I have a question for you , do get angry on yourself for not being able to do something that you wanted to?
Well, I did finally when I summed up the amount I spent while being on a nebulous shopping ban!

I ended up spending ten times of what I had thought I would spend during this period.
so I am finally doing a post to mark my first day of the rock solid official shopping ban!

My first review on something that smell delicious! read on to know what that is !

There are times when we get very excited about a certain thing ,and we need to do it. Especially what we like.
I am a person who when wants to have something , I have to get it some way and especially when I had been expecting that it would happen.

This happened on The night of Dhanteras that in my hostel many of my batch mates were applying mehendi on their hands and the girl who was applying it , does it exceptionally well. So when I asked her will she be able to do it, unfortunately she turned me down. But for a valid reason, she was tired cause she had applied mehendi on 3 person's hands.

I was a little sad cause I wanted to apply mehendi too, and that too after a very long time. So I thought why not give it a try by myself.
And it didn't turn out to be very bad! and like I share everything I do, I am sharing the designs with you. Hope you like it.

And also some ways to darken the color of your mehendi.

So first the pictures.

Easy mehendi design

I am extremely happy to tell you all that my blog has a new address now !!

I had been planning for a long time and when this happened I was on cloud nine!

Well all of this happened because of  the support from my family and my desire to do what I like to.

Because of a dream.




For that same reason I made a wallpaper for my self which has been on my laptop for a three days now.

And I wanted to share this wallpaper with everyone and say that never stop dreaming.

And when you are dreaming why not dream of something big, something different.  But to do that you must be fearless and confident!

So , download the wallpaper ,read it and keep pushing yourself.


Hope you would like it.

Do comment what you think about it.

It has been a long time since I have posted my last craft tutorial!

Hello everyone

On the last day of college ,before the Durga Puja vacations, I got my hands on this Nail Color, Which I had ordered two weeks before this day along with one more color.
I thought of reviewing this color because I suddenly fell in love with this color when I saw the outcome.

And like I say do not loose any opportunity of celebrating your sweet relationships , Don't loose this one !

Hi Everyone!!
My name is Valerie Wilson and I am just a normal girl who loves to do nail art.  I have only been doing nail art for less than a year and only my own nails and sometimes one of my girlfriends nails.  I have no formal training in nail art or have taken any art classes. 
This is my hobby and I just practice, practice, practice!!! 
 
I have a Google+ page and Facebook page called NailArtsy.  I am in the process of putting together a great community for everyone to show off their art in, get some inspiration from and make some friends.  The website will be www.nailartsy.com 
Please follow me on Google+ or Facebook for all my new designs and updates.
I was thrilled when Priyanjana asked me if I would do a guest post on her blog.  I thought what a perfect time to give you guys some tips and tricks that I have learned along my nail art learning journey.

My first tip would be to use Acrylic paints for your art.  I like to use acrylic paints for a few reasons.  I find they can be easier to work with than nail polish and can be easily thinned out with just a drop of water if they are too thick.  They are very inexpensive, (I buy mine from walmart for $.56 cents each).  When I first started out I bought all the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, purple, and black and white) They cost me about $5 total and I can make any shade of color just by mixing them.  And my favorite and the best part about using acrylic paints is if you mess up a design, you can use alcohol to remove the design and start over WITHOUT ruining you base polish. When you are happy with your design, a clear top coat will seal in your design.
I use a plastic top from a butter container as a palate for my acrylic paints, but a pie plate or a ziplock baggie or anything you have around the house will work even a piece of paper folded, at least in half, so it doesn’t bleed through and make a mess of your table will work.


Nail art tools can be anything you have around the house. Toothpicks, bobby pins, a pen or pencil make great dotting tools. Makeup brushes make great nail art brushes too, don’t be afraid to cut any brush to make them smaller and/or thinner to get the desired size. Have an old liquid eyeliner that has dried up and that are gonna toss…. Wash the brush, it makes a great detail brush.  You can make a striper brush by cutting an old polish brush, just remember to save and wash out the bottle so you can put it back in the bottle when dry to protect your precious bristles so they stay straight.

And lastly, Try to have all your supplies on the table and ready to go.  I always include a few cotton balls, q-tips, a paper towel or napkin and a small shallow container of water and your Acetone or nail polish remover (I usually pour some in the cap so its there and ready for me to use) to rinse my brush and also for cleanup.

Since Halloween is right around the corner - Here are some Halloween designs that are super simple to do.  You don’t need any special nail art tools for any of these designs.  All I used for these designs is just a toothpick.

I did a step by step photo strip of each design to make it easier for you to see how I created them.  Have fun!!!

Eyes

Skull

Pumpkin

Candy Corn

Frankenstein

Cat

All the designs designs were done with just a single base color polish and acrylic paint for the art EXCEPT the Candy Corn.  The Candy Corn was done using 3 different color polishes layered as shown.

Tragedies

The guardian angels by Rohit Gore , is filled with them.

Well I don't ! because this beautiful and absolutely stunning ring with the stunning blue stone set in a silver frame is what I bought and I couldn't control anymore and finally (I have controlled many times before this one) gave up !

I just couldn't believe that it had tiny golden specks in it ! And the stone is all natural

As women we want our skin to be clear , healthy and glowing.

But what most people ignore is the fact that  until and unless our skin is healthy and clear from within our body it will never be glowing.

And that by indiscriminately slathering expensive body lotion etc won't make any difference , if your body is not getting proper nutrients.

Everything said and done in our busy lives these days we mostly forget to take care of our diet.

The undermentioned are a few foods and supplements which can be always consumed on the go and easily available everywhere nowadays. The list for this is very long but to summarize the goodness these are more than enough.

After my last nail art , which was a golden and red.
The glitters were all golden !

so this time I thought of doing a little bit of a monochromatic nail art !

And then ,This silver and black color block nail art came up in my mind !
I thought of doing the color blocking horizontally but then settled on the diagonal blocking and I loved it !

so here are some pics 

Black and silver color block nails

It's raining and raining and raining here in Kolkata!!
More than half of the city is flooded!
Continuously !

The days are so gloomy and  drab that I needed my share of fun and colors!
And I had both today! I thought of refashioning an old and faded bangle !
