Kara Nail Polish Remover Wipes Review

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing these life changing nail polish remover wipes from Kara! I remember the first time ever I came across wipes, I was elated! It’s a pain to sit with cotton balls and acetone/nail paint remover and work on each nail, also that takes forever!

Most of the nail paint removers come in glass bottles and you need to carry cotton balls also, if you want to remove your nail paint on the go or while travelling. Most inconvenient thing ever!

Enter nail polish remover wipes! And your life is sorted, I have tried numerous about 3-4 different brands and absolutely love the idea.

I have been testing these new nail polish remover wipes from Kara and here are my thoughts..

What the Company claims: The pack contains 30 wipes and every wipe is effective in cleansing up to 10 nails!

The wipe contains an Acetone free formulation for effective removal of nail polish, even of the darkest shade. These wipes are made from poly-viscose fibre and contain natural olive oil extracts that prevents drying of nail and skin surrounding nails. Also enriched with skin nourishing vitamin E, it helps in keeping your nails nourished and moisturized at all times. All wipes come with a delightful fruity fragrance, which comes out pleasantly post usage.

This on-the-move pack has been designed for convenience of use anytime anywhere. It can be easily slipped in your bag, used in flights, classrooms, and boardrooms anywhere anytime. All our wipes are dermatologically tested, are Acetone free, Toluene free and Paraben free.

Thus from now on if you’re worrying about chipped nails, all you need is a wipe. A new shade is now just a wipe away and say hello to your nail’s new BFF cause you can wipe off, paint on wherever you are. All with Kara Nail Polish Remover Wipes.

About Kara:  Kara is a quality product brought to you by Future Consumer Enterprise Limited. Kara wipes are manufactured at our conversion plant at Kharach. This plant is FDA approved and the manufacturing process is carried out under stringent conditions to ensure user safety and hygiene. Each Kara wipe is made from Viscose fibres, a 100% natural bio-degradable fibre.

MRP: Rs.100/- for one pack of 30 wipes

Availability: Currently on 20% discount on Nykaa.com HERE and offline available at Big Bazaar, Health & Glow, Star Bazaar, Hypercity, Beauty stores, etc.

Variants:

  • Rose
  • Lemon
  • Orange
  • Strawberry

I had about 2-3 packs of nail polish remover wipes and I haven’t been able to find them at my place, post shifting. You won’t believe but I haven’t painted my nails often since the time I lost those :/ It’s a pain to remove nail paints with a normal nail paint remover once you have tried these wipes. Also if I use acetone free nail paint remover, it takes me literally ages to remove paint from one single nail! I get so tired by the end of it, that I have stopped doing my nails on my own unless I go for a professional manicure-pedicure.

And thanks to Kara, my life is sorted again! I am so glad Kara has come up with nail polish remover wipes and that too in four different variants.

Each variant smells really good and the smell stays on your nails for some time. My favourites are rose and lemon. It comes in a round box and the box is very tiny and handy, it is almost the size of your fingers, as you can see in the image here.

Each wipe is super thin and made with poly-viscose fibre. You can feel how thin the wipe is, it is almost see through. Having tried 2-3 different brands, I have to admit this is the thinnest wipe I have used and the material feels superior quality in touch and feel.

One wipe is enough to remove paint from all 10 fingers at a time. It is so easy and convenient to use, I did not have to go over my nails twice, even with a dark nail paint. As you can see here, I just tried to lift one pad and it already took some nail paint off from the finger.

I love the ease of use! And the fact that it is Acetone free, Toluene free and Paraben free. The olive oil and Vitamin E leave the nails super moisturized. Normal nail paint removers leave my nails so dry that I have to immediately apply some oil or hand cream.

Also these are the most economical ones in the market considering the price and quality. These are more travel friendly too, I would say keep one in your bag all the time. You never know when your nail paint might chip and bare nails are better than chipped nail paint!

At Rs.100 for 30 pads, it comes to Rs.3.33 for one pad which is enough to remove nail paint from all fingers. Even if you change your nail paint every week, this will last you months.

I am highly impressed and definitely recommend the Kara Nail Polish Remover wipes! Stock up on these at the current Nykaa sale for just Rs.80!

