It's only 2 days left when we will welcome Ganpati Bappa to our home... This time I am going to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at my home and I am super excited...  I am doing everything on my own like decoration, sweets, everything..  Being a nailart junky how could I forget to dedicate a nailart to my Bal Ganesh ( Lord Ganesha).  So here is a nailart fully inspired by Ganesh Chaturthi...




The nailart is a complete free hand mani...  Here I have used nail polishes,  acrylic colours and a fine nailart brush to draw everything...


I have tried to draw the resemblance of Lord Ganesha through the auspicious 'OM' on the middle finger nail . Hope I have nailed the look...  Then on the ring nail ,there are laddoos which is the favorite sweet of Ganesh Ji.  Then on the index and small finger's nails I have drawn Swastik mark which is again very auspicious for we Indians.  Finally on the thumb nail, there is mango leaves decoration which we used to hang at the entrance of our home on any Indian festivals.. There are few flowers too..  Here I have kept white as base colour and tried to create an ombre effect base on the middle nail using light yellow and green polish...

At last after drying everything, apply a nice transparent top coat to seal the art and ready flaunt...

Now enjoy few close-up pictures...

Creative Home Decor Ideas For Ganesha Chaturthi


Will update other posts soon... 

Hello my girls...  Hope you have an awesome weekend, mine was a regular one because hubby was in office ,me and son at home alone... Well, to cherish my mood, I have created this glam party appropriate nailart which is very easy to draw and looking presentable for any party..  Here I have used the beautybigbang 3D Crystal Nail Rhinestones in shade pink ...


Earlier I have created a bridal nailart using beautybigbang nail decorators (check HERE)  .  Beautybigbang is an international shopping site which has a great collection of makeup and nail stuffs... You should check out their website..  They ship across the world with free shipping on order above 1$. I have quite few of both makeup and nail products from the site and trust me they are of the best qualities...


These 3D crystal pink rhinestones have flat base which allows these to sit on nails perfectly..  There are around 200 pieces of rhinestones  in this cute little box and of four different sizes..  You can use according to your need..

Along with these pink rhinestones, I have also used the champagne metal beads which I have again got from Beautybigbang .. Infact these beads are a part of the metal beads wheel about which I have shared in my bridal nailart tutorial... Have a look HERE .


Now jump into the easy to create party nailart tutorial..

The products we need to create this art are below in the pic...


STEPS - 

1-  First apply a layer of transparent base coat on nails and then apply the lighter nykaa polish on all the nails.. (if you want to know the nail polish names, comment below)

2- Now create a gradient effect by taking the darker shade polish through a sponge and keep dabbing on the outer 1/3rd till you get the desired effect..


3- Then apply a transparent top coat to create a smooth base for the jewels.

4-Then through a toothpick put the rhinestones and beads on nails..  Wait for a minute to set all these. And at last apply a good layer of transparent top coat to seal everything you have done...

Tada... The party nail is done... Isn't it easy to draw?

Enjoy few pictures more..








Hope you liked this easy glam party nails tutorial...  I will come with such ideas in future..  Till then keep smiling and stay blessed..

I love traveling as much as I love shopping...  Travelling is one of my great stress buster.  In my opinion it is really necessary to plan at least two trips in a year...  Recently I was in vacation to Udaypur.. I will share about my trip in some other post..


And today I will share what all products I do carry in my travel makeup bag...  I don't prefer much makeup when on holiday or travelling, even I don't like applying makeup on regular basis when I am at home .. I only carry a few multi-tasking products while travelling .. This is another thing if I am going to attain any special ocassion or family function... And I always carry two bags, one for makeup stuffs and another one is for skincare stuffs..  In this way,  it becomes very easy to find products when you are in hurry...  Being a mother of a toddler I have to rush everytime and in this way I manage everything smoothly...  Well, I will share my travel skincare bag detail in another separate post and today it's for travel makeup bag...


As I said earlier I don't carry much stuffs while traveling, hence I carry this small pouch kind bag with me...  I love the fabbag bags too ,these are actually best to carry stuffs during trips..  I have got this cute girly bag from TOSAVE.com  (I have reviewed about this HERE).  let's jump to see the stuffs inside..

