Bella Voste - Overview (Part 2 - Nail Polish)


Products from Bella Voste range from lipsticks, gloss, eyeliner, mascara, brow-liner to nail polish. Lulu and I have combined our collection and are presenting the different “categories” of nail polish we have from Bella Voste and a brief review of them all.

Note to the readers: Products rated by Lulu are the ones she got in her Box/Bag ergo products rated by me are the ones I got in my Box, as this is a co-written review.

Type:Matte Finish
Shade:Gloom & Doom 11
Colour:Teal


This is a matte finish nail polish and the only reason I picked the colour was because I loved that it was called “Gloom & Doom”. It is not in the least bit gloomy looking and nor is it fatal enough to make men trip when they see this shade. I love the colour –Teal. I love how quickly it dries up. I love how easy it is to apply when there is a paucity of time and it has amazing lasting powers. I’d recommend this to EVERYBODY.


Lasting Power: A week, without chipping.
Rating by Bob: 4.5/5
Price: INR 249

Type:Pastel
Shade:Make My Day 28
Colour:Peach


This is a glossy shade and for those in the corporate world with strict rules of dressing, this would be ideal for the workplace. Like most pastel shades, this requires three coats but unlike other light/pastel shades, the final outcome is not very streaky. However, the nail polish creases even after fully dry. The nail polish dries quickly and comes off easily and neatly with the remover.  


Lasting power:  6- 7 days.
Rating by Lulu: 4/5
Price: INR 249

Type:Lacquer(Regular)
Shade:601
Colour:Bubble gum pink meets Barbie and a nasty rash.


We got a “return gift” in our GlamEgo box this month and I received  Shade 601 which falls under the pink range. It is a very bright colour. Extremely poppy and will make your nails stand out. As I am not a ‘pink’ person I tend to be extremely prejudiced against the colour. I am sure a lot of people will love this shade. I on my part have slyly pushed it in my mom’s direction. She loves pink so it’s a win-win.


Lasting power: It didn’t take too long to dry. I applied it today and it’s intact so far. [I will update in a week]
Rating by Bob: 3/5
Price: INR 149

Type:Lacquer(Regular)
Shade:602
Colour:Pink (magenta)


I applied a coat for the picture but I would think two would be ideal. The nail polish dried within 10 minutes. The next day the nail polish had faded at the tips.


Lasting power: 1 day with 1 coat.
Rating by Lulu:  3.5/5
Price: INR 149

Type:Shimmer
Shade:Better Than Ever
Colour:Rose- gold

This is my most favourite shade amongst the three Bella Voste ( Shades - 28, 602) nail polishes that I have. It dries super-quick and also comes off easily and neatly with the remover. The nail polish itself is shimmery and doesn’t have coarse glitter in it that is so difficult to remove. When I use darker shades of pink/red, I love using this particular shade on my ring finger or I apply it on the tips.


Lasting power: more than a week.
Rating by Lulu: 4.5/5
Price: INR 249

The Oceanic Velvet Cake with a Mother of Pearl Frosting©

Image
My favourite cake is the Red Velvet cake. I like the colour, the texture, the salty-sweet-cream cheese frosting and that mild zing of flavours which alternate between cocoa, vanilla and citrusy. I am not a food blogger. I just have started blogging about food because the pandemic has invariably brought out the chef in me and I have started experimenting on a scale I would not otherwise have. I am usually satisfied with a small cake. It takes less time and less effort… that’s what I thought. Until I decided to make a layered cake. Same time and same amount of effort. After I was done, I realised that baking actually isn’t rocket science. It does take some patience, understanding of how ingredients combine and a bit of artistry to make it pretty. I compensate for my lack of artistry with imagination and creativity. I had set out to bake me a Red Velvet cake. The moment I realised that my birthday will also be during the lockdown I knew I’d have to go about fixing this wi

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short listed my “This the phone I’d like to own” list ·         Google Pixel XL (128GB) – INR 56,229 ·         One Plus 5T (128 GB) – INR 37,795 ·         Moto Z2 Play (64GB)   - INR 2

Desitude

The feeling is fleeting and yet for the mere seconds that the thought lasts you realize that you are watching the evolution of a generation that claims to be less corrupt and one that is equipped to take on the world. At the same time you notice that this so called generation has a thick pseudo american accent, ideas are plenty but do they apply to us [Indians] and whether this flash of insight was just a piece read in the news paper? Seriously after having moved to Bangalore I have started noticing things that weren’t so evident in Mysore . Things like a person’s attitude towards people – In case you are dressed up like a westerner you evidently have brains. [because you need to have brains to have a very well coordinated psychedelic wardrobe.] Any one clad in salwar kameez or anything remotely Indian is “ Oh! so still living in the dark ages!” . Anyone who speaks English is smart. Anyone who speaks Hindi is a gawar. Anyone who paints her nails black, bottle
