Colorbar Exclusive 15 and 56

Colorbar nail polishes are my favourite when it comes to Indian brands. They are of great quality- they are chip resistant, apply smoothly, don't bubble(unlike many Indian brands) and dry to a glossy finish. Colorbar also has a reasonably huge selection of colours available.


Here I'm wearing three thin coats of Colorbar Exclusive 15(Mint). It's not exactly a mint shade, more of a light jade. Like all other polishes from Colorbar, the application was a breeze :) 
While the color is pretty by itself, I was in the mood for some sparkle. So I added a thin coat of Colorbar Exclusive 56, which is a silver sparkle topcoat. I loved how it looked on Mint.

Gradient Stripes

Today I have for you another freehand nail art manicure using Born Pretty acrylic paints. This was a quick and simple one. A pale mint base with diagonal gradient green stripes, topped off with two thin coats of topcoat.

Blue Blossoms

Here is a manicure that I recently did for my mum. I used a nude base with subtle shimmer, and painted blue flowers using the acrylic paints from Born Pretty. I absolutely love these paints, they are so smooth and saturated. 

It was a quick manicure, which turned out better than I had hoped, and prefect for the season IMO. The design is not over-the-top, but people are bound to notice it. Mum got a lot of compliments on this one :)
