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.

Top 5 under 100

 Not something I post about usually but who doesn't like a good deal? 

Insight Eyeshadow Base Primer 

INR 99 for 7 gm

I always used concealer as a base from the beginning of time. Remember the mad craze for Painterly Paint Pot from MAC? Been there, done that. I only picked this up on a whim (because it was so affordable) & because I could feel the side eye from Robert Welsh. 

The texture is exactly like L'Oréal Base Magique Primer and this one makes my eye makeup last longer. Even with oily lids & hot weather. Winner! 

Insight Multi-Use Loose Eyeshadow #05 Gemstone 

INR 125 for 7 gm

OK, this one goes slightly over the 100 mark but its always on sale around 99 bucks. This one's amazing. You can use it as eyeshadow or liner. Some of the other paler shades can even be used as highlighter. How is this brand doing it? 

Beromt Super Stay Matte Mini in Sexy Secretary

INR 150 for 1.6 ml (available on their website for INR 99)

When they say mini, they truly mean mini. But I'm not complaining. As someone who has never finished a lipstick, ever; this feels like I can actually finish using it up. The formula is ultra matte but it doesn't feel drying on the lips & it's insanely pigmented. For some reason the brand describes this colour as peach nude while it's a brown based red IRL. 

P. S : You will be saving on shipping if you buy from their website. The base price seems to be lower as well. 

Beromt Holo Chunky Nail Polish Topper

INR 50 for 1.5 ml  (available for INR 30 on their website) 

I love toppers of any kind & these offer something new. It comes with colour shifting chunky holo glitter in translucent polish. I love how the glitter lies flat on nails despite it's size. The quantity could have been more (seriously 1.5 ml reads like eye makeup quantity) but it's good for the price. 

NY Bae Erasin' Nail Lacquer Remover Pads

INR 99 for 30 pads (please pick up on BOGO) 

Wow, oh wow. I have used nail polish remover pads in the past with terrible results. This one is amazing though. Not only does it remove nail polish in a jiffy it also leaves your nail & nail bed area super moisturised. This was a total life saver on a recent trip. 

What are your go to affordable products? 

NOTW Week 48

Hey all, Beromt makes some of the most innovative and affordable nail polishes. I'm wearing one coat of 7007 Black Cloacked (which is a black nail polish that goes opaque in a single coat) topped by a coat of 902 Unicorn Horn. It's a stunning dual chrome flakie nail polish with green, blue and purple coloured flakies. The colour shifts from green to purple/blue. Depending on the base colour the flakies change colour & sometimes are not visible. I have tried these with various bases but I feel these pop best with black. 

I love the fact that these are of super thin consistency & even the flakies are super slim. You can easily build up the flakies by sponge dabbing without any chunkiness. 

A full set with a black polish and 3 flakie toppers of 8 ml each retail for INR 500 + shipping. You can buy from Amazon or Beromt.
