NOTD - DIY Matte Nails (Inspired)

Today's post is a fun mani, of glossy and matte nails..
This DIY is inspired by a youtube video by Michelle Phan.. I loved the video and thought of giving it a go ..
Its a simple and quick DIY, if you are fancying matte nails .. I am hoping you can see the difference in the pics .. I am wearing it glossy on my index finger and ring finger and matte on the others ..

How To 

• Apply the nail polish of your choice
• Boil water in a pot 
• Place your hand over steam for a couple of mins while your polish is still wet 
• That's it, your polish should dry matte :)
  
  Hope you liked the post .. Do you like Matte Nails or glossy ?  

NOTD - Ulta3 Nail polish in 'Black Satin'

Today I have a mani post in Ulta3 'Black Satin'. I was never drawn towards black nail polishes, I liked them on others, but somehow I never wanted to try them on me, finally I gave in and I must say I am totally in love. I find black nail polish as powerful and sexy as red, am just loving them right now :). 

Anyways, Ulta3 'Black Satin' is  a classic black. Ulta3 polishes are smooth in applying, they have great texture and are really affordable, so what's not to love. This is two coats and a top coat. I have done an accent nail in Sportsgirl 100s and 1000s. I have previously done a dotty manicure with Ulta3 polishes, check HERE. 

Have you tried Ulta3? Do you like wearing black on your nails?
