Retro Look Of Nails : Glam Nail Art

Finally I sacrificed my long nails. That was a really sad moment. But now I'm fine. :P

After doing this nail art, I really felt bad for not buying a complete set of nail art brushes. Just because if I had it today I could do much better than this.

I want to share one more thing, today I'm very happy (reason would be shared after few days) so I'm soon gonna host a giveaway. :)

Okay let's start with this retro nail art --

First, I'll do psyche pattern on nails, which is requested by Cherry Lane (a fellow blogger friend). She named it psychedelic pattern. :)

This is very simple and I invented it. So start with two nail paints, here I used white and intense pink nail paint.

First coat of white nail paint on all nails.

Then after few minutes, place a drop of pink nail paint on bed of nail as shown in picture below.

Then take white nail paint and brush the white color on pink color. The brush will make the psyche design. You don't have to do much. Isn't simple?

Now outline the nails with black nail paint. And on ring finger use some golden and silver glitters.

Use three yellow stone on ring finger in a vertical line to complete the retro look.

Did you like this retro look??

Fiery Nails : Nail Art

Yesterday I visited KFC, where I tried fiery grilled chicken. It was nice but my hubby didn't like it much.
So today I thought I should make fire on nails. I mean fiery nails.
So here is the first look -

Yes it's my faces bronze nail paint. I don't waste my nail paint. :P So make the design on the same.

> First, I tried to make fire on thumb nail with needle but it didn't came out right, so I used free hand nail art with my nail art brush to make design on other nails.
It's really strange that I've only one nail art brush. I don't even have nail art tools like dotting tools and other nail art brushes.

With yellow and red nail paint I made fire and used some silver glitters to complete the look.

I'll try much better design for fire next time. Hope you like it.

Love,

Faces Nail Enamel Bronze 12 Review & NOTD

I love nail paints. And my dream is to get nail paints of every brand in all colors. I know this dream is not going to be true but I still wait for that day. :)

This is the first time I purchased nail enamels from Faces Cosmetics. I got these two little beauties from StyleCraze. I was looking something new to try first I thought of Orly but then my final decision was Faces.

Ofcourse! They were on discount, so picked Bronze 12 and Sparkles 13.

> It comes in a high shine finish formula that applies smoothly and lasts longer.
> Trendy colors brighten up your mood and keep up with the fashion mania.

On first coat it looks like this -->

With second coat it gives the exact color of bronze.

• Two coats dries completely within 5-10 minutes (I'm talking here both hands).

My Shopping Experience With StyleCraze.com

Hello Beauties!

I'm so excited and happy as I received my package from StyleCraze on 24th Jan and I also won the Divassence giveaway. Isn't fantastic.

Sorry for posting this so late. I was busy for few days.

So here is my haul -

You can see how it reached me in the picture below. A cardboard box securely wrapped with vacuumed transparent sheet. 

Beneath the pink paper is my address.

When I opened it I found my bill and each product wrapped with bubble wrap.

Here is the list and the picture of what I got -

Sr No Product Name SKU Unit price(in Rs. ) Quantity Total Cost(in Rs. ) 1 Elle18 Eye Sparklers(colour=Silver Spark) M1E1_00014 77 1 77 2 Faces Nail Enamel (7ml)(7ml)) M1N1_00201 90 1 90 3 Hiphop Skin Care Instant Nail Polish Remover (30wipes) M1N2_0303 64 1 64 4 Faces Nail Enamel (7ml)(7ml)) M1N1_00201 90 1 90 5 Sally Hansen Polish Remover - Strengthening Formula (236ml) M1N2_0302 276 1 276 6 NYX Round Lip Gloss Ballerina Pink M1G1_0230 158 1 158 7 Faces Go Chic Lipstick(colour=F Mulberry Slush) M1L2_0030 178.88 1 178.88 8 Faces Sparkle Dust Stackables - Frolic 256 M1C2_00205 494 1 494

And Yes I didn't order the Acnes face wash sachet. It was free with my purchase. But I think they should give me more samples of other products too. I know am acting so greedy. :P Just a thought.

By the way, I'm so happy that they shipped here because for 15 days I was here to visit my in-laws, they live in small city where usually online shopping sites do not ship. As shopping makes me happy. 

So I mailed StyleCraze and request them to ship here and they agreed. 

Sangram from StyleCraze replied to my mail nicely and assure me that he will ship here through VPP and my package will reach me in one week. Then, I opened their site and signed up. And I started adding products of my choice and checkout with COD option.  And I got my package in 11 days, they took more 2-3 days because of public holidays came between the process. But I'm thankful to them for shipping here.

Finding products in stylecraze.com is damn easy and I also found products which I don't find in my city  like NYX, Sally hansen, Hiphop, etc.

But I also purchased products which I can easily find in my city like Faces, Lakme, etc. just because they were in great discounted price.

They have discount on almost all the products. And they are having 25% sale on NYX products. So tempting na. That's why I got NYX lip gloss.

Let's see its pros and cons :

Pros -

• Free Shipping on minimal purchase of Rs. 250/-.
• Brands are 100% authentic. I've seen and experienced it.
• COD option.
• Discount on almost every product.
• They've return policy within 7 days.
• Shipping within 3 business days. My case was different.
• They ship to small cities too.
• They call to confirm your order within 1 minute after you checkout.
• They also mail to inform about the status of shipping process.

Cons - 

• None. I didn't experience any problem with the site.

Shopping experience with stylecraze was great. I'll shop and take advantage of their sale again. :)


Love,
