Nude Everything: Nails

My obsession with nude nail polish is not a new one, but definitely one that has amplified immensely over the past couple of months. Honestly, I probably have already written something similar to this very post, but I’m going to write this anyway because I cannot seem to get over this trend. Nude nail polish. Nude lipstick. Nude eyeshadow. I’m thinking this would make for perfect content for a mini series.

As for nude nails, it has been all that has been adorning my nails for the past couple of months. No jokes. Every time I try to switch things up with some of my old favourites –a pale pink, a butterscotch or even my supposed all-time favourite, a fire engine red, two days later, I am so annoyed with how my nails look, I wipe it all off for a nude again. There’s something very appealing about how clean and minimalist nude nail polish can look.

The Best Kind of Glitter: Sparkly Nails

 I do enjoy my fair share of glitter. Funnily though, as much as I enjoy the sight of it, now that I think about it, I don't end up buying anything too glittery. Glittery nails, too, are something I like the idea of, but don't find myself wearing all too often. Until I discovered this particular combo. Burgundy. With gold glitter.

 It felt like love. And I think it was.

On My Nails: Maybelline Color Show in Constant Candy

 I think that my taste in nail polish has changed quite a bit in the recent past. I am really loving nudes and almost nudes, subtle pastels, but also the odd dark burgundy for my nails. But one of my all time favourite nail colours to sport is a pale, pale pink. It is white but not white, neutral but not nude, feminine without being too out-there and just over all very pretty. And here the nail polish I've been sporting for most of September.

Product Love: Maybelline Colorshow in Downtown Red

 In my February Favourites I mentioned my love for Maybelline's Color Show nail polish in Downtown Red. And I am not even kidding when I say that this is what has been on my nails pretty much permanently for the past two months. I won't be surprised if I manage to exhaust the entire bottle sometime soon.

This Week: Maybelline Colorshow in Buried Treasure

 Right now, on my nails, I have on Maybelline's Color Show nail polish in Buried Treasure. And it's quite pretty! I like it. It isn't a colour I would typically go for, but when I saw it in the bottle it looked so gorgeous, I had to give it a try. 

This Week: Revlon Red Hot Tamale

 Since I'm all about the festive season, I decided I wanted to do Christmas nails throughout this month. I wrote about my favourite picks of nail polish for this season in my Christmastime Nails post. Revlon's Red Hot Tamale is the first one I mentioned in that post, and turns out, the first one I decided to put on my nails, too.

Christmastime Nails: My Top Five

    It is officially December, and hence, Christmas season, and HENCE my free license to write Christmas related posts. And I'm going to enjoy every minute of it, you can bet on that. So let's kick start the season with Christmas appropriate nails, yeah?

This Week: Revlon Enchanted

 So it's supposed to be 'fall' but unfortunately all we get here is either sickly hot weather or annoying rain. (I CANNOT wait for November) Therefore I decided, why not keep the summer theme on my nails going for a bit longer? And hence, here we are!

This Week: Nail Art For The Messy Girl

 I'm not one to sport fancy nail art, but every now and then I like to try something new. I obviously have my conditions when it comes to this type of thing. Number one, it has to be easy and not time consuming. Number two, the tools used should be simple. And number three, it should look all right even if it's super messy and not uniform at all. 

 So here's what I came up with!

Ready For Spring: Pastel Nails

 I think pastels are so elegant and classy -whether in your clothes, shoes or nails. Anywhere, really. They are bright colours sobered down to sophistication. Which is why I'm going to be sporting them a whole lot this season.
 So here are my top three picks for pastel nail polish.

Ready For Spring: Blue Nail Polish

 My favourite season has gone by, but now it's time for spring. We don't really have a spring out here in Mumbai, so I would say we're at summer already, but let's just call it spring for now.
 Since spring is all about bright colours and the like, I love experimenting with bright nail polish. I'm probably going to venture out into the world of bright lipstick, too, this season. Since I'm not one to wear very colourful clothing, this kind of stuff is really fun.
 So anyway, I decided to share with you guys four blue nail polishes from my collection.

This Week: OPI Big Apple Red

 I've been meaning to try OPI nail polishes from a long time now and I finally got to when this little guy showed up in my Vellvette Box.
 OPI's Big Apple Red is a gorgeous, true red that leans towards cooler tones. I've always been a fan of red nail polish so this excited me quite a bit.

This Week: Faces Nail Polish in Ultramarine Blue

 There was a phase in my life, maybe a year or two ago, where I only wore blue nail polish.Different shades of blue, but blue nonetheless. Then of course I had the black nail polish phase and the bright red nails phase. My most recent was the nude nails phase. I'm still not sure if I'm over that. 

 Now I'm trying to expand my collection to contain a variety of colours. When I saw this blue, I thought back to the time I was all about blue nail polish. And you know what? I'm still a fan.

This Week: Colorbar Nail Polish in Exclusive 25

 I have been on a search for some nice nude nail polish, like I told you guys about before. So along with Colorbar Exclusive 42, I also got Exclusive 25. And I really, really, really like this one.

This Week: Colorbar Nail Polish in 42 Exclusive

 Okay. So I honestly don't know why some of the Colorbar nail polishes have proper names and some have this 'exclusive' with a number. Is there something I should be knowing about here? I'm not sure.
 But anyway, with the winters here I was on the lookout for a really nice nude nail polish, because, believe it or not, I don't own a single nude polish. So when I saw that Colorbar had a nice range of nude-y colours, I went ahead and got this one.
