8 ml for INR 159

Company Says: - 

Salon-quality, high shine formula lasts up to 10 days. Fortified with acrylic. Precision brush. 7 days of lasting shine.

Carnival Colors Range is available in 6 candy shades:

* Loving Lavender

* Orange Creamsicle- The one being reviewed 

* Sweet Mint

* Fuchsia Fun

* Aqua Fantasy

* Blue Escape

  

Ingredients: - Not Listed

My Opinion: - As you all know, I love creme polishes and I love neon shades. When I saw this neon orange creme shade, I was head over heels in love with it. This shade belongs to the Carnival Color Range from the August- September Catalogue last year. These 6 shades are unfortunately discontinued as I have not seen them in the latest catalogues.

              The bottle is sqaurish with a black plastic cap. The nail paint is thin and runny and does not smell much. I love when I do not get this strong chemical scent. First coat gives a sheer coverage, second coat gives a streaky finish and a third coat is needed for full opacity and even look. The brush is good enough and gives even and smooth finish.

                This pretty neon orange nail polish lasts for many days but I kept it on for 6 days only as I don't like to keep my nails painted for more than 6 days but stayed for 10 days on my toes (gross???) Yes I know but I had to test its 12 days claim. This shade stays glossy for about 4-5 days after which I have to top it up with gloss. It is easy to take off this nail paint and does not stain my nails. This shade is very apt for the summers, its so juicy, so bright, so pretty. I love it as it reminds me of orange Popsicle/creamsicle (yummmm)

Pro: -


* Lovely Bright Summery shade <3

* Orange is in and its big for this summer

* Creme Shade <3

* Easy to apply and easy to remove

* No strong chemical smell



Cons: -


* Available only through Avon Representatives

* Discontinued (Limited Edition)



                 I rate Avon Nailwear Pro Nail Enamel in Orange Creamsicle 4.75 out of 5. I truly hope that Avon brings back this super pretty summery shade and include it in their regular nail polish range. Highly recommended for this summer.

3 Rock & Romance Shades-

My Opinion: - Nail polishes are included in each & every haul I make. This Avon Nailwear Pro+ Nail Enamel in the Shade Noir Emerald is from the Shimmer Collection and I bought it when it was launched some months back with other Avon products. I am a fan of Blue and Green Nail Polishes and grab them whenever I find one.

                 The nail polish comes in a squarish kind of bottle with a not so long black plastic cap. The brush is of good quality and does not give streaky finish. The shade of this Noir Emerald is a blackened emerald with strong blue undertones. Also it has green and blue very finely milled shimmer. This shade Noir Emerald is one of the 8 shimmery finish Nail Polishes. As claimed by the brand, this nail paint is color true, looks same on my nails and in the bottle. Does not fade or lightens with time.

                The first coat gives medium coverage and the second coat gives full opacity. But I prefer applying a third coat full added depth and density. It stays on the nails for 6 days without chipping and with minimal fading around the tips. .The brush is fine and does not leaves brush marks or streaks and gives even application. The polish is runny and does not smell much which I like.

                   This shade Noir Emerald is not for everyday wear and is apt for parties or evenings out. Would not give your hands a professional and polished look if worn to office/school. This is a fun color apt for fun loving girls who love greens and blue. But it is a very wearable green I must say. I never wear the same shade for more than 5-6 days at a stretch and remove it on the 6th day so I removed without testing the 12 days claim made by the brand. It came off easily with nail polish remover and didn't take much time to come off. This polish didn't stain my nails. I have been a fan of this range and I have many more shades to review in the coming weeks.



Pros: -

* Lasts for a week, I take off polish every 5-6 days and this one stayed for 6 days till I took it off

* Easy to take off

* Easy to apply

* Good quality brush gives streak-free finish

* Bright, jewel toned green with blue & green shimmer. very lovely shade

* Decently priced I would say considering the quality



Cons: -

* Availability, only available through Avon Representatives



             I rate  Avon Nailwear Pro+ Nail Enamel in the shade Noir Emerald 4.5 out of 5. I love this beautiful shade in blackened green with blue & green shimmers, its truly named Noir Emerald. Recommended to all blue & green nail paint fanatics. A must try girlies :D

My Opinion: - I haven't reviewed any concealer in a long time in BDI. So today I shall put forward my views on Chambor Radiant Concealer in the shade 03. The packaging is very innovative, a fat navy blue (nearly black)  pen with a click-it knob at a one end and a white brush at the other end. Very travel-friendly since its sleek and slim. This shade is a tad bit darker for my skin tone but has yellow undertones and shade 01 was not available and shade 02 has pink undertones.

                     The brush needs to be cleaned after every use with wet wipe. Also the brush drinks up a lot of product and these two factors leads to a big wastage of product. The brush is white, soft and silky. Now coming to the click-it knob, I had to click the knob more than 20 times on the first time usage. Later on 2 to 3 clicks are good enough to get the required quantity of product on the brush tip.

                    This concealer gives medium coverage and is easy to blend into the skin. It covers my light under-eye circles but works better on spots and other imperfections. The attached brush is decent enough for blending but I use it on the go, otherwise I prefer to use a fluffy brush to blend in the concealer. The concealer is fragrant-free according to me as my nose was not able to pick up any scent.

                    This concealer is light weight  somewhere between a cream and a lotion. It dries to a powder finish and I need to work fast as it dries up very soon. Though this concealer is dry type, it didn't tugged or pulled and stretched my under-eye area. I need to apply a under-eye cream for the concealer to work better on the area around my eyes. I set it with a loose powder and it stays on the whole day, until I take it off myself. I use a primer underneath it as it creased up a little toward 6 hrs of wear when used without a primer. Since the pen is opaque it is difficult to find out how much product is left in it.A great concealer but not my HG.

Pros: -


* Easily available

* Blends easily

* Blurs out imperfections and covers my undereye circles effectively

* Attached brush is good for girls like me who are mostly on the go

* Innovative pen packaging, sleek & slim

* Travel-friendly

* Long lasting

* Dries to a matte and powdery finish



Cons: -


* Pricey for the quantity (3 ml)

* Opaque pen does not show the amount left in it

* Under-eye area needs to be moisturised well or it might get difficult to blend




                    I rate Chambor Radiant Touch Up Concealer in the shade 03, 4.25 out of 5. Not for dry skinned beauties. But recommended for girlies with light circles. A good concealer from Chambor, I like it a lot.
