NOTW - Lilac Nails

 Stop doubting yourself and wear lilac

NOTW - Purple Nails

 Who says festive nails only have to be golden/glittery nails? I've always been drawn to purple and wine shades... This one's no exception. Wearing 2 coats of Tarot from @stayquirky.in holographic range. I've loving the subtle shift between purple and black.

P. S : I don't know why SQ stopped coming up with nail polishes, they had an incredible range at a pocket friendly price.

NOTW - Mauve Nails

 There's something about this colour that I keep circling back to it. My first mauve was from Colorbar when they first launched & were quite affordable. Since then I've picked up several from different brands & finishes. It's still my go-to shade for autumns/winters.

NOTW - Green Nails

 Having spent most of my adult life avoiding green on my nails, I'm baffled with my new found obsession with it. I recently came across this nail polish from shills. It's a gorgeous sap green & is a solid 3 coater. The drying time is quick & I barely gave a minute between coats. Love the shine too. Thoughts? 

NOTW Week 54

 Hey all, finally wearing pastel on my nails for summer. Shade #128 from Tenno Cosmetics is a milky lilac colour & I can't get enough of this shade. Been wearing & rewearing this one from 2 weeks straight. 

I love the formula of these nail paints - they go on smooth with good pigmentation in a single swipe, self-level like a dream & are chip resistant for a good 4 days. The brushes could be a whole lot better though. 

I bought a set of 12 7ml bottles for INR 400 from Flipkart. Totally worth the money. Cheers! 

NOTW Week 53

 

Hey all, I hopped onto the cookie crumble train really late. I was under the impression that these were only available in pastels and you know how I feel about non-colours. Today I'm wearing this gorgeous turquoise green cookie crumble polish from Kalobio. 

I love this polish. It goes on opaque in a single coat & lasts at least 5 days straight without chipping. It has a standard flat round brush. No complaints. 

For some reason there is no mention of any shade number or name anywhere by the brand (must be one heck of a job to take inventory!) A single 11 ml bottle retails for INR 135 but I bought a set of 6 for INR 500 from Meesho 

NOTW Week 49

 

Hey all, I picked up this polish because it looked nice & neon in the bottle. Was I wrong! 

A couple of disclaimers - I had sacrificed 2 nails at the altar of Deepavali deep cleaning, I was mad that someone thought it fit to name this shade Dazzling Red (I mean seriously, this is the 3rd misnamed polish from this brand. Who is responsible for this? + Can I have that job?), I had used 2 polishes from this brand before - 1 good, 1 bad so I probably should have known better eh? 

Anyway, like they say "Hindsight is 20/20". I'm wearing shade S14 Dazzling Red which happens to be orange IRL (go figure!) It is super sheer and I can only use it as a topper. I had to use 4 coats here to get a semblance of colour. It's a beautiful iridescent pale orange with sparse gold glitter & if it were more pigmented would look pretty. As it stands I don't think I'll be reaching out for this one. 

I bought a set of 5 11ml bottles for INR 300 from Flipkart. Stay away, you have been warned. 

NOTW Week 47

 

I know I've been MIA from a while now. It's not that I'm not painting my nails, it's just that life is repeatedly getting in the way. Picking up right where I left.

I'm wearing one coat of #6 Azure Allure from SQ Metallic Lust range. It's a beautiful shimmery teal. I love this polish, it goes on opaque in a single swipe & stays put for at least 5 days. I'm pretty sure I have all the colours from this range in my wishlist. My year long shopping ban (which incidentally is going strong) is the only thing stopping me from buying them.

A single 6ml bottle retails for INR 90 & as always I picked it up @50 % off. Totally worth the money. Cheers.
