Hi lovelies,
I bear good news. At least for those who live in good old Amdavad. For those Gujaratis who have been praying and cursing the gods alternately for keeping big brands away from our city, there's hope. For Inglot, a renowned international cosmetic company, is finally in Ahmedabad! YAY!!!!
Yes... it is here. At AlphaOne Mall in Vastrapur. Quite close to me too. Double YAYYY!!!
Okay, it is a large stall and not a store. Not yet :) I can always be hopeful.
Just look at those gorgeous colours!!!
I own a couple of Inglot nail polishes. They don't have names only numbers. Sigh.
But I love Inglot 517, a gorgeous creamy pink matte which I used here.
I also own Inglot 204, a blue flakie.. yes, they have flakies... which I used for this art.
Isn't it gorgeous!!
I was in a hurry yesterday so just caught one snap of the stall. I am going back today and shall update you on the products available there.
For now, I think this is the only stall in the entire city, but if there are other outlets do let me know in the comment box below :)
For those who don't know, Inglot is a Polish brand that was established over 25 years ago by Wojtek Inglot, a chemist working at that time in R&D department in pharmaceutical company.They launched the world’s first ever Breathable Nail Enamel ensuring better health care for nails whilst enhancing their beauty.
Their unique Freedom System allows customers to experiment with countless shades and colour combinations of different face products, giving them the opportunity to create their own customized colour palette. What more can a beauty addict want?!

Hi lovelies,
The tenth day of my 31 Day Challenge threw up the theme of Gradients. I thought of sponging one, the most common way of getting gradient nails. Till, it struck me that I could use something really beautiful for this nail art.
So, this is what I came up with.
This is Inglot 204 (blue flakie near cuticle) and NYX Peach Ave (golden flakies near the tips) layered over a coat of Colorbar Exclusive 76, a basic black. I just dabbed them on to create the gradient effect.
This is the mattified look. Doesn't it look gorgeous?
If you follow my blog regularly, you will be well acquainted with my internet woes. So I continue to use my Instagram picture to keep the posts short.
Liked this manicure? If you did, please leave a comment below. I would like to read your thoughts :)
Colours used:
Colorbar Exclusive 76 (black creme)

Hi lovelies,
I have entered a new challenge, the Girly Girl Challenge, thrown up by a member of the Indian Lacquer Lovers group on Facebook. And I have taken this up as a joke because anyone who knows me personally would never ever EVER associate the word 'girly' with me. I think I'd take it as an insult, too. But my love for polish has made me very tolerant... sigh. So, here goes...
What's this you ask? The first challenge is to 'Think Pink' and wear my favourite pink polish with nail art. And this is my favourite. Inglot 517, a gorgeous creamy matte pink.
Isn't it the most elegant colour you've ever seen?!
As much as I use glitter, I have to say I love mattes. Maybe because it satisfies the impatient me. Mattes are polish-and-go polishes. They dry as soon as you apply and there... you're done. Thankfully, this one did not dry as fast as the Zoya, which meant I could apply it more carefully and avoid lumpy streaks.
You would think that glitters and nail art would catch people's eye. But you have no idea the amazing number of compliments I got for sporting this colour! This is such a work-appropriate choice for places that frown on loud nail colours.
This is two coats. One coat is a bit streaky.
This looks lovely even with topcoat. But since I love the matte look, I kept it as it is. Which means chipping, a problem with most mattes.
Sorry for that picture... Just had to put it up to show how I made this manicure last for 10 days.
Yep. Glitter to the rescue. This one is Blonde Bombshell from China Glaze 3D collection. The uneven application is because I thought I could just paint the gradient on than sponge it over. Never again.
But I love this combination. Do you? Don't forget to leave a comment and do check out the other participants.
