NOTW - Grey Nails

 A bit of a palette cleanser. I'm wearing 2 coats of this neutral grey cookie crumble nail polish today. I think it looks super chic without trying too hard.



After an overdose of pink I wanted something neutral and subtle. What say you? Yay or nay?

NOTW - Pink Nails

 Hey all, this week I'm wearing several coats of essence Pink ventures nail paint. It's a gorgeous baby pink jelly with holographic flakies. I love how sparkly this is and can't stop staring every time the light hits my nails.



The brand claims that the formula is clean, climate neutral, vegan, paraben and alcohol free. They also claim to give a gel like, extreme shine finish which dries in 40 seconds flat. I have to agree with the fast drying nature. I could layer my coats faster. It also does last forever (in nail polish terms) I had this on for over a week with no chipping and minimal fading. The best part for me is that it comes with a patented broad "double touch" brush which glides smoothly. In my honest opinion the brush is way more important than the polish. And any brand that gives importance to the brush automatically makes it to Hero status with me.



Removing this was a nightmare and a half. Now I have used many different textured polishes but this is a different beast altogether. After several unsuccessful attempts I finally went in with pure acetone. Even then it took me more than 20 minutes! You have been warned.

NOTW - Textured Bronze Nails

Hey all, I've been obsessed with textured polishes of late & decided to go with this beautiful bronze one this week. I'm wearing shade 606 Orange from Beromt's Sand Art nail polish range. It looked orange on the website but it's actually a bronze IRL. The polish goes on easily and you only need 1 coat to get full coverage & opacity. It dries to a matte finish in under a minute & stays put for at least 4 days. In my experience, textured polishes tend to chip at the end of day 1 & I'm pleasantly surprised with the lasting power of these ones.



The polish comes with a standard flat round brush & claims to be free of formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, DBP, camphor, lead, paraben, xylene & ethyl tosylamide. It's also a cruelty free brand.



P. S : This counts as a neutral in my book.

NOTW - Chocolate Day Nails

 Everyday is a day apparently! Happy Chocolate Day.



Hey all, wearing the cheapest polish I own. It's from spar supermarket's in house range. The polish goes on opaque in a single coat but the brush could be better. Also ignore the indentations on my nails. I went to sleep immediately after painting. πŸ’€πŸ’€

❄️ Smooth in application & settles into a matte finish after 2 minutes. 



❄️ Awesome pigmentation in single swipe and it obviously can be built up. 

❄️ Doesn't settle into lines as it has a non-feathering formula.
