Yummy Candy Floss!!! Revlon Popular

Hello Hello!

Back at Monday aren't we?

Remember this song from Jaane Tu..Ya Jaane Naa..

"Hai Muscular, Hai Popular..Spectacular!!"..except this polish is Just Spectacular!

Reminds me of candy floss that would be sold in a fairy land.

Fluffy, light pink sprinkled with silver magic coins! Have a look!!

I goofed up on the stamping. The previous night I was thinking I'll stamp a nice lacey design on this..and bang! next morning I picked up this new plate and made different butterflies.

*dunno why* Plus this was an untested plate and some butterflies squished out *sad*

Base: Revlon Popular

Stamping Plate: XL K

Stamping Polish: Konad Black

I love this polish!! Do you?

Guest Post : Baby Mani! for my friend

Hi,

Recently a fellow blogger and friend Anamika has a new cute little bundle of Joy. ^_^

I wrote a guest post for her with this mani:

Floam Swatch +Nail Art

You know how you really "really" want something in your life and sometimes you get it easy and sometimes you get it the hard way. But the hard somethings are to get, the sweeter the victory.

Yes, Floam was one such polish. I usually dont get so senti-"mental" about not having a polish, but since the first time I had seen swatches of this polish, I was like I have to "have" it. :D

One day my friend and an avid blog stalker Dhara asked me if I wanted anything from US as she had contacted Melissa a nail blogger at The Daily Nail Blog (do visit her blog, she is fab at nail art). Melissa works in India but was planning to go on a short visit back home to US. And she generously agreed to get us our fix of polishes. Though I tried to buy this polish from a webshop, it seemed quite unavailable at the moment. I then contacted the maker this awesome polish Amy from "I'm feeling Nail-venturous" (do check out her blog, she has loads of such fab polishes) and she happily agreed to make me some so Melissa could get them home to us. Thank you Amy and Melissa!!!

Postal delivery usually takes ages in my country with most of the times ending up in lost/stolen packages. Enough Rant. Had to get it out of my system. 

So presenting: Floam

Floam is neon yellow, blue and green hex matt glitter in a clear base.

Its a little thick to apply but doesnt clump together. Above pic is coats of polish over a base of colorbar exclusive 18.

Dance of Floam in the bottle.

It gives an incredible depth to your nails, almost 3-D.

Base: Floam

Stamping Plate: Konad M83

Stamping Polish: Konad Black

Are you drooling over Floam?

Review of Jabong.com

Hi,

I'd like to share something I recently brought from Jabong.com

Now if you are thinking why I am reviewing a website instead of polish, let me tell you I am not under the influence of ermmm ...anything. Nor are you cause you are reading correct.

I was approached by the site Jabong.com to review the site. Its a recently opened website in Indian online shopping scene which is now bursting with online stores.

While I was provided a discount coupon to shop for something to review, I was going through their site one evening thinking which polish I should choose or maybe I should choose some hand and cuticle cream as my cuticles had taken a beating after traveling around for a few days.

The site is pretty easy to navigate and well categorized. Has loads of categories of items to shop ranging from clothes, to shoes, to home stuff, jewelry/accessories, to bags and fragrances.

I couldnt decide and I thought maybe tomorrow will help me decide better.

Next day somehow all cosmetics and furniture items from the website had been taken off..much to my surprise I kept searching and finally asked the PR who told me they are "off" at the moment. No other reason was given. So around midnight I selected these Lotto slip ons and put my order through.

*at the time of publishing this review I can again see beauty/cosmetic items on the site* :-/

Now I am usually not that easy to impress especially by online websites. But one thing I was totally impressed with was the timing off the delivery. Had things gone their way they would have given me the parcel in 24 hours!!!!

I placed my order around midnight and got a confirmation call early next day morning. In the evening I got another call from their local delivery management guys saying that my package will land in mumbai at 10.30 pm and they were willing to deliver at my place by 11. I was impressed and shocked!! Impressed by the speed and handling of my order and shocked that they were willing to deliver even if though it was so late. So I politely told them I wouldnt want to wake other people sleeping in my house and I was happy to take it next day around 9am.

Next morning at 9 am, they promptly delivered my package and confirmed with me on phone that my package has reached me fine. So I signed for the package and expected the delivery guy to leave. He stood at my doorstep and said he would like me to open the package and check it. And he was willing to take it back if I was not happy about it. I am telling you I was quite impressed with this kind of service. I have read a few horrible stories about some websites not delivering for a couple of months and to say the least, some had broken articles. I received my package promptly and in good condition.

I hope everyone has such a good experience with Jabong.com

*as mentioned before I was provided a discount coupon to review this site, however the opinions are my own*

Alternate Nails + Konad M83 Stamping Nail Art

Hi,

Hows your week so far? Mine is pretty boring except that I some of the stuff I had shopped earlier has reached me. Haul post coming up soon!! :D

Today's post is quite short. 

So Enjoy the pics!!

Base: Golden-green Polish in Sandy-matt finish

Stamping Plate: Konad M83

Stamping Colour: Konad Pearl Blue and Red

I feel this design has more of an indian touch to it...something that is widely used in Indian textile printing. Quite suitable for marriage/functions with a metallic base as the one I used.

Todays post is about as cute as cute can get!!

Hello Kitty!!

or as a niece calls it: Kitty Kitty!!

I got these decals to review from the born pretty store.

The best part about this nail art is its superrrr easyyyy and quick.

 Base: a Matt finish polish in bright pink (sandy finish)

They cost $4.73 and come with free shipping and one sheet has 11 different designs (see here). 

I got mine in a months time. The store has an awesome variety of nail and other make up stuff.

Just cut out the decals put them in water for about 10-20 secs..pull out the paper base. Now place them on a dry base polish and apply top coat.

Thats it you are ready to go!!

For my lovely readers BornPrettyStore has given me a discount coupon you can use till 9th Sept:
