Oriflame Pure Color Nail Polish Intense Pink

As you all know that I got Oriflame pure color nail polish during my oriflame haul. The shade I got is intense pink. I must say the color is really intense and I love this shade of pink.

Catalogue says - Glossy, high shine nail polish in a huge range of exciting shades. Gorgeous finish, fantastic colours – and what’s more, it’s unbelievable value.


Price - 149/- for 8ml. Discounted price - 129/-

Have a look at it's fat and fluffy brush. As you can see that brush takes a lot of color at a time. So here is the tip when you apply the nail paint from this brush use a light hand.


15 shades available which comprise of Baby Pink, Clover Haze, Nude Pink, Intense Pink, Purple Pink, Pearly Purple, Dark Purple, Burgundy, Coral Red, True Red, Passion Red, Dark Brown, Pearly beige, Natural bronze, and Light silver.
All the information written on bottom of nail paint.

This is the single coat of intense pink, so I didn't apply the next coat because the first coat was sufficient to show color -

Pros -
  • Amazing bright shades.
  • Staying power is 6-7 days.
  • Dries within 2-3 mins.
  • Quality is really good.
  • It has glossy finish.


Cons -
  • I'm not saying that brush is not good but somehow I feel it's too fluffy than normal.



Rating - 4.5/5

I'll recommend it to you girls. Coral red and nude pink is on my shopping list. :)

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,
