Maybelline Colorshow Party Girl nailpolish : Fireworks 114 ~ Swatch & Review

Maybelline launched this range of nailpolish last year and I have reviewed the shade Tequila Sunrise (a gorgeous rose gold color, first in the pic above) before. In this post I am reviewing another gorgeous party shade ‘Fireworks 114‘

 

 

Price: Rs 175

Fireworks 114 is a berry pink colored nail polish with chunks of glitter. This nailpolish has magenta, black and golden micro shimmer with golden and magenta chunky hexagonals suspended in a semi transparent dark pink base. The overall color is a beautiful glittery dark pink with golden glitters. The glitters and hexagonal chunks in this nailpolish remain suspended and does not settle down at the bottom of the bottle. The glitter does not tug and the nail polish settles into a smooth finish. This is semi transparent  nailpolish in single coat and gives full opacity with 2 coats.

The packaging is standard packaging of their Colorshow nailpolish. It comes in cylindrical glass bottle with black cap. The shade name is engraved on top of the cap. The brush is decent and picks enough nailpolish for one coat.

The shade is bit deeper in reality than in the swatches below.

Fireworks 114 being glitter nailpolish, its removal can be quite a pain, especially if you layer this polish a lot. You can remove such glitter polishes easily using the method I use HERE

The tip wear/chipping starts after 3-4 days, which is quite ok, as I dont expect these polish to be super long lasting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall, this is a beautiful deep pink glitter nailpolish which will go out with most traditional Indian outfits as they tend to have some element of red/pink in them. I will definitely repurchase this when this bottle gets over.

Maybelline Colorshow Party Girl nailpolish : Tequila Sunrise ~ Swatch & Review

Maybelline launched Party Girl collection last year towards the end and I have been meaning to review them on my blog ever since. This is such a stunning collection and anyone who loves glitter polish will go bonkers. I myself had to control myself from buying too many shades (I only picked 4 :P) I will review the shades I have and here I am reviewing my favorite shade from the collection : Tequila Sunrise 112 

Pssst! My love for Glitter nailpolish can be seen HERE 😀

 

Price: Rs 175

Tequila Sunrise 112 is a beautiful rose gold-pinkish nail polish with rose gold hexagonals and glitter. The nailpolish has golden shimmer which gives this naipolish a beautiful rose gold sheen. This nail polish is loaded with the glitters which remain suspended and does not settle down at the bottom of the bottle. The glitter does not tug and the nail polish settles into a smooth finish.

The packaging is standard packaging of their Colorshow nailpolish. It comes in cylindrical glass bottle with black cap. The shade name is engraved on top of the cap. The brush is decent and picks enough nailpolish for one coat. It takes 2 coats for full color intensity as one coat is slightly sheer, but it is high on golden shimmer so you can wear one coat also.

The shade is more golden and light pink as compared too swatches below which are more pink and less gold.

Tequila Sunrise 112 being glitter nailpolish, its removal can be quite a pain, especially if you layer this polish a lot. You can remove such glitter polishes easily using the method I use HERE

The tip wear/chipping starts after 3-4 days, which is quite ok, as I dont expect these polish to be super long lasting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall, this is a beautiful rose gold glitter nailpolish and if you love glitter and if you love the color rose gold, you should definitely check it out.

Maybelline Colorshow Gold Digger nail polish ~ Gilded Rose 903: Review & Swatch

Maybelline has an entire range on gold themed nail colors: Gold Digger Collection, and I am reviewing a beautiful peach color nailpolish from this range ~ Gilded Rose 903

I have reviewed the first three shades in the pic above HERE, HERE and HERE

Price: Rs 145

 

Gilded Rose 903 is a peach colored nail polish with sugar texture. 

It comes in classic Colorshow packaging: cylindrical transparent bottle with black cap and name engraved on top. The brush is decent but not great. Gilded Rose is a peach colored nail polish with peach and golden shimmer. This is not as bling shade as some of the OTHERS in this collection, but it is a good shade if you like subtle colors. However, this shade can make hands look dark, so try it at the counters before you purchase.

