Maybelline Color Show Bright Matte Nail Paint range includes all the bright colors for your nails such as Blazing Orange, Peppy Pink, Fiery Fuschia, Cheerful Coral, Lively Rose & Brilliant Rose. I am going to talk about Brilliant Red from the range which is a beautiful, bright and bold red shade from the range. I am sure you are going to like it as much as I liked it. Maybelline Color Show Bright Mattes Nail Paint Maybelline brought beautiful bright shades for your nails in matte finish. The range is inspired by the bright trends of New York. The six shades from the range are highly pigmented and super long lasting on your nails. The beautiful bright shade in matte texture really enhance the beauty of your nails. Price Rs. 175 for 6ml. Buy here. Packaging The matte nail paint comes in a transparent but frosty small glass bottle having a black long cap cum applicator at it’s mouth. The cap has fabulous bright colored graphics with Bright Mattes printed in bold. The shade name is also printed at the top of the cap. The brush applicator is very nice and handy to apply the shade on the nails. It gives enough coverage to my nails. I need two swipes of the brush side by side to cover my nails. I actually had an issue with SUGAR Tic Tac Toe nail paint brush, since they are too wide that, while going side by side during application, the second swipe always messes my first coat. Shades Available The range offers six brilliant bright bold shades – Blazing Orange, Peppy Pink, Fiery Fuschia, Cheerful Coral, Lively Rose & Brilliant Rose. Shade – Brilliant Red It is a beautiful tomato red shade. The color is bright but since the texture is matte, it goes bit muted sometimes depending upon the light conditions. But it is suitable for all skin tones. It can work as an everyday shade too since it is matte. Fragrance & Texture It has that acetone smell to it. You just can’t escape that for sure. The pungent smell stays on my nails for some time after, like for half an hour depending upon how frequently I wash my hands. Texture of the nail paint is quite runny. It is easy to take out the product since there are no clumps in the consistency. It goes smoothly on my nails and dries off as quickly as I apply it which implies the formula is quick dry. I do not have to wait for another coat which I rarely go for. Pigmentation & Finish It is highly pigmented nail paint. I would not say it is as pigmented as SUGAR Tic Tac Toe range (the range really sets a standard… doesn’t it?) . Enough pigmented to give an opaque finish in just one swipe unlike Lotus Herbals nail enamels . I hardly ever go for a second coat. The finish of the nail paint is obviously matte. Plain matte. Just my type of matte. In case you are more into shiny shades, swiping a top coat of transparent nail shade will definitely work for you. Longevity Stays about a week and there are few tears and bit of chipping since I need to perform household duties. I feel at this price, the quality & longevity of the nail paint is really awesome. I really adore this cute little pot of red matte nail paint. It really is gorgeous. It does not look really loud on my nails and goes with my skin tone. It is affordable & easily available. I really recommend this shade and this range if you are looking for matte nail paints. I just wish Maybelline brings more matte shades specially some blues & teals. Maybelline Color Show Bright Mattes ❤❤❤❤❤ Brilliant Red ❤❤❤❤❤ Did the nail paint appeal to you? What finish do you prefer for a nail paint? Glossy/shiny/matte? Waiting for you lovely comments please. Love.

Maybelline Color Show Nail Enamel Ladies Night 006 : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 09:21:18 +0000

Hi Girls, Maybelline Color Show Nail Enamel is a budget friendly and colorful range for your nails. The range is Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free. It’s been around for a long time. the range gets juicier every season. Recently Maybelline introduced Matte shades in the already existing colors. I shall talk about the matte range some other time. Today I am going to write about a quirky shade from the range – Ladies Night. It is a pretty bold shade for night outs & high time. I like to wear it for some extra oomph factor. Hope you too like it. The range is pretty fabulous considering the shade variants & colors and not to forget the different textures available in the range. You can find nail polish, nail color, nail lacquer, mattes, shiny colors, glitter and what not. The glitter range did not really impress me with the pigmentation, but other variants are pretty good considering the price range. Price Rs. 110 for 6ml. Buy here at discounted price. Packaging Maybelline Color Show Nail Enamel comes packed in small cylindrical pots with black cap & applicator brush at the top. The packaging is quite prone to breakage if accidentally dropped on the floor. I already broke 2 shades from the range without even wearing them once on my nails. The applicator is thin but efficient, I like it since it makes it easy to apply the color on my not so wide nails. Shade – Ladies Night 006 This is a beautiful electric blue shade. It is bright & bold. It is full of shine and looks very glamorous on my nails. The fabulous shade is perfect for night puts & parties. Fragrance & Texture The nail paint is very runny. It drips if taken in excess. I wipe of the extra paint against the mouth of the bottle. Fragrance in a nail paint can not be avoided. This too smells heavily of acetone, which stays on nails after application for about half an hour or so. Pigmentation The pigmentation of the nail enamel is actually impressive. Even though it is runny but it is not thin in color. It gives nice opaque finish to the nail in the very first stroke. Make sure to let the color dry off before putting up another layer to avoid application. Finish The nail enamel gives nice shine to the nails with opaque color. The nails look really beautiful as well as glamorous at the same time. Shiny nails are definitely a must have for night outs. Longevity If you do not do much household stuff, then the shade & shine will stay intact for about 4-5 days, as I have tested. But if you have to take care of home & other homely duties, of course you will notice loss of shine as well as color chipping off from the top of your nails in just 2-3 days. You should wear gloves while carrying out cleaning etc. to take care of your nails & hands in general. Likes Maybelline Color Show Nail Enamel Ladies Night is quite bold & quirky. Nice smooth texture. The paint is free of Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene. Applicator is efficient. Packaging is compact. Budget friendly. Easily available. Lots of variants in shade & texture available. Pigmentation is good. Longevity is good if take care of your hands. Dislikes Not every shade from the range is that much pigmented. The peach shade I got with this Ladies Night, was very thin in consistency and the pigmentation was not that good. Also the glittery shades does not have much color to them. The color pay off is less while glitter is quite chunky. Summary : 4.5/5 I absolutely like the range for the budget factor associated with this range. Shiny shades are worth trying from this range. Dark shades are nice in color pay off.

