Candy Blue ~ Silver Tipped Glitter Mani

~ Beware : Pic Heavy Post ~
I am seriously in love with these pretty colors from Lakme Color Crush. Recent purchase from this range is 03, kinda weird that they preferred to go with number codes than catchy names(i love them) nevertheless they have some amazing shades this season. Hope they keep doing this often and satisfy craziness of someone like me *.*
Well its offically summer here in Hyderabad too and the very proof is Mangoes are being sold @90 INR per KG for starters. OMG!! When are we going to hog on those juicy ones with such a kinda price!! Well news is Mangoes this season are going to be very expensive... so if you have someone at village who can get it direct from the farm or the farmer, then do it.. am on that job right now *.*
Rest all is pretty good with me, been busy this long weekend ~ sleeping, eating and catching up with Vampire Diaries, The Secret Circle, new bollywood and tollywood movies, and re-runs of KUWK. Speaking of KUWK, i like Kim and Chloe more... whose your fav???
And the weekend's Mani was more summery this time with Candy Blue nailcolor but more apt for the party/weekend look. Here's Swatches ~



This pretty blue is very sheer with subtle hint of silver shimmer. Very lovely when opaque, which needs atleast 3 coats to go. Other than its sheerness i love this color even plain though i would love to play with it and go more glittery and silver tipped for party/weekend look.
This is 4th color from the Color Crush collection i own, and i must say i am pretty happy with all of them!!




I used some scotch tape strips to create pattern.


This is the Final Look!! *.*





What's that color for stripes?? EN-VY's Simply Smashing 017
And i tipped the nails with EN-VY's Moon Fale, which is a silver color...


Then i used L.A.Colors Color Craze ~ Star Light as glitter coat for thumb and ring finger...


What i Used ~
Base Coat - Avon Nail Experts Smooth Beginnings
Primary Color - Lakme Color Crush 03
Color for Stripes - EN-VY's Simply Smashing 017
Color for tips - EN-VY's Moon Fale 014
Glitter Coat - L.A.Colors Color Craze Star Light
Top Coat - Avon Nail Experts UV Gloss Guard 


Hope you liked!!
Thanks for watching ....

Till next time.....

Today's Mani ~ Silver Burst

Beware ~ Pics heavy Post coming up *.*

While i went to get some other stuff, when i saw the nail colors i had to check'em out. And only recently i realized that 'EN-VY' is manufactured by Fiabila exclusively for 'Health n Glow'. Now why the hell did i miss reading that when i first bought nail colors from EN-VY. Well, that explains why only 'Health n Glow' stores have these nailcolors *.*
Anyways, so i got 4 new nailcolors from EN-VY again, 1 from Lakme Color Crush (its awesome will post pics soon) and 1 from Revlon.
But today am gonna show you 2 of the gorgeous shades i bought from EN-VY.

Here's the swatches first ~



















Pics must have conveyed what i did with the colors. So i will skip the part of the drill where i will go on explaining how to use the scotch tape to get that burst look.

Coming to the nail colors part, Blue my Mind is a pretty color, sort of that peacock color blue but much sober and less bright. Nevertheless it reminds me of the peacock shade and i am sure i never tried this shade before *.*
Its quite transparent, sort of sheer color with a subtle hint of shimmer and yes little streaky. I used 3 coats liberally to get that opaque finish. Brush is long but the bristles not as good as Konad or L'Oreal has. But for the color i will pass that too.

And that Moon Fale is sort of my fav right now. Similar one i have is Sizzling Silver from Avon. Will do the swatches and comparison soon .... More posts coming using 'Moon Fale'

So what do you think?? Do you like 'Blue my Mind' and 'Silver Burst' effect??


Thanks for watching.....
Till next time......