People confuse this shade of Gold Digger collection with  ‘Pink Champagne’ shade of the previous Glitter Mania collection. There is a difference between the two shades, the latter being more blingy and rose gold in color, and Gilded rose is peachy in color with toned down bling. Also, there is no chunky glitter in Gilded Rose. The texture however, is the same. Personally, I like Pink Champagne shade more.

This is not a top coat, and it takes 2-3 coats to build the color. The tip wear starts after 3-4 days. Being a glitter nailpolish, its removal is quite a pain. You can remove such glitter polishes easily using the method I use HERE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall, this is a good color if you like subtle colors with toned down bling. This is a great office appropriate color in my opinion. But it may make hands look dark, so try it on your nails first.

Love,

Blossom

 

Maybelline Colorshow Gold Digger nail polish ~ Gold Gluttony 905: Review & Swatch

 

Maybelline has an entire range on gold themed nail colors: Gold Digger Collection, and I am reviewing a stunning top coat from this range ~ Gold Gluttony 905

I have reviewed the first two shades in the pic above HERE and HERE

Price: Rs 145

 

Gold Gluttony is a transparent nail polish with chunks of gold flakes of different sizes. This is a top coat and looks great on both light as well as dark base colors. This is a no-fuss nail polish which can take your manicure up a notch in no time.

It comes in classic Colorshow packaging: cylindrical transparent bottle with black cap and name engraved on top. The brush is decent but not great. I think the brush could have been wider to pick such chunky gold leaves effectively. Sometimes, I am left with only 1-2 gold specks in one coat and so have to place the gold flakes individually on each nail. Also, using multiple coats to load up on the bling makes it gloopy and slow to dry.

Other than that, it is a great nail polish to bling up the manicure. I always wanted a nailpolish like this- gold chunky leaf glitter, and this one is a great budget option to have.

Being a glitter nailpolish, its removal is quite a pain. You can remove such glitter polishes easily using the method I use HERE

Colorbar Heavy Metal Nail Polish : Pink Topaz 006 ~ Review & Swatch

 

Colorbar has recently launched a new range of Nail polish- the Heavy Metal Collection. There are seven beautiful shades in this collection and I couldn’t help but pick one shade myself. I bought the shade Pink Topaz 006 and I will be reviewing it here.

 

This is how Colorbar describes Heavy Metal nail polish

Sparkle like a gemstone wherever you go! Embrace the richness of deep and heavy pearl toned shades that add character to your nails and give that heavy metal effect. The shades reflect the personality of the popular gemstones hand-picked to suit Indian skin types. The stark contrast of the shades against your nails make them look attractive instantly and they look like beautiful gemstones. The formula is intense yet fast-drying with deep intensity of self-pearls and high shine. In just a single stroke your nails are enveloped in irresistible and trend-setting metal shades of the future. What’s more is that the formula has an excellent drying time along with being 3-free, long-lasting, non-yellowing and chip-resistant.

 

Price: Rs 300 for 9 ml

 

Colorbar Heavy Metal nail polish comes in a rectangular bottle with shade name sticker on top of the cap.The cap has a colorful wavy art design which is signature to this range. The brush is decent and picks enough nail polish for one stroke application.

Pink Topaz 006 is a beautiful deep onion pink color with pearl finish. This polish is sheer in one coat and it takes 3-4 coats to build to full opacity. Pearl finish nail polish tend to be streaky, but this one is not at all streaky. This nail polish is fast drying, so you do not have to wait much between the coats. The staying power of this nail polish is good. I did not see any tip wear for 3 days and chipping started only after 5 days.

Even though I picked one color (for now ;)), the other shades worth checking out are : Emerald Heights (emerald color), Chrome Sapphire (Yellowish gold) and Garnet mist (maroonish-brown).

