This is such a divine idea!!!

Kalakals of India :)

Kalakals = slang in tamil, translates to something that creates a huge stir.

OMG! Thanks for the lovely words all you lovely people. But honestly, the nail idea is not mine! I used to get these fevicryl newsletters when i won some craft contest at school. I just remembered it from there.. and luckily i had the nails to experiment :)

Hey Shruthi,

Am loving it, roaming around your blog. God, everyone is SO creative. :)
I didn't quite get the concept of Artsy-Craftsy. Do we need to make something and mail it to you? Please to enlighten me. :)

@priya Iyer: Every month we have artsy-craftsy challenges . and there is a theme which every1 has to stick to. You make the craft and mail it to me. there are 3 winners announced each month.
