Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing Essie Nail Polish in Summit of Style for you guys.

Product Description: The luxeffects line is a collection of glitter top coats that can be worn over any essie nail colour to add some sparkle and dazzle! 

Price: 8.50 USD

Packaging: It comes in a transparent square shaped bottle with a white cap.

Performance:

Essie Nail Polish in Summit of Style is a beautiful rose gold sparkle top coat with perfectly sized hexagon shaped glitter and specks. It looks every bit as beautiful on the nails as it does in the bottle. The glitter chunks come in different sizes so you get a nice wash of flecks. The brush is also nice and long so that helps in even application. This works great over a coloured nail polish and goes well with almost all the colours. It can be used on its own as well but you have to layer it up quite a bit and pack that glitter on. It is chunky enough to look opaque with little base colour peeking through. I like using it both as a top coat over nail polish or just doing an accent nail where I really pack on the glitter. Staying power is nice and it lasts for 4- 5 days easily and removing it is also not that difficult.

I really like this glittery top coat and the colour is so different from the usual gold and silver. If you are someone who likes glitter nail polish then you should definitely try this one out.

Hope you liked this post!!

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing Zoya Nail Polish in Elisa for you guys. I really like this shade it is a bit different from your usual reds. Let see how it fares out.

Product Description:

Elisa by Zoya can be best described as a bright, shining medium crimson red with subtle gold shimmer and a glowing metallic finish. The smooth, glowy metallic finish gives this bright red an extra kick.

Colour Family - Red 
Finish - Metallic 
Intensity - 5 (1 = Sheer - 5 = Opaque) 
Tone - Cool 

Price: $10

Performance:

Zoya Nail Polish in Elisa is a crimson red with golden shimmer in it but the shimmer is very subtle. It looks like Christmas in a bottle. Texture of this is so creamy and smooth and so easy to apply. Though the texture is creamy it dries fast and you don’t have to wait much in between the coats which is always good. It is richly pigmented but I always go for two coats to get the perfect look. End result is streak free, glossy looking nails. It has a standard brush round and cut straight at the top but this one doesn’t suck. It picked up the right amount of polish and gave streak free finish. Onto the part that matters the most staying power, it slightly chipped off from the tips by the end of day 2 nothing major but by the end of day 4 it chipped quite badly. I am not fan of its staying power but I love the colour. I think a nice base and top coat can definitely improve the staying power.

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing a nail paint that I picked up on one of my grocery shopping trip. This is a fairly new line I think, I could be totally wrong but I took notice of this few months back only. They have nail paints, lipstick, lip glosses and body care products. I wanted to try out something from the line but kept forgetting to do so. This time around I went in with a friend so it was bound to happen . We looked around did a bit of swatching and decided on trying the nail paints first. I picked up two nail paints NP 20 and NP 24. Let see how it fares out.

Price: 1.5 USD

Performance:

Nordic Cap of Sweden Star Nails in NP 20 is a dark emerald green shade. The texture of this polish is quite creamy and smooth. Nicely pigmented but two coats are needed for the perfect look. Have nice glossy finish. Brush is a standard nail polish brush round and cut straight at top. Not a big fan of the brush. As far as the staying power is concerned its very good. Without any top coat it stayed strong for three days with slight fading and minor chipping around the edges and by the end of the fourth day it chipped a little more but nothing horrendous. Glossy effect stayed good for 2 days but started wearing of by third day. With a base coat and a top coat the wear time definitely improves and you can easily get 5-6 days of wear out of it which is quite impressive. Generally nail paints don’t last that long on me and I was not expecting this one will last this long. I would have been okay if it lasted for even 2-3 days so I am quite happy with my purchase.

L'oreal Color Riche Le Vernis 404 Scarlet Vamp is a red shade with pink undertones. On camera it doesn't seem so but in person it's more visible.

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing another nail paint from Avon. It is Avon Nailwear Pro in Loving Lavender. This year I have been really loving purple/lavender shades and this is another addition to my list. Let's see how this one fares out.

Product Description:

Contains dura plus complex & gelatin for flexibility. Finish on nails is resistant to chipping.

Price: 2.27 USD

Performance:

Loving Lavender is a pretty pastel purple colour. The brush is a standard nail polish brush round and straight cut at top. Formula wise they are quite creamy and smooth but they do get streaky and in my opinion it has more to do with the brush than the formula of the nail paint. It is nicely pigmented considering it is a pastel shade; you just need two coats for the perfect look. On its own the staying power is pretty average, it stayed good for two days with slight fading and chipping along the sides but by the end of fourth day it chipped pretty badly. With a base and top coat it lasted nicely for five days with minor chipping along the edges. I think with these nail paints a base and top coat is a must.

The Good:

The Bad:

I love this shade a lot and the way it looks on my nails. I know that this gets streaky and the staying power is not that amazing but still I like it. Streakiness is not visible until you are looking up close and with top coat it is hardly visible. These are quite affordable and are on offers quite often. I am definitely going to get other shades from this range.

A while ago in anticipation of warmer weather I bought a few bright coloured nail paints from Avon. This year I am going for fun bright shades and I thought of sharing my picks with you guys.

Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Mulberry – It is a berry pinkish shade and probably not so summery shade but I quite like it and it looks nice on the toes.

Avon Nailwear Pro in Loving Lavender – My love for purple still going strong.

Avon Nailwear Pro in Fuchsia – It is bright pink shade, I usually shy away from such shades but this time I thought I would give it a go and guess what I like it. It looks good on toes as well.

Avon Nailwear Pro in Aqua Fantasy – Perfect mint green shade and I have nothing like this in my stash. I think this is going to be my favourite of the lot.

Avon Nailwear Pro in Sweet Mint – I am not sure about this shade and it is completely out of my comfort zone. But something about this shade made me pick it up. Let see how it goes.

Hope you guys liked this post!

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to review Maxfactor Glossfinity Nail Polish in 130 Lilac Lace. Let see how it fairs out.

Product Description:

Glossfinity is a collection of glossy lacquer. Glossfinity keeps lacquer flawless for up to 7 days!

Use:

Glossfinity has a proprietary formula that in addition to minimizing the risk of chipping also gives a smoother-than-ever result! For best results: Finish with completely transparent Glossfinity Top Coat!

Price: Approx 9 USD

Performance:

Maxfactor Glossfinity Nail Polish in 130 Lilac Lace is a more purple shade than lilac. The textures of these are creamy, smooth and just glide on your nails. Nicely pigmented but two coats are needed for the perfect look. You get streak free, glossy looking nails. Brush is a standard nail polish brush round and cut straight at top. Not a big fan of the brush. 

As far the staying power is concerned its quite good but on me it did not last for 7 days. Without any top coat it stayed strong for three days with slight fading and minor chipping around the edges and by the end of the fourth day it chipped a little more but nothing horrendous. Glossy effect stayed good for 2 days but started wearing of by third day. With a base coat and a top coat the wear time definitely improves and you can easily get 5 -6 days of wear out of it which is quite impressive. Generally nail paints don’t last that long on me so I am quite happy with this one and can go on for almost a week with out switching nail paints. Ohh I wish all the nail paints lasted atleast this long. Life will be so easy. I for sure will be checking out other shades from this range.