 

 

 

 

 

This nail polish looks more pink in some of the swatches above, but it is more deep and purplish pink in color

Final Thoughts

Heavy Metal range by Colorbar consists of beautiful deep colors with pearl finish.  Pink Topaz 006 is a deep onion pink color with beautiful pearl finish. This nail polish is fast drying and fairly long lasting. Even though the consistency is sheer, the color is buildable in 3-4 coats. Only thing is, it could have been a little cheaper. The quantity is same as the Colorbar Exclusive nail polish range, only they have introduced new colors. Other than that, the formula and color is excellent. I will probably purchase more colors of this range

Maybelline Colorshow Gold Digger ~ Oh-My-Gold! 904 : Review & Swatch

 

Maybelline launched Gold Digger Collection in their Colorshow nail polish a while back. I will be reviewing a few of their shades in a series of posts. I had reviewed a beautiful top coat from this range- Bling Thing 902 earlier and here I am reviewing a gorgeous silvery gold color from this range ~ Oh-My-Gold! 904.

 

 

Price: Rs 145

Oh-My-Gold 904 is silvery gold nail polish with gold specks and glitter. The golden glitter and specks get masked by the silvery polish which gives a muted shimmer effect to the whole look, which I love!  This is a metallic nail polish, which is neither silver nor golden, but somewhere in between.

One coat is opaque enough, but I apply 2 coats anyways. It dries fairly quick.

The glitter and golden specks are not too out there and gives a beautiful diffused shine.

The packaging is standard packaging of their Colorshow nailpolish. It comes in cylindrical glass bottlewith black cap. The shade name is engraved on top of the cap. The brush is decent and picks enough nailpolish for one coat. The glitter in this nailpolish remain suspended and does not settle down at the bottom of the bottle. The glitter does not tug and the nail polish settles into a smooth finish.

I am right handed, so my polishes start to chip early on my right hand. I could see minor tip wear from this polish starting next day on my right hand (which happens with almost ALL the nailpolishes) and proper chipping in 4 days. But nail polish on my left hand stayed put for 5 days (!),  and so I am impressed with the staying power of this polish.

Oh My God 904 being glitter nailpolish, its removal can be quite a pain, especially if you layer this polish a lot. You can remove such glitter polishes easily using the method I use HERE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall, Oh-My-Gold 904 is a beautiful silvery-gold color with muted shimmer and specks which gives a beautiful overall diffused shine. If you wear metallic colors like silver and gold, do check this one out. I love this shade and will definitely repurchase it.

Maybelline Colorshow Gold Digger ~ Bling Thing 902 : Review & Swatch

Maybelline launched Gold Digger Collection in their Colorshow nail polish a while back and I will be reviewing a few of their shades in a series of posts. Here I am reviewing a gorgeous top coat from this range ~ Bling Thing 902.

 

 

Price: Rs 145

Bling Thing 902 is transparent nail polish with confetti of glitters. It consists of black and gold glitter in 3 sizes- small dot sized, medium hexagons and big chunky golden hexagonal. The big hexagons have holographic effect. One coat is sufficient to apply on top of another nail polish color, but you can apply two coats as well if you want to go overboard with the glitter and bling. In the photos below, I have applied 2 coats on my index finger and 1 coat on the rest.

The packaging is standard packaging of their Colorshow nailpolish. It comes in cylindrical glass bottle with black cap. The shade name is engraved on top of the cap. The brush is decent and picks up enough glitter to be applied in 1 coat. This nail polish is loaded with the glitters which remain suspended and does not settle down at the bottom of the bottle. The glitter does not tug and the nail polish settles into a smooth finish.

This is one funky confetti nail polish which can jazz up your nails in no time.

Overall, this is a great funky confetti nail polish which isn’t too expensive.You can use this nailpolish for some instant nail art. The holographic hexagonal looks super pretty. I will definitely repurchase it when it gets over 🙂

Pair up the Right Footwear to have a Smooth Wedding Ceremony!

 

Wedding is once in a lifetime event that doesn’t take place again and again; it is once and forever!
And to make very inch of this D- Day special, a bride is ought to buy the best of things offered to her. After getting your dream wedding lehenga stitched, there arrives the need to look for the perfect footwear that goes in sync with the lehenga! You can very easily explore best online lehenga and footwear options present at IndiaRush.

 

Choosing good footwear is not only important for adding the best to the bride’s overall look on the wedding day, but also from the point of view of her comfort on such a hectic day! If her shoes are not cozy, then she can’t be seated comfortable during different ceremonies. Given below are the guidelines to make the best choice of shoes:-

 

1. The intricate embroidery work and heavy fabric make the bridal lehenga extremely heavy. And to support such a hefty lehenga, you must avoid wearing strappy heels. These will not be able to support you firmly in carrying the entire weight, throughout all the functions.

