Freehand Chevron Pattern

You all remember my Chevron nail art. This time for the chevron mani, instead of using tape to create chevron pattern, I freehanded it. It was easy to do and I was done quickly. The polishes that I have used are both Sally Hansen's - Hard to Get and Mellow Yellow. The glitter polish is Maybelline's Gilded Rose.

Sweet Color Flake Polish

Today I am presenting you all with swatch of a gorgeous polish that I ordered recently. While browsing through Born Pretty Store online, I came across this beautiful multichromatic flakie glitter from Sweet Color polish. I immediately fell in love with it and couldn't resist buying it. This is a perfect and different glitter to add to my polish collection.


There are a different Sweet Color flakies available but I chose the Sweet Color Shade #4 (I wish they had better names to identify the polishes...) which looked most interesting among all due to its multichromatic nature.


For the pictures below I applied the Sweet Color flake polish on a royal blue polish so that the flakes are visible more easily in a dark background. When you move around your nails in light, these flakes change color and it makes them look gorgeous.


I purchased this bottle for $9.99 (sale price) online on Born Pretty Store. If you want more details for this polish you can leave your queries in the comments section below. To get 10% odd your order from BornPrettyStore, use the code QANX31 at checkout.

Pedicure

Did I mention that my niece Esha loves my nail art? and everytime I visit her she wants me to paint her toe nails. So this past long weekend when I was visiting her, she wanted me to paint her toe nails neon orange. Not only I painted her toe nails in neon orange by Orly, I also added some fun nail art to it. Also I painted my sister's nails in pretty red polish with some nail art. Below is a picture of both which I took from my iphone.

Orange Dotticure

I see nail art inspirations everywhere...in flowers, in movies, in fabrics, in paintings, etc etc. I also see nail art inspirations in fellow bloggers work. Some of them are so good that sometimes I can't help but recreate their exact nail art (You have seen that happen here and here). The nail art that I am sharing with you all today is one of those which I recreated after an inspiration from my favorite nail art blogger Sophie.

This nail art was really easy to recreate. The polishes that I have used here are - OPI's On the same Paige, Charlotte Russe's Orange Creme and Sally Hansen's Hard to Get.


Hope you like it.

Pantone's Color of the Year 2014 - Radiant Orchid

In December 2013, Pantone announced the color of the year for 2014 - Radiant Orchid. Radiant Orchid, in the words of Pantone is “An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”

I personally love this shade and have a number of pink's, mauve's and purple's in my nail polish collection. So I decided to use the polish closest to Radiant Orchid in my collection and create a nail art out of it. I chose "Parlez-vous OPI?" from OPI which is a lovely purple. For ascent nails I decided to paint freehand flowers.



Hope you all like it and enjoy my take on Pantone's color of the year 2014 - Radiant Orchid.