LIP PRODUCTS -


I always carry a bunch of lipsticks while traveling.. I believe that, a lipstick can change the mood as well as look..  I carry from nude shades to bright bold shades. In case I don't get time to do full face makeup, I can apply a bright shade lipstick and the whole look will change.. You should try sometime..  Here I have taken few random shade lipsticks .. There are neutral /nude shades like Colourpop Cami, sugar cosmetics Brownton Abbey, Lakme 9 to 5 primer plus matte lipstick Rosy Sunday, and bright bold shades like Lakme 9 to 5 weightless matte mousse lip cream crimson silk, Oriflame the ONE vinyl gel liquid lipstick ,miss claire liquid lipstick .. Except these lipsticks, I never forget to carry a lip balm...  I have very dry lips and lip balms are must for me before applying any lipstick... These days I am loving my Oriflame tender care lip balm on honey..

FACE PRODUCTS -


I don't carry much face makeup stuffs.  I prefer bb / cc creams over foundations while traveling.  These days I am using the giordanigold cc cream by Oriflame and I am in shade natural . It has great coverage and long lasting too.  For compact, I always prefer Maybelline super fresh compact which has again great coverage and is oil-free. Can you notice, I have hit the pan... I carry my PAC beauty blender whenever stepping out.. For rest face makeup, I prefer using one single palette over carrying separate pans for each purpose..  Here I have taken the Makeup Revolution blush, bronze and brighten palette in shade smoulder.

EYE PRODUCTS -


For eye makeup, I never forget to carry couple of eye liners / kohl pencils...  A black kohl (Plum kohl)  is must and I carry a coloured kajal pencil (Oriflame the ONE high impact eye pencils )  to create any dramatic look and a liner (PAC liquid liner)  for touch ups..  For eyebrow grooming, the Maybelline eyebrow definer is perfect and I have the shade brown.  Now it's mascara and eye lash curler which plays the main role...  I have the oriflame 5 in 1 wonder lash mascara and Vega eyelash curler. I don't apply eyeshadow or anything else while traveling..




Except all these I carry my favorite perfume, wet wipes ,makeup remover, cotton balls ,etc...

Hello...  Finally I got few me-time to write review for my blog...  Actually I was in vacation and after coming back I was super busy in arranging everything..  Well, leave it...  Today I am going to share with you my experience on Iraa Insta Renew Multi-action Under Eye Cream . Earlier I have shared my opinion on the night cream by Iraa ( find HERE). Iraa is an Indian brand with a good line of skincare and hair care products...  All products are cruelty free and of awesome quality as per the brand.. let's see how is the under eye cream...


BRAND CLAIMS -

PRICE - Rs490/- got 20gm.

INGREDIENTS -

PACKAGING -


The under eye cream comes in a squeezable tube with metallic finish plastic screw cap..  The opening of the tube is so narrow which allows very tiny quantity on each squeeze and I found it quite good.  The tube comes inside a cardboard box which has all information regarding the product..  Overall packaging is travel-friendly and sturdy..


MY EXPERIENCE - I am using this since a month now along with the night cream of the same brand..  I have under eye dark circles and I was seriously expecting some miracle from this eye cream..  It works good but till now not much effective on my dark circles.  After applying, it relaxes my eyes and reduces the puffiness in the morning and moisturises as well but not effective in reducing the density of the dark circles...  It might take long to show the result but I am not sure...  I don't have any wrinkles on my skin yet ,hence can't comment on that..


The cream is white in colour and you just need a tiny drop to cover the two eyes areas.  It absorbs quickly and keeps hydrated the eye area.  It doesn't feel heavy or sticky like some other eye creams feel.  It has cucumber extracts which gives soothing effect after applying.. If I will ignore the price, I will love this product to apply on daily twice just to relax my eyes..


PROS.. -
▶Sturdy and travel-friendly packaging
▶ Has some awesome ingredients
▶Has cucumber extracts which helps to sooth the under eye area.
▶Hydrating on skin
▶ Need tiny quantity each time and absorbs quickly
▶No fragrance


CONS.. -
▶Pricey
▶Not fully chemical free
▶ Availability might be an issue..
▶Not giving instant result in curing dark circles.

Rating - 4/5 😊

Hope you found this review helpful.. See you in the next post ..
