Grief.


You can not die of grief, though it feels as if you can. A heart does not actually break, though sometimes your chest aches as if it is breaking. Grief dims with time. It is the way of things. There comes a day when you smile again, and you feel like a traitor. How dare I feel happy. How dare I be glad in a world where my father is no more. And then you cry fresh tears, because you do not miss him as much as you once did, and giving up your grief is another kind of death.”

This post is dedicated to the Delhi gang-rape, the girl who lost her life & started a revolution. Although faceless, she reformed laws, caused protests & the most important of all, she started people thinking. I am nothing but a mere observer. I was not a protester, or a politician but I grieved. We do not know the exact horrors perpetrated, we could all only imagine. 

I was on holiday, yet the news made me sit down. I pored over all the available articles on the internet. I couldn't wrap my head around 'Why?' Rape isn't about sexual experiences, it's about power & domination. There is a fine line between power & domination to pure evil without conscience. 

I can't do anything, I can't bring her back, & I can't help her family. All I can do is remember her & her throughly terrible sacrifice was by flowers. I chose a simple design, something none too complicated.

Butter London Wallis


Hey guys, currently on holiday in Kazakhstan. I have a number of vault posts & I'm finally able to post them. Today I have Butter London's Wallis. 

A gorgeous gold-olive flecked within a darker base, Wallis doesn't disappoint when it comes to color & formula. It applied perfectly & was easy to control. It definitely looks multi-dimensional with multiple layers. I know it's not one of the more original colors but boy does it look pretty on my fingernails! <3

Reddit Challenge Week 11: Glitter


Shine bright like diamonds.

I actually hate these sort of songs, the beats drives my head crazy, but I'll make an exception for this one. I was inspired to do this manicure after a day of crazy crystal growing in the lab. That's not a euphemism for meth either :D  We really did grow crystals, or to be clear, someone else did after we smashed ours with our slide :(

Here's not our crystals.

Anyway I used China Glaze's Glistening Snow as a base, which is the most perfect silver holographic ever. Look at all that fine holo bits! It looks like diamond dust :o Using a brush, I (rather sloppily) painted on the diamond using NailedIt's tutorial. The color used would be Essence Grumpy from the Snow White collection!
