Trendy Thursday - Indian Arrival Day

2013-06-01T22:09:00.002-04:00

Not a lot of people know this but my Great-Grams on my mother's side came on that boat from India so although we don't really do anything special, it still holds a place in my heart - I even own a piece of her jewelry, a simple ring.

Today's Nail Art: Indian Arrival Day

My Take: White Sari

Do you see the layers in this glitter sandwich?

For me it represents the layers of beauty in a Sari - the Traditional Female Indian Wear which i adore and take every chance and opportunity i get to wear one ;)

It's the only time i get to go over the top with jewelry and make-up and everything - whoo hoo!!!

I got that from my mother :D

A Nail Art Tutorial - Peacock Inspired Valentines Day Nail Art

2013-02-07T21:41:00.000-04:00

Bible history shows that peacocks were among the valuable imports of King Solomon. It is interesting to imagine peacocks strutting about in his royal gardens. (1 Kings 10:22, 23) These birds surely tell us that there is an intelligent Designer. When the peacock dances with its outspread train of dazzlingly colored feathers, one cannot help but marvel at the artistic abilities of Jehovah, the God who “created all things.”—Revelation 4:11.
The Peacock also symbolizes Eternal Love that's why i thought that this would be a perfect look for Valentines.

Here's the tutorial for this Simple Easy Look.

PRODUCTS USED:

Jordana Pearl
Kleancolor Metallic Yellow
Kleancolor Metallic Green
Kleancolor Atomic
Kleancolor Retro Green

You've Been Swatched - Sinful Colors (What's Your Name)

2013-02-05T09:15:00.000-04:00

Mysterious and Beautiful.

Black base with Blueish Super Micro Glitters but some how shows Iridescent in different lights.

Opacity achieved with 2 coats and removes very easily unlike your regular glitter polishes.

Trendy Thursdays - Purple

2013-01-31T22:08:00.001-04:00

This one was a little tricky.
I wanted to try something i have never attempted before, mainly because i didn't own any Jelly Nail Polishes. But wait - I did!
Sinful Color in Daddy's Little Girls is a Jelly with Glitters.
Only after applying it then i realize that for this technique i should have gone a different direction.
I paired it with Kleancolor's Aurora which carries iridescent chunky glitters with stars also.
My Adventure in Samwiching Began...
When i tried to take pictures, the flash washed out the glitters but i think i got some shots where u can barely make then out.

Today's Nail Art: Purple
My Take: Glitter Samwich

This won't be my last attempt at Glitter Samwich...
Stay Tuned in for more... ;)
