Aditi..

Here is another NOTW and this time its from the Speed Dry range of Avon.
Check it out:
Company Claims:

• New improved formula with Flash Dry Technology.
• Provides full and even coverage and high shine.
• Stays colour true and resists dulling.

Price/Quantity: INR 165/8ml (almost always on offer though)

Packaging:

Avon Speed Dry+ nail enamels come in square glass bottles with a black screw cap.I like their square shape and more than that I like that the shade names are printed on the bottle itself rather than a cap sticker. All in all good packaging.

Shade: Twilight Blue
Twilight Blue is a deep dark blue with shimmers !!

My Take:
This is not a recent purchase. I picked this up about one and a half year ago. The shade was obviously the reason behind..it a very deep blue almost leaning towards black. The texture is not smooth,the brush screechy and the staying power crappy :/

My Likes:
1. Nice shade..makes my hand look neat!
2. Comes cheap on offer.
3. Like the glass bottle shape.
4. They have names..and that too names printed on the bottle itself!

My Dislikes:
1. Starts chipping withing 24hrs.
2. Brush is screechy.
3. The formula isn't smooth

Last Word:
No matter how affordable a nail paint is and what all wonderful shades it has to offer..I still expect it to perform its basic task i.e. applying smoothly and staying long,which this product doesn't seem to do!

Repurchase:
Never a nail paint that doesn't stay for even a day...oh its rhyming :)

Over All Rating: 2/5

My Take:
To start off, I'm not a big fan of compacts/pressed powders because they are actually not a pleasure to my dry skin. But given to the humid weather I do need to touch up the t-zone. Its available in 4shades and I have the one in Soft Bisque. Avon Smooth and White Pressed Powder comes in a a cute and sturdy baby pink packaging with a mirror and a powder puff. The texture of the powder is nothing to boast about...Its dry and powdery and chalky and makes me look patchy :(
I'm yet not able to figure out as to why this product is a totally dud for me when I come across positive reviews of it. Could be the shade Soft Bisque is too light on me (NC 35ish)
But the formula isn't anywhere close to...smooooth :/
My Likes:
1. Cute Packaging.
2. Sturdy... Travel friendly
3. Comes with a mirror and powder puff.
4. Light on pocket when on discount.
5. Has SPF 14.

My Dislikes:
1. The shade (soft Bisque) is light on me.
2. The texture is not smooth.
3. Doesn't spread easily.
4. Leaves a patchy finish.
5. Doesn't photograph well.
6. Very Chalky.
7. Avon misunderstands shine-free with dry :/
8. Images on the catalog are not colour-true
9. You need an Avon Rep to get this.

Last Word:
Though light on pocket is heavy on face :/
I'm using the existing one on my neck :(

Repurchase:
Hell...NO

Over All Rating: 2/5 (2 for good packaging,else...)
