I have a collection of outdated nail-colours!! I looked at them and wondered when they will empty out if I don't use them!!
So I chose a green colour and painted it but I coated over it thrice, so it took a lot of time to dry! It got wrinkles here and there because I was moving my hands around! So I took blue colour and did some random design!!!
Do you also use nail-polish? And what's your favourite brand or colours??

I had to throw away a bunch because they had hardened and I couldn't even open them. Very few were left, such as the blue in the photo. I painted my nails last Sunday, I added some polish nail remover to make the paint smoother so it took about two or three coats as well. It was cheap and I can tell it's old too, but it got the job done I guess.
I'd like to get more artsy but I need black, I don't know when I'm going to buy it.

@anya12adwi You think so? Thank you! 
Yes, this blue is quite metallic and not great for nail art, I suppose. However, I read I can also use acrylics for nail design as long as I add a transparent coat on top once I'm done. So once I get black and a top coat, I might try to do something with acrylics.

@somewitch Yes, only the concern with nail arts is that they won't last long if you are actively doing house chores!!

@anya12adwi I do not think that a man should not wear nail polish. They do to express themselves.

@Shavkat Don't know much about Philippine men but here they do not unless they are in beauty industry! So that's why asked! I know Korean and Americans do!

I like a clear polish as I have trouble keeping nail polish on my fingers.

Wow that's a beautiful nail art indeed. A salon would charge well over 300Rs for that ig(haven't been to nail salons particularly)
