Bollywood nails

Yesterday I decided to venture outside my safety zone (nailwise) for a new gradient creation. At first I picked some easy grey ones, but nehhh, too dark and too gloomy. So I went all the way with a Zoya Richelle as the base, sponged it with Sally Hansens Honeymoon Red and at the base Sally Hansen Black Diamond. Remember when I in a recent post said I don't like Zoya NPs (or they don't like me), not like like cause I think they are drop dead gorgeous, but on me they refuse to dry in acceptable time. The same happened now, even after 15 min the first layer of Rochelle was still kind of chewy and scrounged up. So I absolutely drenched it in Seche Vite and after 5 min or so, I could sponge the second layer. Needless to say - I went over the finished layers with a one more thick layer of SV.

Picture taken under the kitchen fan ;-o therefor the strange light.

I must say I was and still is, mighty pleased with the outcome, but of course I wanted som decorations. If I would be so ever lucky to win Lillasysters fantastic competition where you can win this:

And this:

Just imagine how creative I could get? Drawing lines would all of the sudden become a piece of cake :-) And dots...and....

So I made do with the glittery beads I bought at Weralena, matching the colors to the NPs and la voilá - Swedish nails Bollywood style. Soooo - what daya think?
