Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer Review


Few days ago, I got the Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer from Nykaa.com in the shade Nutcracker Dreams.
I'll be sharing my experience in this post. Read on to know whether this product will work for you or not.

Price

Rs 199 for 9ml

What the brand says

Nykaa Nude Matte Nail Enamel- Nutcracker Dreams 151 :If you're looking for some fairytale bliss, our Nutcracker Dreams is about to make it come true! This beautiful, pinkish-toned brown is all you need to work your magic. Dip your pinkies in this warm, stunning shade for a classy look.

My views on claims

-The exquisite matte nail polish formula guarantees one stroke, sheer perfection.
->YES, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND 2 COATS
-Its superior patented two-fold plasticizer prevents chipping.
-> NO, IT DOESN'T. READ ON TI KNOW WHY.
-It contains a UV filter that resists discoloration and offers a rich color pay-off.
-> NO, AGAIN.
-Smooth and gorgeous coverage in a single coat and a stunning, plumping effect in a double coat.
->YES, AND THE FINISH IS GORGEOUS!
-These beautiful shades will make sure your nails are best-dressed always.
-> YES!

My experience

The shade 'Nutcracker dreams' is indeed a fairytale kinda pink shade. It is the perfect shade for work. If you want to try something apart from pinks and reds, this one's worth a try.
The product comes in an attractive matte glass bottle. The bottle is flat and doesn't occupy much space. 10/10 for the packaging. The nailpaint dries matte in seconds. It does form dents during the first few hours if not taken care of.
 I used the nailpaint for a week. It wasn't chip resistant for more than 3 days. But being a nude nailpaint, the chipping isn't of much concern and looks good for a week. On the 3rd day, the matte finish was lost, literally! By the 5th day, the pink color had turned to a BEAUTIFUL brownish violet.
After having such a quirky experience with the product, I'd still recommend this one. Nykaa products are sometimes overrated, but I love the brand.
Summing it up,

You should buy this if you:

-Are looking for a matte nailpaint with SAFE ingredients.
-Change nailpaint in 2 days
-Love animals
-Like experimenting with nail colors at an affordable price
-Want salon nails at home

You shouldn't buy this if you:

-Are looking for a long lasting nailpaint
-Hate chipped nailpaint

Elenblu Cosmetics Review

Image
I recently discovered an Indian brand that makes great quality eye makeup and nail lacquers. This post is all about them. Elenblu cosmetics sent me some of their products and here is my unbiased honest opinion! They were so kind to send me a personalised note too. I received 2 eye and 2 nail products. These products are made in Germany and are free of parabens. Yes! I did check the ingredients! The eye makeup comes in cardboard packaging is really quirky and there is a quote written inside each box. Starting with the eye makeup, firstly I tried the Power Kohl Kajal. The kajal comes in retractable plastic packaging.  It is a deep black matte kajal giving competition to kajals by many big brands. I applied it on my lids and waterline both and it did not cause any kind of irritation, swelling or redness. It is priced at Rs 249 and I find it completely worth. The next eye product is their High Volume Waterproof Mascara.  The mascara is really waterproof....

Engage Pocket Perfumes: Review

It's just April and the climate is already so hot in Mumbai. The only key to survive summer is staying fresh throughout the day. I am reviewing one such product on my blog today that is sure to make you fall in love.  It's by none other than my most loved brand, ITC Engage. They have introduced a line of perfumes that are best for summers and can be carried along all day with you, even in your pocket😱. Engage Pocket Perfume by ITC has 3 fresh and mild fragrances that go easy on your pocket. They retail for 60₹ each and are out of stock most of the time in stores. https://amzn.to/2HRHG7M You can buy them before they run out online as well. Quickly reviewing all 3 variants. Cool Aqua Firstly, the green one called 'Cool Aqua' has a mild fragrance and is apt for summers. This will immediately remind you of the sea. This lasts for about 2 to 3 hours. Floral Fresh The red one is a floral scent called 'Floral Fresh'. It's good for worki...

Gala of London Long Stay Lipcolour Review

Image
We have all been hearing about Gala of London since we were young. Times have changed and so did makeup trends. It's all about liquid lipsticks these days. Gala of London too decided to move ahead with the generations and created a product that goes well with today's trend. It is the Long Stay Lipcolour. Let's see how well they worked for me. So, Gala of London sent me two lip colours and after a lot of trying and testing, here is my honest review. Firstly, the lipstick comes in a cardboard packaging unlike most lipsticks do. The lipstick comes in a transparent tube with a silver cap and a doe foot applicator. The lipstick is tiny. If you like collecting more shades, this could be an advantage. The price of this is Rs 225 for 1.6 ml. I received 2 shades. Red cherry, a cool toned red is a dupe of Mac Russian Red and ABH Bloodline. Summer Sunset, a coral red is a dupe of NARS heat wave. The lipsticks come with safe ingredients and are mentioned on the out...
