NOTD: Bling Bling nails

Let me confess , I am not a Pro when it comes to nail art. But I love to practice my nail art skills when ever I get enough time from household chores and a toddler who keeps me occupied all the time. Nail art needs a lot of practice and patience and I am the impatient babe for sure.
I always look for something easier to apply on my nails and make them look festive and bling-y.
I had to attend a close friend's wedding , so I did this nail art yesterday.

 

1. Nail Art Glitter Round Hexagon sheet:

For this nail art, I used the Beautyuk nail polish and nail glitter hexagon round ones and snowflake and a cute bow rhinestoned nail decoration. I just applied two coats of nail polish and while it was still wet decorated my nails with glitters and these metal decorations. Is not it that easy?

 I love these nail glitters. It comes in a plastic lid jar and contains a lot of product. They shifts colors and gives beautiful rainbow effect in sunlight. You can buy these here.

2. Skull Bow Rhinestone nail art decoration wheel:

It comes in a decoration wheel which is very practical in storing these nail art articles individually. It has 10 pcs of metal and rhinestones nail art pieces. It has bows, skulls, snowflakes, key and crown which is decorated with rhinestones and pearls both in silver and gold finish. My favorite ones are skulls and bows. These are easy to apply and stick with wet nail polish or top coat. You can use nail art adhesive for more secure application, but I did not feel the urge to do so.

You can buy this Here from bornprettystore.com . They have a wide range of nail art supplies and  other beauty products. They have offered an exclusive discount for my blog readers so go and grab yourself some fabulous products and bargain prices.

NOTD: Christine nail polish

Hey girls , today i am wearing a christine nail polish on my nails. I have this nail colour in my stash for past few months and i am in love with it.

Its a duo chrome burnt purple and have red and bronze specks in it. It looks beautiful in day lights. The colour is very hard to capture with my silly camera . The picture below is taken in sun light , you can see how beautiful it looks. I have applied two coats here , without any top or base coat.

The shade number is doubtful as i have lost its label which had the shade number on it. But it was 96 or 94 number , this is what i could remember.

This particular shade is very classy and elegent. Its a mysterious kind of colour which looks different in certain lights.

Christine Cosmetics are very popular among Pakistani girls due to their affordable prices. I personally like their nail lacquers because they have a variety of colours and have a decent quality too.
Price & Availability :
Christine Nail colours are available nationwide for Rs. 60 - 80 (less than 1$ )

What are you wearing on your nails right now ? Do you own christine nail colours , what do you like about these ? Share your thoughts with me :)

I started blogging back in April 2011 , in the start , i did not have any idea what i am supposed to do. Today , i have got too much appreciation and support from my lovely readers. Thank you all for this.
I wanted to end this year with a bling nail art post. lets have a look what i am wearing on my nails , shall we ?

I wanted to bling up my nails for new year's eve , that is why i decorated my nails with rhinestones , a silver foil polish looks better with rhinestones.

i applied 3 coats of christine nail polish in 174. It is a silver foil nail shade.  I love christine nail lacquers because they are affordable and have a vast collection of nail colors . This particular shade is sheer , and needs to apply 3 coats to get opaque finish.

These rhinestones were sent to me by meliney.com , it is a small pot of rhinestones which consists of different designs and patterns of rhinestones and pearls in different sizes. Lets have a look at this pot filled with cuteness :

NOTD : Luscious nail lacquer in glazed berry stamped with gold !!

Hi girls ,
I stamped my nails few days before using nail art stamping kit ( mentioned here ) . I applied two coats of Luscious cosmetics nail lacquer in glazed berry , and stamped it with a Medora Nail polish in golden shade 366. I also used this Medora nail polish HERE as a base color.  Here is the final result :

Glazed berry is a gorgeous maroon shade by luscious cosmetics , one of the leading cosmetics brand of Pakistan. I bought this nail lacquer last year from their website. It is one of my favorite nail lacquer during festive season. It became very thick , so i added a few drops of nail polish remover in it to revive it. Now it is back to the normal condition. I am so happy :)

I feel really ashamed of myself that i could not take many pictures of this nail art. My camera's battery was drained out that time ..!!

I am still in a learning phase when it comes to nail art stamping ,It is my latest addiction , you will get more nail art stamping posts in the coming days :) stay tuned !!

NOTD : Dotty Dots nail art !!

Hey girls , i hope that you all will be enjoying holidays at the moment. Today i am going to share an easy way to decorate your nails at home. I am aware of this fact that most of the girls here in Pakistan are unable to go to expensive nail salons and get a nail art for them. I have used a simple technique here , which you all can try at home . Lets take a look :

I am loving the effect i got in the end , it is very funky and cute . What do you say ?

Black is my favorite nail color in winter and this is the easiest way to jazz up a black nail polish.


DIY at home :
start applying a base coat on your nails and let it completely dry . Apply a base color. I applied two coats of Glamorous Faces Black nail color here. let it dry completely otherwise you will get it ruin. Pour one or two drops of desired nail color on a plastic sheet and pick it up using a tooth pick. Apply dots randomly all over your nails . You are free to choose any color and size of dots according to your choice.
I used 4 different nail colors for dots here :

1. Picture Polish Nail color in Tango
2. Aqua Nail color in Blue
3. Nailtiques nail color in Red 
4. Christine nail color in Silver

Finish off using a top coat. Here is the final result :

NOTD : Femina Nail Color in Teal

Hey girls , i have tried a new nail color brand Femina Cosmetics. I have heard so many good thing about their nail colors and eye shadows . I was in search of a pretty teal nail color and i was delighted to see that Femina has a very good collection of vibrant nail colors. I bought this nail color for Rs. 90 Pkr . I applied two coats of this nail color without any top or base coat. Take a look how it looks on my nails :

its original teal color , its remind me of peacocks !!

