Top Base Coats and Top Coats available in India and affordable Abroad

Hello, this is Aadhya here today. I am going to be showing you 'Top 2 Base Coats and Top Coats (Matte also)' available in India and some affordable one's available abroad. A nail artist's struggle is always to find a proper Base Coat and Top Coat. And with Indian's getting more into nail art I thought why not make it easier for everybody. I'm going to be starting with the Top 2 Base Coats available in India: . 1. The first one is by Health and Glow, Nail Envy Base Coat. This one appears white in the bottle but is completely transparent when you apply it on your nails. I used this for more than two years now, and it completely prevents your nail from staining on any type of polish. It retails Rs. 45 INR but I think it's available only in selected outlets. The only downside of this base coat is that it becomes all dried and slithery and very difficult to apply once you get to the bottom of the bottle.  Ratings out of 10:  8 2. The second one is the ...

OPI - Passport to Color | Swatches & Review

  I got the OPI - Passport to Color set of polishes at the Colombo airport. Its become a thing now, for me, to buy OPI polishes abroad. I actually went to the OPI stall to get some full sized polishes but when I saw these, it made so much sense to get a set 6 polishes for 35$ (not sure about the price, I forgot how much I got these for, sorry) than just 1 or 2 for pretty much the same price there. So this particular one has 6 polishes (In Order : Passion, Tickle My France-y, Charged Up Cherry, Cajun Shrimp, Malaga Wine, Lincoln Park After Dark) each having about 375ml or 1/8 fluid ounces of product in them. All the colors having pretty much the same opacity except for Charged-Up Cherry, its the only color that doesn't need 2 coats. All the polishes chipped in about a day's time without topcoat. My favourite ones are Tickle My France-y, Malaga Wine, Lincoln Park After Dark. The only colour that disappointed me so much was the first colour, Passion! Its the least opaque and ap...

All about the Peel Off Base

Hello guys, this following post is by Aadhya. Peel off barrier and base coat are now on the trend. You can buy them as well as make them yourself. Here I'm going to be showing you some tips to make your own Peel off base coat/ barrier and also show you how to get them dry within minutes! Things you will be needing to make the Peel off Base coat/ Barrier. 1. Any school glue, I've used Fevicol here. 2. Water ( A must ) 3. A pipette or ink dropper. 4. An empty polish bottle. Add the glue to the empty polish bottle up to 3/4th of the bottle. After this, take a few drops of water and add it slowly inside and mix the solution well. *Main tip: I tried without using water, the result was very bad. The bottle wouldn't open easily and the brush bristles got stuck to each other not allowing me to apply the base coat. So adding water is a must for clean application. And that's it, your Base coat is done! Nail hack: How to dry your peel off base coat faster ...
