NOTD! by Golden Rose Nail Polish # 65

Happy Valentines Day to you all!

As today is 14th Feb i.e, Valentine's Day, I thought of sharing a red NOTD today. Its nothing fancy nothing special just a simple plain red nail polish which has been my favorite color for the past month.

Lets have a look:
In sunlight.

Brand: Golden Rose
Shade: # 65. It is a gorgeous shade of scarlet red with pretty specks of shimmer in it. It looks  extremely gorgeous and gives an effect of nail foils. Wish it had a name =(
Price: Around Rs. 130 to 150. I got mine from Chase.
Finish: As I said it gave an effect of having nail wraps on my nails so definitely it gives a beautiful metallic shine.
Staying power: AWESOME!! I wore this for almost 10 to 11 days and it stayed pretty good with only slight color fading from the ends. And if I had some Top coat on then probably I did not had this complain =]
Formula: Its good. Neither thick and neither thin. Pigmentation was superb as well. The brush I felt was slightly shorter ( I compared it to Sweet Touch Nail polish brush)

In love with the color, texture, finish and everything of this nail polish. This is the first nail polish or in fact first cosmetic item that I have tried from Golden Rose. Will be purchasing more of their nail colors. They have got a good variety of gorgeous shades.

Hope you liked it.

Lipstick by Clarity Cosmetics # 316.

Hey <3
The lipstick I am reviewing today is one of those colors which I have never tried before. Its a bold color and  I have stuck religiously to Pinks and Corals ever since I started wearing make up. Reds and Browns never suited me until I tried this:

AND finally this is how it looks on me!! =]

This is actually a lipstick given to my mum but she doesn't wear such bright colors so I thought of trying that out. And I really liked how it looked on me.

About the product:
Brand: Clarity Cosmetics
Shade: No names unfortunately =( but its shade # 316. A deep strawberry kinda shade.
Availability: Easily available as its a local brand.
Finish: Creme-y. As you can see in the picture it does have a slight glossy finish. I am not wearing any gloss or balm. Its just the lipstick alone and i LOVE the fact that it does not contain even the tiniest hint of shimmer or glitter.
Staying Power: Not very impressive. Stayed for just about 3 hrs approx on me.
Formula: Moisturizing :)

Overall, I am happy that now I could even wear a red shade on lipstick without looking a crap =P

Planning to wear it a lot in the winter season. I think its a pretty fall-ish color.

Do you agree??
Let me know please =)
xoxo.

NOTD! Medora Nail polish # 24.

Hey!
Before, i had a very silly misconception that red color nails were only meant for our Paki brides...LOL! =P
I had always been skeptical of how red nail polish would look on me and one day i gathered up the courage to get one for my own and actually apply it. And i was happy how it looked and proud that i did not choose wrong color. Although bright/ orangey reds are always a NO-NO for me. This is a deep red which i LOVE immensely. I have  used 2 bottles of this nail color!!! See how much i love it and wear it...i don't care whether it'll go with my outfit or no =D.
Lets have a look: 
(although in pics it is showing up as a bright red but trust me it is 1 or 2 shades darker in real life)

Brand: Medora (one of the oldest and famous brand of Pakistan)
Shade: # 24 ( wish they had specific names for their products =(, well it is a deep scarlet red and is extremely gorgeous)
Price: i believe it is around Rs 50 or 60,although i got mine last year for rs. 40
Availability: easily available across the country
Finish: Creme-y and highly pigmented
Staying Power: stays for a good amount of time - 3 4 days without any wear off.
Formula: Pretty manageable.

Overall its a good nail polish for the price. Good color, good quality and good staying power. What else do you want?

Hope you enjoyed!

xoxo.
