NOTD- Streetwear Mini - Rosey Glow

Hello All,

I am back with another NOT D.. I had been eyeing on these cute little bottles for a long time, but never bought any because I am not a big fan of Street wear nail polishes.. I liked their old ones, but I was not totally impressed with their new range...

I had picked up a few nail paints from this range and I must tell you, they are good in terms of their color payoff, consistency and lasting power.. I think I may be getting a lot from this range in the future.. I had purchased close to 7 nail polishes this time, mainly because its dirt cheap.. One bottle comes for Rs. 45, which means its cheaper than Elle 18.

Today I would be reviewing a beautiful rosy shade from this range - Rosey Shine..



Shade 28 - Rosey Glow

It's a beautiful Rosey pink shade that would all skin tones..


This is how it looks on my nails.

Another one on my nails..

Why do I like this Nail Polish:

  1. It gives a creamy finish, I love creamy nail polishes
  2. The color payoff - One coat almost shows the actual color
  3.  It stays for almost 3-4 days without chipping, I don't care much about this point because I change my nail polish often
  4. The nail has the "Just Right" consistency, it neither to runny nor too thick. I think its just for this shade, because I found the other shades to be very thin and runny and may need 3-4 coats to get the correct shade.
  5. It's super affordable - It's a steal at Rs. 45
Why don't like about the polish.

  1. Might take a while to dry.
  2. I found my nails a little bit stained, that may be because I didn't do a manicure for a long time and neither did I apply a base coat - I think we can give it benefit of doubt!!!!

Overall, I like the nail polish and the range.. Will be back with a new review soon..

Cheers,

NAIL ART TIME

Hello All,

It’s  nail art time!!!!!

I was just a nail polish fan wherein I would paint my nails  with different colors from different brands. To me all nail paints are nearly the same and I don’t really care if its MAC or INGLOT or  a local one from a grocery store. Mainly because I don't keep nail polish on my nails for more than 2-3 days

I have sturdy unruly cuticles , I think I will have pay a visit to a salon to get a professional manicure – I never get a manicure done at a salon.. But I think I have gotten too lazy that I just remove the old nail polish and carry on with the new color ( These days it’s the “ART”)

I had tried 3 nail arts in 7 days… I overdo things if I am too excited about something.. Can there be a better example? LOL!!!

The next few posts on this blog would be about my new / reinvented craze. a.k.a “Nail Art” ;)

This was one random flowery nail art that I had  tried… I had bought blues, yellows, oranges and greens but I cannot wear it for daily use… So thought of mixing and matching these shades….

This was the first ever nail art that I tried.. Was a little messy here and there but came out well… And yeah…  Received so many compliments from friends and colleagues 

I had used Elle 18 nail pops in colors Turquoise Blue, Orange and Yellow..



The next one was beetle inspired nail art… I had used Lakme’s red shade – I don’t know the shade names or numbers because, I peel the top sticker which has the product and info and paint the top portion of the lid so that it’s easier to pick the nail colors without any confusion..

I had painted my entire nail with red, made black French tips and white polka dots on the tips… Some pics for you 



The last one was a simpler one.. I painted my nails black and made kept dots in a flowery fashion..



I used the nail art pen for the dots instead of the dotting tool... Like I mentioned earlier, please ignore my unruly cuticles :)


 I did the same pattern on my toes as well.. Didn't click pics of my big big toes :


Hope you like the posts here… Please use the comments section to let me know what you think about these posts.. It means a lot to a budding blogger…
