Review/Swatches Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer Nutcraker Dreams #151 |
Hello everyone! Recently I picked up a few stuff
from Nykaa which caught my fancy and I will be sharing my views on them in the
coming posts. The first one of those is this nail paint from their Matte
Lacquer range. The entire beauty world has been going gaga over matte lips and
matte nails since over a year now and although I have quite a few matte lip colours, I never invested in a
matte nail-paint. I would say the word “invested” because these bottles costs
almost double of a normal nail-polish (I still prefer calling them nail-polish
rather than nail-paint). Also, most of you would know of my preference of solid
and opaque nail-polish in a subtle classy shade over neon shades. Remember how
gaga I went over the Sally Hansen nail-polish in that oh-so-classy shade? Or my excitement over the Miss Claire French Manicure set? It was
but obvious that I chose a similar nude or my-nail-but-better shade for my
first matte nail-paint stunt J Among eight other shades in their Nude
collection, I randomly chose the “Nutcraker Dreams” from the Nykaa website
hoping that it looks similar in real life!

Packaging:
It comes in a square-ish frosted glass bottle with a long black handled applicator.
The brush is flat and this aided in better application

My
take:
The shade Nutcraker Dream is a mix of pink, taupe and brown. It is a very
versatile shade which would beautifully complement every skin tone. It is a
wearable nude shade and would be perfect for work place or daily wear.
The paint strongly smells of varnish and sitting in
a ventilated place while applying may be a good idea. The pigmentation looks
medium on first application as you can just see a wash of colour over your
natural nail colour, but the full blown shade can be seen once you apply two
coats. However, be cautious and apply thin layers, else you might experience a
gloopy drag. I would also suggest you to buff your nails if your nail-bed has
lines or uneven surface.

The good thing about this nail-polish is that it
dries very fast and settles to a true matte finish. The bad thing is the
longevity. For people who do not need to do any sort of household chores, this
may last chip-free for 5-6 days. However, for the other lot like us who have to
do washing, cleaning, cooking, office work single handed-ly (Let’s face it,
which Indian women wears rubber gloves while doing chores as shown in
advertisement? Duh), this paint will start chipping in two days. I hate how
such sophisticated shade looks “uncared for” in two days L
For this price range, I would expect a better staying power. And it is a shame
that I cannot use a glossy top coat over this to increase its staying power for
obvious reasons!
There is no difficulty in removing this with a
remover and this did not stain my nail beds. I use Colorbar’s nailpaint remover.

Overall, shade wise, it is a definite repurchase
thing for me until I find something better! Did you try any shade from this
range?? Let us know in comments J Next review
