REVIEW AND SWATCH : KRIZIA RECESSIONISTA

Hi,

    Today I have the swatches of a gorgeous holo polish called Recessionista by Krizia Enterprise. Krizia Enterprise is the first indie polish brand of India and makes some stunning polishes. I have bought quite a few of their holos and will review each one of them. I will post swatches as well as videos of these polishes.

Usually, Holo or Holographic polishes are of two types - Linear and Scattered. These polishes from Krizia Enterprise are scattered holo polishes. They are absolutely gorgeous.

 These polishes come in a 10 ml bottle and are priced at Rs. 300 each. If you are a nail polish addict you would know how expensive holos are from other brands. And if you are in India apart from the price there are several other hassles you will have to face in order to get these gorgeous polishes. So I feel Krizia Enterprise is an amazing venture :)

Recessionista is a hot pink scattered holo polish packed with holo goodness.

THE HOLO EFFECT

Here I have applied 3 coats of polish and 2 thick coats of quick drying top coat.

The only con for me was the drying time. It did take a little longer to dry but it is certainly worth the wait.

For the video please check out my Instagram video since I couldn't post it here :)

NAIL ENAMEL FROM NYKAA !!

Hello,

        First let me apologise for my long absence from my blog but I do post regularly on Instagram my nail arts and swatches of any new polish that I can lay my hands on :)

        Recently, Nykaa, our favourite e-store for beauty products and makeup, launched new nail enamel collection!! I was super excited to get this news and at once I ordered for 8 of them from the POP and Pastel collections.

        These polishes are 5 free, that means they do not contain harmful chemicals such as Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor.Moreover Nykaa states that they are not tested on animals and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

      Each bottle contains 10 ml of polish and is reasonably priced at Rs.149 per bottle. So these are quite pocket friendly and Nykaa's delivery is as usual great :)

NYKAA NAIL ENAMEL SWATCHES: 

BLUE RASPBERRY

        First up is Blue Raspberry from the POP collection. It is a pretty, summery, creme blue polish. I applied two coats without any top coat. It gives quite a shiny finish without a top coat. The wide brush made the application easy. Picture taken outside.

MELON PARFAIT

                Next is Melon Parfait from he PASTEL collection. It is not a true peach bu a melon - y peach pastel creme. The colour is a beautiful summery pastel however the formula was not as smooth as the first one. It has a bit streaky formula. However it levels out. I applied two coats no top coat. Picture taken outside.

HASTA LA PISTA

              Hasta La Pista from the PASTEL Collection is an adorable creme pista color.I applied two coats without any top coat.The formula is quite good and is easy to apply.Picture taken outside.

BUBBLE YUM

               Next up is Bubble Yum from the PASTEL Collection. I absolutely love this pink, it reminds me of the pink gum we used to love as kids.I applied two coats without any top coat.Formula is good.Picture taken outside.

LYCHEE DELIGHT

                Lychee Delight from the PASTEL Collection resembles the color of the flesh of the lychee fruit (one of my favourite fruits :) I applied two coats and top coat. The formula is a bit streaky but it is not difficult to apply. Picture taken outside.

MONOCHROME PUZZLE

HI,
So this is a nailart I did for #clairestelle8april challenge BLACK & WHITE . I never tried to do puzzle nail art, so I went for a puzzle for this challenge. 

To my surprise these turned out to be quite good, i was afraid they would be a fail :)

The steps are listed below :) If you recreate my designs please give credit 

• Divide the nails into 4 equal parts approx. with striping tape.

• Paint alternate parts black (pic pre-cleanup)

• Put a black dot in the white part and vice versa

Products Used :

Base Coat : RIMMEL 5 in 1

OPI Alpine Snow 

Colorbar Exclusive 76 , Top coat

Dotting Tool : EBAY

NEON MADNESS!!!!!

HELLO :)

I simply lovvveeeeee NEON. I usually take part in the nail art challenges which take place in Instagram. You can find me as @bsreya in Instagram. This particular nail art is my entry in #glamsnailchallenge. The theme is neon and so I used the China Glaze Electric Nights Collection :) :)

The steps are as follows :

• Paint the middle finger and ring finger black and the other two fingers white. 

• For the middle finger I created the neon strips with striping tape. This is a pre-cleanup shot :)

• For the ring finger I used China Glaze Electric Nights "LET THE BEAT DROP" glitter topper.

• I used China Glaze Electric Nights "DAISY KNOW MY NAME ?" (my absolute fav) on my other two fingers.

• Just added a few black dots :)

BASE COAT : RIMMEL 

COLORBAR TOP COAT, EXCLUSIVE 76
