NOTD- Avon Simply Pretty

Hello Beauties, This time I have come up with this NOTD because I wasn't feeling like doing nail art.
I have got the shade "Glitter Gold" from the Avon Simply pretty range. I like this Simply Pretty range because there are lots of pretty shades to choose & are reasonable priced,sometimes these are available at 30 & 50% discount. I wanted a nice color to go along with my party salwar kameezs with golden zari or thread work & I grabbed this while it was on discount. The reason I get these small bottles is because I can finish these fast & try other colors at reasonable price.I have applied 2 coats & this is how it looks.



What does Avon claim about this nail color: Provides excellent coverage with intensive color effect.


Price: Actual Rs.55 for 5ml got it for Rs.33 when the offer " buy 3 Nail colors for Rs.100 INR" was running. I guess!


Reasons why I adore this range:
1. Approximately 39 shades to choose from.
2. Thin brush which provides an even application.
3. 2-3 coats are just enough to get a great color.
4. Lasts for 4-5 days without chipping, the color just tends to wear out after sometime.
5.It's not very thick & dries fast.
6. Most of the times available on discount.


Reasons why I abhor this range:
1. Has that strong nail polish smell, I guess it has those Big-3 components( Toluene, Formaldehyde & Dibutyl Phtalate)










Will I reccomend this ?  Yes I will, if you want to try lots of colors at affordable price, then you should definitely get these!

Simple Nail art for Beginners

Hello Girls, I'm back with a simple nail art that any beginner can try! I found my work to be little clumsy today but I still wanted to share it.
This is how I did the nail art.
1. Apply base coat & paint your nails with your favourite color I used Avon's Juicy Plum shade.
2. Take paint brush number 00 or bindi brush & start drawing line to make it look like a Chamomile flower on the ring finger. I'm not doing it on all fingers because I felt it would either look garish or OTT.
3. After making the flower, I placed a dark purple rhinestone in the middle of the flower to complete the look. Apply a top coat & you are done.




So Girls, Hope you like this. Do give it a try because you won't need many tools to do this. Its very simple :))

Avon color dual ended collection- Eye



Hello Beauties, Today I'm going to review the Avon dual ended collection which is created by Jillian Dempsey - Avon's Global creative color Director.
 Jillian Dempsey is a Hollywood Make up Artist, her handiwork has been published in Allure, Esquire,Elle, Vanity Fair& Marie Claire.
The dual collection is available for eyes & lips. The Eye collection has a combination of eye shadow & liquid liner & the Lip collection has a combination of Lipstick & Lip gloss. 
The Eye collection is available in 3 shades- Spring Green/Metallic brown, Passionate Rose/ Passionate Plum, Silver/Metallic Blue. 
I got the Silver/Metallic Blue shade.



How to apply the eye collection: Apply the eyeshadow starting from the inner corner of your lid towards the outer. Line your eyes with the liner along the lash line and blend in the eyeshadow.


Price : Rs. 299. I got this at Rs. 199 under the special introductory price last month.

My Experience with dual eye collection: I like the eyeliner, its a nice color & stays for few hours, but this isn't a waterproof eyeliner, so if one sweats excessively & rubs it, it will just come off. The color of the eye liner is Metallic Blue & looks lovely on the eyes. The eye shadow turned out to be  a dud, it just disappears within few minutes, so I just don't feel the need to apply it, it's a mere waste. All in all, the only best part about the dual eye collection is the liquid liner.

Will I repurchase or recommend it : Absolutely not, it is not at all a  must have collection.
