Tis the season to wear glitter! December
is everyone’s favourite month of the year isn’t it? Holidays, decorations,
lights, pleasant weather… all things to enjoy. I like these vacations more than
summer vacations because of the weather. At this time of the year, in Mumbai,
its just starting to get cold, its quite lovely and I enjoy going out everyday.
My skin is at its best, aka normal. In contrast, summers are hot and the sun is
unforgiving. I sweat all the time within my house also. But summer has its benefits
too, like bright colors!
December has
festivals and also signals the end of an year, which means parties and
celebrations. What is your must-have accessory for celebrations? Mine is glitter.
Glitter instantly adds more statement to your look, it is also absolutely fun
to play around with.
There is probably no easier way to incorporate glitter in
your look, than by adding it to your nails. Its simple and quickest to do(and
its also a pain to remove, but there is an easy method).
I picked up 3
affordable glitter nail polishes that stood out for me this year. Of course
there are more than just three released this year, but these ones are easily
accessible and economical, compared to the rest. I’ve decided to do mini reviews
and comparisons, just for you!
You can buy these online from Nykaa
See my shopping experience with Nykaa HERE
One notation to keep
in mind: Ease of removal:- 1 indicates that the nail polish is easy to
remove, like any other nail polish, 5 indicates its difficult to remove and
requires the foil method.
You can zoom the
photos upto 60 times to see the nail polish more clearly. (you will end up
seeing my dry cuticles as well, but that’s what happens when you continuously
swatch nail polishes >.<)
1.Maybelline Color
Show Nail Enamel in Velvet Wine:-
Cost: Rs.75
Color: this is not a color I’d normally pick, but I was shopping
online so you can understand. Velvet
Wine seems like that “rani pink” which is over used by a lot of people and
a color that I personally hate for nails but
its actually a deep fuchsia color with silver and fuchsia shimmer. Two
coats makes the color even more deep, leaning towards raspberry pink. The color is between deep fuchsia and
raspberry. It’s the perfect color to wear with indian traditional wear, it will
complement Indian attires and colors beautifully. I have used two coats for
the swatches.
I liked that the vibrancy and shineyness of the nail polish stayed the
same for the entire time I wore it, even after 5 days of wearing it, it
looked freshly put! I experienced tip fading only on the third day, and I wore
it without a top coat. But it made the
whites of my nails yellow, and it has a strong nail lacquer odour.