Lotus Herbals Colour Dew Nail Enamel in 955 Fairy Flare and 902 Nude Pink Review & NOTD

Nisha Malik — Thu, 04 May 2017 12:40:33 +0000

Guest Post By Sreeparna Lotus Herbals is one of my favorite skin and hair care brands. I have tried lots of skin and hair care items and this brand has never disappointed me with the quality and affordability. I find myself attracted towards the Lotus Herbals counter every time I pay a visit to the local beauty supply store. I don’t know why but I haven’t explored Lotus Herbals’ make-up range that much. Except for their kajal I own nothing from the make-up range. So, this time I got myself two nail paints from Lotus’ Color Dew range. In my today’s post you are going to find out how they performed. About Lotus Herbals Color Dew Nail Enamel Most nail enamels contain Acetone and Toluene that often cause skin irritation and lead to dull and fragile nails. Colour Dew is a range of exciting nail enamels that are completely safe for your nails as it is Acetone, DBP and Toluene free. Packaged uniquely, it comes with a flat & sturdy brush applicator. And the best quality is that dries fast so that you are spared from the trouble of re-colouring your nails again and again. Ingredients Not mentioned in details. The write-up only mentions ‘Toluene & DBP free’. Price Rs.120 for 7ml . Buy here. How To Use Clean your nails with nail polish remover, shape your nails. Choose the nail enamel which you want to apply. Before applying the nail enamel rub the bottle between your hands so that contents mix up well. Apply the nail enamel in 3 strokes .after drying up apply the 2nd coat. Packaging The Nail colours of Lotus’s Colour Dew series come in sleek cylindrical glass bottles with shiny silver plastic screw cap in conical shape. The medium thick applicator brush, attached to the lid of the nail paint bottle works nicely at spreading the product evenly on the nails. There is literally no label graphics anywhere in the bottle but the see-through bottle still looks chic due to its conical cap and simple packaging. I am not telling it’s a treat for my eyes as I am a huge fan of alluring packaging. But, the packaging is travel-safe, leakage-proof and sturdy. Texture These Lotus nail colours have very thin consistency. They are the most runny nail paints I have ever used. I think it is their toluene and phthalate free formula that makes their nail colours so ‘liquidy’. Fragrance Both the nail paints have strong acetone smell to them. Though the smell seems intense at the beginning, it does not take long to fade off. Shade 955 Fairy Flare Since it is summer time, I am into pastel nails these days. So, both of the Colour Dew nail paints are also from pastel shade range. This one is a neutral toned coral pink colour. The shade is sweet and girly. The name is correct in the sense it reminds me of fairy dresses from my childhood wardrobeJ. The shade looks pretty on every one and it is not an over-the-top bold colour. It is more of an everyday pink for summer days. Shade 902 Nude Pink This colour is pretty much ivory with slight pinkish hint to it. Although the shade name has ‘Nude’ to it, the shade would be the match to very fair skin tones only. This shade becomes muted pastel white to most Indian skin tones including mine. This kind of shade looks great with dense mehendi painted hands. Pigmentation Due to the light texture, these nail paints goes opaque on nails once you apply two coats. If you apply one coat the Nude Pink shade looks slightly uneven. I am thankful that the actual colour shows or my 120 bucks will have gone astray. Longevity The staying power is quite good with these nail colours. They remain as it is for 4-5 days without any base or top coat if it is given ample time to dry and the hands are not into hard works. Then it starts to chip from the sides of my nails. My Views The Colour Dew series of nail paints are quite raved about in my friends circle. So, this time I made my first attempt by getting these two shades for myself. When I first applied the nail paints, my first impression was ‘Oh! The shades are too runny. Will they give opaque coverage?’ After 2 coats the light shade also gave full coverage to my relief! The coral shade, Fairy Flare is simply awesome. I was in need of such a shade for long. The staying power is also good with these nail paints. Here I want a special mention on the applicator. The applicator is longer than most other nail colours plus the conical cap makes it a bit more long. The application becomes very easy with it. I am going to get some other darker shades from this range because according to my friends they are really nice. Likes Nice and wide shade range Does not contain harmful Pthalates and toluene Staying power is good Attractive and travel-friendly packaging Affordable price-point Dislikes Consistency is liquidy Colour needs two coats to become opaque Summary I would recommend Lotus Herbals Colour Dew nail enamels in Fairy Flare to someone who is searching for a coral pink nail paint and the Nude Pink shade to someone who want a muted ivory shade with hints of pink. Fairy Flare: 5/5 Nude Pink: 3.5/5 Have you used any makeup items from Lotus Herbals? Are you a fan of pastel nail paints? Share in the comments below. Love.
