Black and White Lace

I wanted to try a stamp on just a base coat for while now, and this looked like the perfect way to do it. What do you think?

Done with Konad's Special Polish in white and black.

I used Sally Hansen's Diamond Base Coat, which I absolutely love, and Seche Vite Top Coat.

I wore this to work and someone asked me "What is wrong with your nails?" Which kinda sucked. XD

Nail Foils Collection and Descriptions - Miscellaneous Foils

This is the final post for my nail foils collection. There has been a lot to go through so I am kind of thankful that I've gotten to the end. All of these foils were purchased by me from Dollar Nail Art. In this post I will be showing you product photos, close up images and brief descriptions of each of the nail foils based on what I think they look like.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

 Black Raven:

Black Raven is a glossy black foil. There is no pattern to it at all, it is ust solid colour.

 Camouflage:

Camouflage is a matte foil which is made up of grey, khaki and green blocks of colour. The pattern of this is sort of like an 8bit version of the camouflage that army officers wear, fairly interesting.

 Champagne:

Like the name Suggests, Champagne is a matte creamy gold colour. It didn't fit in with the gold shades so I just decided to add it to this lot.

 Opal Glitter:

Opal Glitter is a transparent foil with a dot pattern over it. The dots that cover the entire length of the foil reflect a rainbow holographic depending on how the light hits it. As this foil is transparent, it can be applied over any base and create interesting designs thus making it very versatile.

 Opal Swirl:

Like Opal Glitter, Opal Swirl is a transparent foil. The pattern on this foil is similar to that of water ripples which reflect a rainbow holographic design depending on how the light hits it. Like Opal Glitter, this foil is very versatile and can be used over any nail polish base. I tried it out over a black base and it looked like an oil slick, so awesome!

 Snake Skin:

Snake Skin is exactly what the name suggests. This foil is semi-transparent with a black and grey snake skin pattern to it. Like the previous two foils, it can be applied over any coloured base to create an interesting design. This is probably my favorite foil of them all!

 White Marble:
Another foil that is exactly what its name suggests, White Marble is a white based foil with a soft brown marble veining through it. It isn't really that impressive as it reminds me of floor tiles, not something I'd really want on my nails lol.

Maybelline shadow stylist- Review and swatches

Hi lovely ladies,



The year is coming to an end. So what are your New Year resolutions for 2011? I haven't made any because I know that I'll never follow them. he he!! Anyways wish everyone all the best for an amazing New Year!!! Enjoy<3



So today I'm reviewing Maybelline Shadow Stylist loose powder 620 Contemporary white.



I bought it on my trip to Delhi. I wanted some unique product for my eyes, when i saw this the bell rang in my mind. I love silver shade and always look for it in different brands so without wasting my time I bought it.





The Maybelline Shadow Stylist is loose powder eye shadow in a bottle with a sponge tip applicator. I bought it in white pearl shade, the price of this product is Rs 325.





Directions for use:



* Shake package. Tap off excess powder.

* Use the unique sponge tip applicator to apply one layer to your eyelids for a basic look.

* Apply more pressure during application for more color and intensity.

* To further intensify the look, add lighter shades to highlight and darker shades to contour your eyes.



Why I love this product:



It is unique in many ways.



The packaging is lovely like a nail polish or eyeliner and is very cute.



Very easy to keep it in my purse or vanity case. Very comfortable in applying on my lids.



One coat is enough for getting a natural pearl shade.



Amazing blending by its applicator. After one coat, my lids look bright and even. It can be applied on the brow bone for highlighting.



It evens out my lid colour.



It can be mixed with other dark shades too to create a party style look.

.

This shimmer shadow so beautifully decorates the eyes with it's shimmery effect.



Glides on so easily and covers the whole of the lid in 1 or 2 swipes...Isn't that amazing! I've used many Maybelline shadows and none of them were very pigmented or shimmery but this loose powder is really amazing. Well done Maybelline:))



I'll surely get some other shades too like black, green, brown, blue etc.



Cons-



The quantity is really less.



Here is the swatch. Only 2 swipes without any base-





Anyways it is a lovely product so I'm satisfied.



So ladies hope you liked this product because I surely did! Have you tried any other shades? What do you think?
