I wanted to get this up yesterday but it was family vacation weekend and I got home only in the wee hours of last night so I'm posting today! If you've been a reader of my blog for a long time, you will know I love bright colours, neons even! Especially on my nails. But now and again I like going against my personality traits just to mix it up and put in a pastel here and there.
Truthfully, I have all of 3 pastel colours, probably more if I really search but otherwise I stand by three. So, I thought I'll show them to you one by one.. So here's the first one, a very NOT me, pastel pink. But then, one can't change too much, so here it is with a few coats of NYX's Multi Glitter (which btw is a great dupe for
Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday.)

Elle 18 no.48 on its own. |
I like Elle 18 polishes! They're cheap at only 50 INR, I can try out colours that I wouldn't buy otherwise. The quality isn't the best though, they will chip around day 2-3.