The teal color is very happening and it has a metallic finish which i am loving the most. It dries quickly and consistency is medium unlike other nail colors of this brand which i tried at the cosmetics shop.

Its applicator is just average . Thats why you can see a little mess around my nail bed.

Its color number is given below can you see this its F-1307:

I am planning to get a few more shades from Femina nail colors . Its packaging is cute too.

Jumping towards cons and pros :

Pros : 

• Affordable
• metallic finish
• consistency is good
• vibrant colors
• available at cosmetic stores easily

Cons :

•  Applicator is not so good
• not long lasting

Have you tried Femina nail colors before ? Share your thoughts and views with me . I heart your comments :)

Best Beauty buys under Rs.100

Hey girls , yesterday i was re arranging my make up stuff , and there i got an idea of this post. I have so many things that are good and budget friendly too, why should not i share these with my readers ??? I know that many of Pakistani girls still cannot afford to buy expensive products . I dedicate this post to my Pakistani girls out there :)
 i have selected some products for you  i like them most and you can buy them without any hassle. Prices are all under Rs. 100. And you can find them easily at any cosmetic store nearby. Have a look :

1. Acne care oil control face wash with neem extracts by SKIN CARe - Rs. 75
2. Aqua Nail color in 775 - Rs. 75 ( Read review )
3. Enchant Lip Gloss Balm in Cherry flavor - Rs. 95
4. Sweet touch sparkling nail color - Rs. 99 ( Read review )
5. Marlin Nail Colors - Rs. 80
6. Christine Glitter eye pencil in emarald green - Rs. 55
7. Davis glitter pencil in green - Rs. 90
8. Becute Lipstick - Rs. 95
9. Femina Lip Pencil - Rs. 60

Now take a closer  look at these :

1. Acne care oil control face wash with neem extracts by SKIN CARE :

 I bought this facewash when i was on a trip and realized that i forgot to put any facewash in my bag . I bought it as i am familiar with its brand Skin care . I used it for few days and i think it is a great substitute for soap . So girls stop using soap to wash your face and try this economical facewash . It has neem extracts and gives a very fresh feeling after washing. Keeps you under control , but i am in doubt of its acne care part , as i did not use it that much anyhow I like this !!

 what i do not like :  there is no ingredients list on it. They should include the ingredients list.

2. Aqua Nail Color in 775 :

I have done a NOTD post with this nail color earlier , you can read that here. In short, its packaging is cute, color intensity is great, just one coat needed and it goes opaque. No chipping for three days . The color itself is best for the summers. It is my most favorite nail color this summer. I bought mine from Millenium mall, Karachi

3. Enchant Lip Gloss Balm in Cherry Flavor. 

I bought this lip balm in winter season . It sooths your lips and keeps them moisturzed with a sweet flavor of cherry. its very sheer , just gives a hint of pink color on your lips . Smells delicious but the smell does not stays longer.  I use it before applying liquid lipsticks which can cause dryness on lips. It was available in Mango , Strawberry and other flavors too.

4. Sweet touch sparkling nail color :

I love glittery sparrkling nail colors , they looks really festive on nails . Sweet touch cosmetics has a very good quality sparkling nail colors . I have reviewed one in my earlier NOTD post . You can check it out here . They are easy to apply , needs three coats to achieve the opaque look. and does not chips off for three days.
What i donot like : hard to remove just like any other glittery nail colors.

6. Marlin Nail Colors :

i applied two coats here

Marlin cosmetics is a relatively new brand in Pakistan , I have tried two of their nail colors and lipsticks . I like their nail colors . They offers great shades, from pinks to corals , and from reds to blues. Each shade has a number specified to it. The consistency is quit thin , normally i apply three coats of it . The formula is not long wearing on nails so it starts chipping after on or two days.


6. Christine Glitter Eyepencil :

Christine cosmetics offers some very good quality products to its costumers. I have its glitter pencil in green emarald color . And its super creamy , easily glides on eyes and stays put on. It has glitters in it , that is why it looks really glamorous . Available in various colors . I am in love with this pencil. It really makes my brown eyes looks interesting . I also use it sometimes on my waterline just to gives a hint of green and it also stay there .

7. Davis Glitter Eyeshadow Pencils :

These Davis glitter pencils are easily available in the market, These are jumbo size pencils which have glitters in it . They are available in vareity of colors. Use it as a eyeshadow or use it just as an eyeliner , it looks good on eyes. I do not like the amount of glitter present in these pencils . The glitter is hard to remove from the eyes even after washing with soap or any makeup remover.

8. Becute Lipsticks :

Becute cosmetics is very popular brand among Pakistani girls , It offers some great lippies .Their lippies are available for Rs. 95 at Chase departmental store, Karachi. I have few of them , they are creamy in texture, longlasting and have some gorgeous shades. What i do not like about these lipsticks is their smells . It smells like some bees wax or something like plastics .

9. Femina Lip Pencil :

Femina lip pencils are easy to apply and have some gorgeous shades to choose from. THey are creamy and longlasting too.I like them alot , Unfortunately i forgot to take its solo picture , i will upload it later, you can see it in my first pic ( in the most left corner )

What are your favorite budget friendly products ? Share your favorites with me , I love reading your comments :)

Yours truly ,
