Budget Belleza

Totally in the blue phase these days.. so much so that I even bought blue curtains for the summer.  Wherever I go these days, my eyes are just looking for hues from navy blue to powder blue to even periwinkles. Anyway...jumping straight into the review... Following my heart I bought this DAISY BLUE nail paint from Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist range although I noticed later I had same shade from another brand already in my nail polish collection. Meh!   Price/Quantity : 300/ 15 ml  My Quick 2 Cents: The shade is a beautiful sky blue..perfect for summer!  Brush is broad and fluffy. Quite a lot of quantity. Dries up fast thus saving the smudge. Gives a glossy finish. Stayed chip free for more than a week. Is available at 20-30% discount on some or the other online shopping portal all the time. Over All Thoughts It gets a 5 on 5 from me! xoxo Aditi

When everyone is going gaga about dilli ki sardi , let me confess I don't really like winter. Winter was good when I was in college and the food department was mom's job. Winter back then meant studying in warm quilts, having coffee and hot snacks sitting in the sun in college, all covered going for evening walk with my bestie and mom serving delicious hot food right infront me.Now I'm a mom..leave alone work, these days getting out of the bed in the morning seems like a warfare preparation. Thus, no big winter chill fan, I enjoy the weather for it makes us bring out the brightest clothes and the deepest makeup out...WITHOUT hesitation. Lately, I've been going all deep and bold with my lips and nails since I end up wearing so much black in winters somehow or the other that a pop of colour is much needed. Often Christmas is synonymous with Red colour,be it the attire or makeup. But these nail paints from Revlon will make one come out of the box and try blues,green...

Now that Fall is just around the corner, I'm trying to use my spring stuff a bit before it gets pushed back in the stash even though I admit that this was perhaps the first year when my spring was too fall inspired (deep lip shades in summers were a strict no-no earlier...but now? Baaaahhhhhh!!!!) This summer I wore everything from bold lips to deep nails, I dunno just craved for all things bold and the consequence was..the summery stuff sat pretty waiting for its turn to be flaunted. Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Porcelain Party was one such summery beachy buy. There's something about white nail paints that reminds me of beaches and washed out denims and just for that cool breeze-feel I got myself a white nail paint after aaaaaaages...!! What It Is : With trendy, super stylish shades, these nail colors add oodles of attitude to your overall look. Presenting 40 attractive shades, the Maybelline Color Show Range let’s you mix, match and experiment with c...

Though they are calling it Nail Polish..Its a Glitter Top Coat to begin with.. When Mr.Husband gets you a beautiful purple saree (follow me on Instagram to get a glimpse) and your love for both the saree and the colour in particular is obvious,you just wanna pair it up with a similar nail paint..yeah? Now I'm not particularly a big fan of having the galaxy on my finger tips (okay nails) , I'm just contented with clear top coats (except glittery ones on black nail polish) But I didn't want to stay a glitter-virgin .. so this beauty came to my experience! NYX Advanced Salon Formula Nail Polish in Purple Glitter comes in a huge, glass, square bottle of 15ml . It has all the necessary details like the shade name, price, manufacturing and ingredients list on the bottle and cap itself. It has a long,thick,synthetic brush that applies PERFECTLY..Love the brush! Love the whole bottle for that matter..!! NYX Advanced Salon Formula Nail Polish in P...

Before I begin with my experience of this nail paint, lemme tell you just HOW I wish that all these gel nail paints and 'twist-n-remove' kinda nail polish removers had launched back when I got married.  Oh boy! Half of my honeymoon was spent in keeping the nail paint looking chip free and fresh..lol  Getting back to the product in question.. "I don't like a true red nail varnish" said no woman ever!! I've always had one in my kitty..AAAALLLWAAAYYSSSSS..!!!   I was so intrigued to see the celebrities wearing one on their broad based toes and used to wonder how come everyone has a broad nail bed and not me? Do they get it done going under the knife..haha female mind I tell you!! Anyway.. long story short..I got this Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist nail paint in Tomato Tango in my recent haul and I love it!! Price: INR 400/ 15ml (you can get it online here ) Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist nail paint in Tomato Tango is ...

I love earthy tones on my lips and nails and if I am to churn out my favourite nail paints..Nudes would win hands down! The nail paint in question today was actually a part of the Elf Necessary Nails Collection which had in all 15 shades for $15..easy Maths eh? The one on my nails is in the shade Nude ! I love Nude nail polishes on my hand. They suit every outfit, look classy and at times if I may say..save you from going over matchy matchy. Thus this Flesh-toned Nude shade was a love at first sight..it still is!! The application part didn't seem a task. It gives absolutely opaque finish in two coats. It dries up pretty fast,I was good to go in 10 min. BUT BUT BUT...the brush is streaky! Beware! It is by far one of the most flattering nude nail paint that I have ever tried besides Maybelline's Bale Classico.  Now that you have heard good things about it,lets tell you the bad! It sucks at staying power (sorry for the lingo,but nothing else would describe...
