog and hence decided to try it....
So I created my own lace pattern with apparently one of the hottest selling konad plates- M57.
Also used as a base- Maybelline Colorama cafe latte, For black stamping polish- I used streetwear tiny bottle- black.

It combines 2 plate designs as shown below

M-57 Konad Plate

Step 1 - Apply base coat(I used maybelline cafe latte) - let it dry
Step 2 - Apply/stamp edge design( above right hand side)  first at the tips of your nails to create lace border.
Step 3- Apply net design in the same plate - carefully matching and placing it just above the lace border.
Is gets simpler after the first1-2 nails...... really I did it in 15 min I think... its easier than it looks.Tip- Place the stamp with the pattern on the side of the nail - match and roll+press from side to side.
Step 4- Clean the surrounding area of your nails( yeah they will get messy- with the net straying over your cuticles and beyond!)
Step 5 - Apply top coat.
I also tried to apply top coat before stamping- but it  gets smudged with the stamp edge- so only apply it at the end.

Ta Da.....here it is

Swatches:

 Its not perfect but after the top coat it lasted a looooooong time and I had many-many compliments.
You can it with different bases or just use the net one if you are a beginner.

NOTD - Cute lil' bows for your Nails !

If you saw my post about my Accesories haul - you would already know about my love for cut lil' bows!

Now I came accross these pretty 3D kinda nail art stickers in New U and decided to dress up my nails...

This look can be achieved in under 10 minutes and requires only the following 3 things.
Even a novice can attempt this one!!

What you need is a base colour (I chose a nude pink) - nail art stickers and a top coat!

You get pretty nails with embossed 3D bows on them in the end!

Only 3 things needed!

 

 

 It cost me about Rs.30/- ONLY

 This sticker was filled with 10 lil bows too.... which are on my fingers now! So it looks a tad empty...

This lasted for a good time (4-5 days) and only about 1-2 bows were scrapped out (with heavy usage!)
The bows look painted on from afar and were not too raised-up .... looked rather nice... Don't ya think??

Plus you can wear this even at work! (at least for me!)

These stickers are available in many shapes... will be surely getting more of these!

How did you like this one guys?

Now I just need to find some strawberries.... (next fav thing to bows!) :P