 

 

2. Go on wearing solid color pumps having gold or neutral beige shade with your red Bollywood lehenga ! Both gold and beige colours possess a beautiful quality of matching the demand of every lehenga, irrespective of its colour. And pumps are believed to provide better support to the bride in managing her lehenga!

 

 

3. If you have got a lehenga stitched that has a lot of borders, then you shall definitely opt for classy ankle strap stilettos, which will look uber cool with the lehenga and will give you a chic stylish edge! Be the bride with a difference!

 

 

4. If you choose to wear a multicolor lehenga choli, then keep strictly sticking to metallic gold or silver coloured shoes, depending on the work of your lehenga. It’s always better to play a safe game, rather than making a big goof up on such an important day!

My Shopping experience with Limeroad.com

Hi

Nowadays almost everything can be bought online. There are like a thousand shopping sites where you can order and get the stuff delivered at your doorstep. Because of the convenience online shopping offers combined with a huge collection and prompt delivery, I have started to shop online A LOT these days (Much to my mother’s annoyance as she has to receive the package everytime 😀 ). I have already reveiwed Jabong and Quikr on the blog and this time I am reviewing Limeroad.com.

Limeroad.com is one of its own e-commerce website in India. They have a huge collection of a variety of things- from apparel to jewellery, from home decor, kitchen & dining to bath and linen. Their collection is refreshing and different from other major shopping sites. But the major thing which makes Limeroad.com stand out from the myriad of other online shopping sites is its scrapbook feature. It lets its users to create fashion collages and share among their friends. With the scrapbooking feature, a whole look can be created using various products on the site which is really helpful in deciding how the product will look or the ways a product can be styled.

 

Limeroad.com is easy to browse. It has different categories for every department and everything is sorted neatly on the website. The website is clean and clutter free.

I have mixed reviews for this shopping site. I will start with what I ordered. I wanted to check out the products from apparel, jewellery and kitchen stuff. The collection is new and refreshing but the brands are less known. They should include more brands especially well known ones  from mid-high price range. I have shopped from three categories – Apparel, jewellery and kitchen tableware.

1. Apparel–  Black sequined Tshirt

 

I placed an order for this Tshirt and I was informed about the status of the order at each step via email and text. It was delivered within two days. However, when I opened the package to try the Tshirt for fitting, the color of the tshirt looked faded and not like the pic shown on their website. Also, it smelled weirdly- stale and naphthalene balls types. New clothes should smell fresh but this one was weird. I had an issue with the size and I liked the Tshirt but the color difference and the stale smell was off-putting. Therefore, I had to return it and now I am apprehensive for buying another apparel as most of the brands on this site are not well-known.

Status: Returned for Quality issues

 

2. Jewellery– Earrings

I fell in love with these danglers the moment I saw them. So, I immediately placed an order for these. I placed an order on June 14th and the estimated delivery was 4-6 days. I kept waiting for the earrings only to receive a mail on 23rd (after 9 days) that the order has been cancelled. However, the refund process was hassle-free. Since I liked the product a lot I tried to place the order again, only to find the product is no longer there on their website.

Status: Order cancelled due to operational issues.

 

3. Kitchen tableware – Soup spoons

 

 

I wanted to buy spoons and so I browsed their Kitchen section. They have a huge collection of kitchen ware and it looks pretty good. However, they didn’t mention the size of the spoons which could have been helpful. So, I had to follow my instincts in deciding the size. The spoons came nicely bubble wrapped in bright green packaging. The order was delivered in two days.

 

Overall, I have mixed reviews for shopping at Limeroad.com. The collection is refreshing and they have a wide range of products. The scrapbooking feature is innovative and helpful. They keep the users well-informed about the status of the order via email. The products are properly packed and delivered on time. Returns are hassle free. But there is a need to incorporate more brands especially widely known ones. Also, they should look into the quality of products they deliver.

 

xoxo
