Manicure Monday - Colorbar in 'Turquoise'

This Monday's Manicure features Colorbar nail lacquer in 'Turquoise'. 

It is a stunning turquoise color. I am wearing 3 coats and it gives opaque coverage. I am used to wider brushes, so did not like the brush.

Quality wise, I was not very impressed, my nail polish chipped the next day, but the reason may be I did a lot of housework. 

The accent nails are in Sportsgirl 'Speckled Mint'. Click HERE for the mani post.

I really tried  capturing the true colour but failed. In the pics, the polish looks too blue, in reality its a very true n beautiful turquoise..

I really like the Colorbar brand and am a fan of lots of their products. Colorbar is one of India's popular brands and is a hit with the Indian bloggers. It is not available in Australia. 

I Finally Hit Pan !! :)

This is  a quick post to share my good news with you guys .. I finally hit pan on my first product .. I have hit pan on the 'Color Bar blush in Plum brown'.. I believe this was one of my first blushes, a gorgeous matte everyday shade .. love this shade .. very easy to wear ..perfect for work ..

Colorbar is an Indian company and is quite popular amongst the Indian beauty bloggers ..I love their products. Coming back to the blush, its a neutral every day color, with slight peach hint to it. The blush is nicely pigmented and is finely milled and easy to apply and blend. I don't see any con with the product except that the lasting power could have been better ..

I believe the price was around INR 300/ 6 $ (when I bought it) .. Looking forward to making a bigger dent on this :)

Which was the first product you hit pan on ? 

EOTD - Winged Liner - My first attempt !

I absolutely love winged liner, the more looks I see sporting winged liner, the more I am in love with it. So today I thought, let's wing it baby !!

And here I am with an attempt to the Winged Liner. So what do you think ?

I wanted to be safe and just started by creating a small flick, I am hoping to get better with practice :) But am happy with it .. I am wearing Revlon black liquid liner on the upper line and Colorbar plum eyeliner on the lower line.

Do you wing it ?
