Davis Nail Colors:Reviews and Swatches

Hi all,

Remember the nailpaints I showed you in my haul post HERE???

Well, today I will be reviewing the Davis Nail Colors. I had bought four of them from Snapdeal.com. They have many colours to choose from, but since they were a new brand of nailpaints, I decided to buy only four shades.

Quantity: 10ml, according to the bottle, but I doubt it.

Price: Rs.35/- :D

The Bottle: these come in tiny bottles, with a rather unnecessary huge cap, with this sticker of a girl on it. It’s kinda ugly and cheap-looking.

The Brush: is super tiny; and a little difficult to work with.

Now, coming onto the individual colours:-

1)      LAVENDER BLUSH: It is a pretty dark mauve shade. It looks good on all skin tones. Needs 2 coats for full opacity. A little thick in consistency. It looks a little darker in the shade, but comes out beautiful in the sun.

It took ages to dry, and as you can see, I have already smudged the paint on my index and middle fingers, even after waiting for ten minutes. :(

2)      STARLET: It is my favourite of the lot. An excellent choice for daily wear. It is a beautiful shade of pink, which will look lovely on fair and medium skintones. It needs 3 coats. Consistency is a little thin.

This takes ages to dry as well. :(

3)      HAPPY HOUR: a myriad of tiny muti-coloured glitters in a clear base. The glitters reflect all the colours in the rainbow. The consistency was good. This was the only one which dried properly in ten minutes. One coat is enough to slather a good amount of glitter. In the following pictures, I have used 2 coats though, over Starlet.

4)      VALLEY FLOWER: Silver glitters in a navy blue-purplish base. It requires 2-3 coats for full coverage. This dries up fast as well. This is certainly not an everyday kind-of nailpaint, but great for evening out at clubs or discotheques :P Also, like most glitter paints, the glitter from this is a little difficult to remove.

Final Word:

-> Should you buy these nailpaints? Not, really.

-> Will I buy these nailpaints? NO!

-> One reason that might make you really want to try out a shade? The price. If you really like a shade or two, go ahead and get them.

Here are the swatches on white paper for you to understand the shades better :)

You can buy these nailpaints from HERE.

Nail Paints Haul

My very first haul post (eeeee)…

I had always imagined that when I write my first haul post, it will be something huge, maybe a MAC haul or something from an international site or something that I bought with a voucher worth 5k…uhm, u get the point?! :P

But well, that is not the case today  :/  However, I am in love with everything I bought in this haul. Actually, this is not really one single haul, but multiple hauls over the past 1 week or so. And they are all nailpaints.

I am a nailpaint addict. If I spot a nail colour I like, I quickly pick it up. Funny thing about this haul is that each item costs Rs.50/- or less….!!!! :O B-) Yes! No jokes at all. Check out the pics (sorry, I have clicked far too many :/)

First up are these New U nail paints that I bought from there. They used to cost Rs.40/-, but now the prices have hiked to Rs.50/- You get them in many shades and I would like to purchase most of them. But for now, I picked up the following four shades: Light Pink, Candy, Green Apple and Twilight.

 

L-R: Twilight, Candy, Green Apple, Light Pink

Next are some nailpaints that I bought from this supermarket near my hostel. They are from a brand called Equate. You will never be able to guess how cheap they are! They cost 18 bucks each. Yes, Rs.18/- only. And though they aren't really that great, they are a steal for the quantity and colours that they offer.

Sadly the shades have no names, only numbers. I bought 9 shades.

Finally, I bought nailpaints from Snapdeal. Now, snapdeal is one of my least favourite online shopping destintions. Mainly, because when they send their products, they send it individually. So, you buy 5 nailpaints from them, and they come individually. How irritating is that. I bought nailpaints from 2 brands that you get there: Nail Juice and Davis.

The Nail Juice nailpaints come in a variety of shades. They cost Rs.50/- each, and their colour pay-off is really great. I bought the shades Leaf Green, Plum, Pomegranate, White and Pink Glitter.

L-R: Pomegranate, Leaf Green, Pink Glitter, White, Plum

Davis nailpaints have recently been introduced there. They are not that great, They come in rather cheap looking bottles and take forever to dry. They cost Rs.35/-. I bought four shades from there: Starlet, Lavender Blush, Valley Flower and Happy Hour.

L-R:Starlet, Valley, Happy Hour, Lavender Blush 

Well, that is all. Will do individual reviews on the nailpaints soon.
