PAINT IT OR KEEP IT FRENCH?

LIFE IS NOT PERFECT BUT YOUR NAILS CAN BE!

..

In this blog post, I am taking you to the most interesting comparison or opinionated nail theory regarding your nails. A million-dollar question is whether you want to keep them painted sophisticatedly or you want to go elegant by doing a French manicure. The debate is endless and so are the discussions. But to each his own, if you ask me I totally go with the time and occasion or probably season to carry one out of the two. But here I am going to compare both of these nail trends which I was eyeing to do for so long.

The difference between the polished and scruffy is in the way you paint your nails. Do try both of these looks this summer.

But before moving so we have to keep a few things in mind :

a) Exfoliate your hands and nails before applying nail polish.

b) Remove all traces of old polish and clean dry your hands.

c) Oil in nails can deter polish from being applied evenly.

d) Using a basecoat strengthens the nail. Some products help even out any imperfections or dips in the mail.

e) Nail polish peels off faster if you don’t dry each coat completely before applying a new coat.

f) If your nails have ridges use a ridge filler.

g) Taking Vit-B supplements regularly helps strengthen nails.

Let’s start with :

PAINTED SOPHISTICATION

  1. Apply a base coat to your nails. let it dry completely.
  2. Dip the brush in the nail polish coat it completely, then wipe the brush on the inside edge of the bottle to remove any excess paint.
  3. Apply with the brush starting from the cuticle edge to the tip in a single sweep, positioning the brush to the center of the nail.
  4. Now apply the next stroke in a similar way to the left of the earlier stroke and then similarly on the right, doing this till you paint the entire nail. Then apply second coat.
  5. Finish it off with clear polish and let it dry completely.

PS: Move the bottle gently in between your palms instead of shaking it vigorously before applying, as it may cause air bubbles.

FRENCH ELEGANCE

  1. Apply a base coat to your nail. Let it dry completely.
  2. Now place a tip guide on your nail that covers the bottom part of your nail and help you get a clear white tip.
  3. Use white polish to paint the tips of your nail in a clean motion, following the curve of your nail or painting straight if you want a sqaure tip. Let it dry.
  4. Now use a sheer or clear pink nail paint and paint over the whole nail from cuticle to to tip, following the instructions as mentioned in the single colour, let it dry and apply a second coat.
  5. Finish off with a coat of clear polish over the entire nail and let it dry completely.

PS: A clear polish gives your nails a proper finish. Applying a clear polish every couple of days will also make your french manicure last longer.

So above are a few steps to do the nail of your own like and kind. If you personally ask me I will definitely keep occasion or season in mind to actually nail this nail look. Hope you guys can try these simple steps to see how your nails come out to be. For painted nails, you can opt for any colour of your choice and for French Manicured nails at home you can buy a kit with everything inside it all you have to do is just follow the instructions.

So enjoy beautiful nails and Take care!

Stay safe! Stay Healthy!

GREEN LOVE

VERDANT LOVE -XOXO

When you are green, you are growing!!

The world needs greener and greener, there is no doubt in every single word of the quote I mentioned above. Green is everything. As much as the world remains green so are our lives. What I feel is, the world needs to grow green as soon as possible. I know people all over already started a green lifestyle, they are going organic whether in food or clothing, and they are opting for more natural things rather than virtual, yes slowly and gradually things will change but of course, we have to take steps for that.

But today I am not discussing statistical things, rather I am talking about the colour as in fashion. Verdant love-Verdant is derived from the Old French word for “green,” vert, which in turn is from Latin virērē,  meaning “to be green. The colour green is a most integral part of the spectrum which lies between blue and yellow, also you can see how nature plays with colours by keeping sky blue and sunshine yellow which directly creates a vast canvas of green pastures, land and forests. So, nature also justifies the importance of green.

Green is life. Green is everywhere. Not only in our nature but also in our lifestyle, health and of-course fashion. I am a green tea lover and I do live on it for years it is the biggest source of immunity booster and good for your overall health.

