Feeling (Sinful) Blue

I honestly don't have a reason but I am just feeling blue. Dark blue even. So I picked the most suiting nail polish - Rain Storm by Sinful Colors. At least it would give me a good reason for the blues... But as I applied this polish, I felt it was too heavy and I had to lighten it up some. So I ended up with this mani:

Celiac Awareness Blogger Collaboration

The month of May is Celiac Awareness month. I don't know how much you know of the Celiac disease but I can tell you that it's a lot more then just Gluten allergy. This disease is actually very close to me. It is quite common around me and I have quite a few, family and friends, who deal with this disease. The Celiac is an autoimmune digestive disease that is damaging the ability to absorb much needed nutrients from the food. What happens in Celiac is that every time the body consumes gluten, its causing the body to attack itself and damage the small intestines. People with Celiac are usually in undernourishment condition that is affecting the body in many different ways. It is too often mistakenly diagnosed as simple eating disorder and not treated right until the undernourishment condition becomes a life threaten.
Please do read some more and learn about Celiac. Make sure you are not suffering from it and if you suspect anyone you know is having Celiac, please make sure they go check it properly before it's too late! 
And to raise some more awareness to Celiac, I painted my nails yellow and green.

Pretty Jelly - Plum In Love

How do you choose which nail polish you want to wear? I suppose a lot of you choose the same way I do - by the mood. And I am in the mood for plums. I don't know if it's the weather that hints the very soon arrival of the plums or if i'm just hungry, but I find myself turning to the plum colors again and again recently. So here's another beautiful plum colored holo. This is Pretty Jelly - Plum In Love, and am I in love alright!

Wicked Polish - Black Lung

A rather short post for you tonight as I go to see the final episode of The Vampire Diaries. 
This is Wicked Polish, a new to me brand that I decided to try. I can't say it dropped me off my feet, but it's nice. The polish I have on now is called Black Lung and it's a black and holographic glitter in a black jelly base.

Pretty Jelly - Cat's Eye

Since I don't live in the US, I am not a big fan of polish brands that don't ship internationally. But thankfully, I have some real amazing friends in the US who can "mule" polishes to me sometimes. This is how I managed to put my hands on this lovely polish that I want to show you today. This is Cat's Eye by Pretty Jelly.

Textured Gradient

So I told you already - at first I thought this was a horrible trend. And then I tried it on... and fell in love! So it's clear that I'm going to have to play with the textures around some more! For today I have a textured gradient for you. It's very subtle but I think I like it. I just managed to ruin it with the wrong stamping LOL
