Glitter Pens Nail Art technique!

I'm extremely sorry fro not posting the previous week, I was a bit busy with my exams and stuff, and I won't be posting again next week for the same reason. Apologies. 

I know, that there are a lot of people who cannot do nail art properly, even with the stripers and dotting tools and other equipment. Nor can I, but I've seen people doing trying out weird things on their nails with the striper, but ending it at something totally out of the world(And I mean it in a bad sense). But as far as I know, nail art requires lot of patience, and PRACTICE to master the usage of all the equipment properly to make intricate patterns on your nails, and not all of us can do that right?

Instead of going to the beauty Salon just to get a nail art for a special occasion or such done, you can do it at home, without using any of those equipments! All you need is your normal nail polishes, base coat, top coat and some funky glitter pens!

So start off with a base coat to protect your natural nails from any hazardous elements that might be used in the nail polish. Now paint your nails with a suitable color of nail polish. Try to choose a color which goes well with the shades of glitter pens you have chosen. For example: If you're taking black polish as the base nail polish(Not the base coat. Base polish is the one on which you'll do your nail art), use Silver, Golden and fluorescent shades, so it is vibrant and easily visible.

Once you're done applying the base polish, let it dry for a while. Then, take your glitter pens, and start drawing the designs and patterns you want to! Make sure you use in a lot of glitter work, since the top coat will remove quite a bit. Wait for a moment, before applying the top coat. Alternatively, you can also dip your fingers in ice water, to dry them, though I have no idea if it works on the glitter gel pen work.

Now slowly apply the top coat over it. Make sure you apply only one coat of it, since it smudges the glitter a bit. Using a lot of top coat may lead to total removal of the glitter work OR total smudging of it.

And there, you are ready with your nail art!

Do NOT forget the top coat, or else you'll be giving a touch of glitter to everything you take in your hands. If you want the nail art only for few hours, then it's alright if you don't apply the top coat.

That's it for this nail art technique. I hope you use it and find it easy to do.

Lakme Lip Love

I love lip balms. And that is why I have like about 4 of them which I use regularly, and a few which I don't use anymore. I'm obsessed with buying lip balms, and that is why, I got Lakme Lip Love for myself. I wanted to buy it ever since I saw the advertisement for it when I was at Cafe Coffee Day having a small snack. So today's blog post is dedicated to Lakme's Lip Love.

Lakme Lip Love is a dual core lip balm, the inner core offering superior moisturisation to your lips. It is apparently, the first of it's kind in India, and I won't deny this, since this is the first time I saw something like this too. It contains SPf-15 that protects your lips from sun damage..

The flavor that I have is the Cherry one. There are 4 flavors available in Lakme Lip Love- Vanilla, Peach, Strawberry and Cherry. 

I'd like to say I absolutely love this lip balm. The dual core makes it look attractive, and it is effective as well. Cherry goes well with my lips, and enhances my casual look. At the same time, it also makes the chic party look look natural and not overdone. In simple words, it goes well with anything, and makes your look natural. 

I find the packaging pretty cute and attractive(but then again, I find all lip balms attractive so...). Mine is in a red, cherry colored, cylindrical lip balm container, with the wirds, Lip Love engraved on it in a cursive-ish font. 

The application, goes like any normal lip balm we use. Twist it, till the core is in your view, and swipe it across your lips smoothly, and apply as per your wish. 

The cost of Lakme Lip Love is INR 200, and I got it for INR 180, because I bought it from the Official Lakme dealers. I'm sure this will be available at all local stores soon. If you need this sooner, you can always find an official store.. 

That's it for Lakme Lip Love. I hope this review helped you. For me, I'd say everyone SHOULD try this !
