My Nykaa New Matte Shades Launch :

White Chocolate
Almond Crumble
S'Mores Milkshake
Pink Meringue
Blueberry
Cool Blue Granita
Blueberry Frosting
Lavender Panna

What Brand Says: The Nykaa Matte Nail Polish Collection is Five Free means free from chemicals like toluene, DBP, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor. It is not tested on animals (just on our team!) and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Out of 12 shades I picked up two - Pink Meringue & Black Cherry Pie. I really liked how they've named them like chocolate, frosting, milkshakes, pie etc..

Texture & Consistency 

Pink Meringue : This is such a beautiful baby pink shade. It is the light shade which streaks on while application, though it's opaque but single coat is not enough to get that perfect finish. It has really thick consistency but one has to be really quick with the application because it dries fast (within seconds) into matte texture which makes it difficult to take off the streaky lines once set, further it takes 3-4 mins to completely dry in matte form. See swatches below:

Black Cherry Pie : This is named as black cherry but it is dark deep maroon shade which is extremely gorgeous for upcoming fall season. It has really thin consistency which spreads easily without streaking your nails, though it's opaque but I love to apply two coats to get that superb matte finish. Impressive! I think dark shades won't streak as compare to lighter ones. Check out swatches below:

Staying Power : Talking about the staying power, regular Nykaa nails paints range have stayed on quite well for more than a week, these matte collection stays well for the entire week and finish is super classy I must say!

Final Verdict : The 12 newly launch Nykaa Matte Collection have light to darker shades for upcoming fall season 2016. These have very impressive matte texture, I've become a fan of such splendid matte nail paints. One has to be really quick with the application in order to avoid streaky lines because it sets very fast. If you're on budget & want to try nail paints that have completely matte feel then you should try at least one shade from this range. Highly Recommended!

GC Rating : 4.7/5

Stay Quirky August Edition French Manicure Nail Polish : Review, Price & Swatches

Hi girls,

Hope you all are doing well! Today I'm going to talk about Stay Quirky nail polish August edition french manicure kit review! I subscribed to this on Instagram few days back. What intrigued me to subscribe this box is the launch of 3 exclusive manicure tip nail paints, base coat, gel finish top coat, free goodie ( stay quirky nail polish remover ) and the most importantly personalisation on the bottles caps with your name etched on it, isn't it sounds interesting. Read on to find out nitty gritty of the box:

Price : Rs 500/-

Quantity : 6 ml

Subscription box includes : 3 exclusive manicure tip nail polish, Base coat, Gel finish top coat & free goodie -Stay quirky nail polish remover.

My take on the product :

I came to know about this brand last year through Instagram, very glad to try out there huge variety of nail paints. Coming to this box, I'm super impressed with these. When I came to know about august subscription box without any second thought I placed my order. I'm pleased with it!

Three of the tip manicure nail polish have been etched with my blog name - GlamChica, the gel finish top coat & base coat have been etched with my name- Aashima. I found this process is so cute & elegant!

Talking about the staying power, they stays fairly long more than a week without any chirping ( saying this based on my past experience with other shades of this brand ), will update you if any chirpiness I found in between.

 Now let me show you all the 3 exclusive tip shade- french manicure nail art :

Shade #1 - Yellow : This is the shade I've tried for the first time & I love this so much, opaque in a single coat but my preference is to apply double coat to get that finish. Enjoy the pics below:

Shade #2 - White : This is the typical white french manicure nails, my all time favourite!

Shade #3 - Baby Pink : This is the another new shade I've tried, Pink :). It is slightly sheer in consistency but two coats gives you opaque finish. See the pics below:

The Stay Quirky nail polish base coat & gel top coat has equally impressed me. You could see very less difference between white & baby pink in the pictures but in person it is easily noticeable.

Final Verdict : I would definitely recommend you to try out Stay Quirky exclusively launched french manicure kit. They are outstandingly admirable nail polish, budgeted & have matchless variety of other shades, exclusively available on purplle.com . Thrilled by there performance, highly recommend to all the nail lovers.  Go grab your shades soon before they get out of stock!

GC Rating : 5/5
