Valentines' hearts

I know valentines' day was almost 2 weeks ago but i have to show you what i had on my nails on that day

This is also not an original design from me - i need to work on my creativity or lack of it. Anyway,  I used Luron Nail polish (a french manicure sheer pink) # FB213 as my base, then drew one red heart on each nail, partially outlined it using black nail polish, and finally did the leopard print design using black and brown nail polish. I added a top coat as well. 

Polka dots!!!

Its been well over 3 weeks since i last posted anything but not to worry, i am back. Today i have more than one mani from the 'vaults' to share with you. I did not come up with these designs. 

The polka dots mani i did for the 31 day challenge was just too basic and i didn't really like it. I think i used way too many dots so this time round, this is what i did:

Obviously the first pic shows a neater manicure. I like the colours there. The second pic....i don't like. And thats all am going to say about that. 

French Manicure - take 2

I have been loving the French mani i did for my previous post but decided to spice it up. This is what i came up with...

I just added some lace-y detail to the tips and i think i love this more than the plain french mani.

French Manicure

Hi guys! I am so happy to be done with the 31 day challenge. After spotting colourful nails for so many days, i decided to go for a natural plain look. I say natural because my dear friend Patrick asked me last weekend if my nails were real! 

I wanted to rock bare nails for a while and when i did, i realized how long they had gotten (maybe that's what made them look fake). They didn't look good to me so i clipped & filed them (hadn't done that in about 5 weeks!!!).

Anyway,  I decided to do a french manicure instead and loved the outcome.

I have never rocked a french mani before, i've tried several times but it never looks right so i always end up taking it off immediately am done applying it, but this time round, i had it on all day. 

It may not look like much but for me it was good enough for the day. I love how glossy it looks, like gel nails or something. I simply used clear nail polish and my white stripper nail polish to achieve this.

One other thing i have noticed of late is that my nails are stronger than they were before i started the challenge. They don't break easily and i think this is because of applying nail polish daily...some claim to have nail hardeners, i guess they really do! I always doubted that...thought it was a marketing gimmick!
