Pink Cloud Nail Art

Sharing with you all, a cloud mani from the archieves. When I dont have much time and lack of nail art tools (which is usually when I am traveling) I recreate this nail art with different colors each time. You can see my previous cloud mani nail art's here, here and here. The polishes that I have used for this nail art are - Revlon's Cupid and Plum Seduction and Sally Hansen's Sun Kissed.

Simple Purple Nails

Sometimes all you need a simple mani, nothing over the top, nothing new. So I created this really simple purple nail art and as you can see didn't even take its picture until after 2 days. The polishes used are Revlon's Lily (my favorite mauve shade) and OPI's Parlez-vous OPI? You can see another nail art using these two shades and more, here.

Go Green

GO GREEN with this simple gradient green dots nail art. See another similar gradient green nail art which I did 2 years ago HERE.

Polishes used are - Revlon's Jaded and Emerald City, Urban Outfitter's Girrl Like You, Butter London's Jaded Jack and Cotton Buds, Charlotte Russe's "Unnamed" Dark Green Color.

Pink Gradient Dotticure

When in doubt always go for pink and this is what today’s dotticure is about. This nail art is from my archives and I created gradient dotticure using different pink shades few years ago. The base coat is creamy white from Revlon called Pure Pearl. The pink polishes are China Glaze’s , Revlon’s Cupid and Plum Seduction. A simple yet pretty nail art.

Pink Leaves

I wanted to create some free-hand contrasting leaves for this nail art and had the hardest time deciding what colors to use until I settled for this color scheme. The polishes I used are Butter London’s Cotton Buds and Fruit Machine. Also used Revlon’s Plum Seduction. Love the outcome here.

Green Polka Dots

When I go on long vacations (8+ days) I tend to carry few nails polishes with me just in case I want to change my vacation nail art. Since I don’t carry lot of nail art supplies and only few polishes, I tend to work on some simple nail art while on vacation. So today’s nail art is one such simple nail design, that I did in flat 5 mins on my nails. Due to lack of brushes/tools and cleaning supplies, this is the best I could come up with. So please excuse the lack of proper cleaning. The polishes that I used are Sinfulcolors Innocent, Revlon’s Emerald City and OPI’s my boyfriend scales the walls.

These pictures were taken on my vacation, hence the outdoor shots in the background of a river and grass :)

Pink Colorblock

Sometimes all you need a simple pink nail art to cheer you up. And that's what it is, a simple pink and red colorblock nail art. Pink's are Revlon's Cupid and Plum Seduction. Red is Ulta's Red Carpet Red.

Gold Studs

Hi all, today's nail art nail art is inspired by a picture, click here to see the original nail art by the artist. The sqaure gold studs that I have used here are from BornPrettyStore. To get 10% odd your order from BornPrettyStore, use the code QANX31 at checkout. You can see my previous haul from this store here and here. The polishes that I have used are Wet n Wild's I need a refresh-mint, Revlon's Cupid and Sinful Color's Snow Me White.

And those of you who have been asking me, Yes, I paint both my hands. The left hand's nail art is slightly better than the right ones because I am right-handed, but still I make an attempt. I think I am getting better at it. I myself can't take pictures of my both hands so both of them get clicked only when I have someone around me to do the honors.

Lavender n mint

Hi all, today I am sharing with you all my first nail art from year 2014. That's right this is the nail art I did when I got myself some time in January 2014.

I started with a coat of a base polish. On top of it I added two coats of OPI's Do You Liliac It polish. Then when it was dry I diagonally added Revlon's Jaded and some white lines using OPI's My boyfriend scales the walls.

The outcome looks good and I like how the two colors compliment each other. A good start for nail art for the year 2014 ;)

Red n Gold

Today I am sharing with you all a nail art which I did more than a year ago, for an Indian festival, that's why you see all that Indian jewelry and finery in the pictures :) It's a simple nail art with a flower and some tiny glitter.

Polishes used are: Red - Ulta's Red Carpet Red, Orange is OPI's On the same Paige, Gold is Revlon's Golden and Gold Glitter is Sephora By OPI's Only Gold For Me.

Enjoy!!!

Valentines Series: Nail Art using Revlon's Stencils

Welcome to the 100th blog post of Nails Context. Yes you read it right, 100th :) Can't believe it. Feels like just yesterday when I started my blog. Also in case you are following Nails Context on Instagram, you must know I recently reached 1000 followers on Instagram.

Now about today's post, I recently came across Nail art stencils from Revlon at a drug store and decided to give them a try. I bought the heart nail art stencils and decided what better time than Valentine's Day to try them out. So for the following cute Valentine's Day nail art that you see, the hearts I did are by using the Stencils and the dots are done by using a dotting tool.

I will post a pictorial (tutorial in pictures) tomorrow, so you get to see how easy it was to do this nail art. The polishes that I have used here are - Red is Chanel's Dragon, Pink is Revlon's Cupid and White is Butter London's Cotton Buds.

Valentines Series: Hearts It Is

Hello All. Is it me or is 2014 already running by so fast. Cannot believe its Feb already. We all know what Feb means, isn't it. It means Valentines Day. And what defines Valentine's Day better than hearts. So today's nail art is what I wore, on my nails, last year for Valentine's Day (hence the lack of better pictures).

The polishes that I have used are Revlon's Cupid and Plum Seduction.

I did similar nail art for my Sister's feet last year for Valentines Day. Below is a picture of that. It shows how you can recreate same nail art on both hands and feet.

Hope you all like it. Have a wonderful month of February.

Valentines Series: Pink and Bold

Hi all January is coming to an end and soon it will be 14th February. So today I am sharing with you all my first Valentines Day manicure. I did this nail art last year hence lack of better pictures.

The polishes that I have used are Revlon's Cupid and OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark. I don't have much to say about this nailart, except that I like how both these polishes look so good together.

Hope you all like it and stay tuned for more Valentine's Day nail art ideas.