If talk about lifestyle, we all love to keep our houses breathable by decorating them with beautiful plants, small plants, big plants, beautiful big gardens or succulents in every room. Any way we love to show our love towards the green to let green prevail.

Even fashion industries all over the world never fail to display green colour on runways every year. No runway is complete without a splash of it. Green brings life, its ultimate stylish colour to wear and soothing to your eye. There are many green shades such as Olive green, Mint green, Pea green, Military green, Sacramento green and Neon green. You can play along with this colour any which way you like, extremely sporty and versatile shade. You can try it on with all the refreshed spins with this single colour.

In this post, I am going to share a few green picks which I recently bought and of course, they are my personal favourite. So I am going to share them today with all of you. Here are my green must-haves for the season:

CASHMERE LIME GREEN HEADBAND AND MATCHING CROP SWEATER

Oh, I love this pair of headbands and cropped sweaters from Stradivarius, a brand from Spain. I bought this when I was in Italy last year(2018). Lime green colour and cashmere softness make it more exciting to wear. Lime green gives it a casual and sporty look while its softness makes it soberer being extremely bright in colour. I just love wearing this pair and teaming it up with black (ultimate combine with Lime green) whenever I have to go for a casual hangout.

SACRAMENTO GREEN COLOURED CROPPED SWEATSHIRT

This Sacramento green-coloured cropped sweatshirt from one of my favourite brands Zara is one of the most economical and quick buys. This is so comfortable and casual with warm lining inside, which. makes it perfect for a sunny winter afternoon with a layering jacket over it.

LIP GLOSS AND HAND CREAM

This awesomely beautiful packaging of lip gloss and hand cream from Bath and Body works with a Vanilla Bean flavour is something which is not to be missed in this weather. Not to mention this vanilla-infused lip gloss and hand cream with extraordinary fragrance is so handy that you can keep it with you anywhere, any time. Bath and body work products are nothing but a powerhouse of fragrances and these two are one of them. Must try its hand cream and awesome flavoured lip glosses. Truly recommended.

MINT GREEN NAIL PAINT

This mint green nail colouring matte shade from Claire’s is another beauty item, which I couldn’t resist buying. I love its mint matte shade, So trendy and chic!!! Looks too good when your nails are a bit longer, mine are not long enough though. But still, I want to give it a try. Check out this rocking colour this winter season.

BEANIE

This green military colour beanie from H&M is another must-have for this season. I usually don’t go out without a beanie especially when it’s windy. It’s very important to keep your ear and head covered. This beanie is so comfy from the inside and nicely knitted from the outside as well as it’s super warm. I usually love the concept of comfy and stylish clothing, whether it is an accessory or a garment. I am loving it!!

CUTE MAKEUP PALETTE

This cute, little and handy miniature makeup palette from Claire’s is a must-buy in my opinion, in this, you can get beautiful shades of eyeshadows and sweet bright tints with a little mirror inside to adjust the look. Look how fab it looks!!! This also included shimmer eyeshadow which is one of my favourites.

PAIR OF SOCKS

I bought these nice pair of green butterfly-printed socks from A Country Mile (gift shop). Actually, I am in love with the butterfly print on these socks in bright green colour. A true example of comfy, warm and creative, I just love them.

WOOL YARN

Now this pine-coloured satin sparkled wool yarn from Bernat which I bought from Walmart is a random pick, I was not planning any knitting but its texture and colour are so amazing that I couldn’t resist buying it, I am soon planning to knit a nice small stole out of it. Let’s see if I can nail it or not.

CASHMERE PULLOVER

And lastly, this is something I will cherish to keep in my wardrobe forever. This one is from H&M, I just love this forest green hi-low stylish and chic pullover, which is not extremely warm and comfy but also very in. I took it one size bigger so that I can combine it with a turtleneck and can keep myself warm and stylish this winter season. A must-buy.

So guys if you are planning a shopping this winter, of course, you are !!! As Christmas is around the corner, do buy one green item, whatever it may be, and try to add a little green to your wardrobes as well as your lives too. I would love it if you share your green buys in my comment box.

Thank you for reading my post!

Go green – Love Green