Have you tried the Kara nail polish remover wipes yet?

Jan 2016 Beauty Resolutions Fab Bag Review

Hi guys,

So this time I received the Fab Bag at my mom’s place the My Envy Box at my old address, so the delay in review or posted on social media directly.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.699/- per month (Buy HERE)

January 2016 Fab Bag theme is ‘Beauty Resolutions’ coz we all have New Year resolutions 😀 The makeup print on the bag is super pretty and this is the perfect cosmetic bag for travel or storage, one of my most favourite Fab Bag bags!

Let’s come to the products, so I had an option to select one product in this month’s bag out of all the makeup options, and I had already tried everything else, so I went with the Laqa & Co. Nail Polish Pen coz I have never tried a nail polish pen and it was a nice, summery peach shade which I can’t wait to wear in summers.

Products:
  • Natural Bath & Body French Red Clay Face Mask 20g (Full size Rs 450/- for 100 ml)
  • Natural Bath & Body Vitamin E Whipped Cream 15g (Full size Rs 275/- for 50 ml)
  • Laqa and Co. Nail polish pen  (Full size Rs.1000/- for 5ml)
  • Votre Face Serum Full size (Rs 1670/- for 12 ml)
  • BBlunt Spotlight Hair Polish mini- Rs.250/-

I love the sound of both the Natural Bath & Body products and also the ingredients are pretty good. The French Red Clay mask has virgin coconut oil, turmeric powder, sandalwood extract, beetroot powder, kaolin clay, fuller’s earth, etc. And the Whipped cream is a blend of Vitamin E and argan oil. The cream is perfect for winters but I would prefer using the clay based mask in summers as clay based masks dry out my skin more though the coconut oil should balance it out, my skin is already super dry these days and I won’t risk it.

The Laqa & Co. Nail polish pen is in the shade Tweedledee is a nice pastel peach shade and also my first nail polish pen, quite happy that it’s a full sized product, can’t wait to try it out.

I love using serums and oils especially at night and in winters, currently I am obsessed with The Body Shop Oils Of Life Revitalizing Facial Oil, and this Votre Face serum sounds amazing with all the blend of essential and cold pressed oils in the ingredients. But my only worry is only active ingredients are mentioned :/ I hope it doesn’t break me out coz the Just Herbs Rejuvenating Beauty Elixir in the previous Fab Bag did break me out. I like the fact that this again is a full sized product.

And last but not the least, the BBlunt spotlight mini hair spray. Now I have 2 of the full sized ones and also one mini of this and I absolutely love it, it is perfect for adding some shine post your hairstyle and it gives slight hold too, though not much. It doesn’t make your hair stiff or hard and gives a nice sheen on the hair. This mini version is perfect for travel and/or handbag.

In all, I would say I loved this month’s Fab Bag and the fact that I got two full sized products, one hair spray mini and 2 deluxe sized samples and all the products are pretty good. Absolutely recommend getting this month’s bag if you still haven’t, also the bag in itself is really cute & quite useful.

Last month’s bag was also quite good, I hope this continues coz the products and bags have been really good from the past 2-3 months (except Nov) Touchwood!

What did you get in your January 2016 Fab Bag? What makeup product did you choose?

Acetone v/s Non-Acetone Nail Polish Removers

By Ishleen

Why are acetone nail polish removers so much better for you!

Acetone or Non-acetone—that is the question?

We have been asked times innumerable about the safest way to remove nail polishes, are acetone based removers safe and whether or not non-acetone removers are better for the nails? So here we have a short post which hopefully will appease your queries.

The pondering over the question in regards to the safety of acetone removers is as intense as the heated debate on the health benefits of chocolate. But you do not need to drown in the frenzy of arguments, as we have planned to bring forward some logical set of reasonings.

What exactly is acetone?

Acetone is the second safest solvent in the nail industry, after water. And clearly, we cannot use water to remove nail polishes, because if we could, the nail industries would have never established. Ok, enough on that. Undoubtedly there are many other solvents in the world, but none are as safe as compared to acetone.

Does acetone have any health hazards?

Health hazards? No, not any that we have heard of. Some people tend to believe that acetone has the potency to aggravate carcinogens and thereby cause cancer. This is NOT THE TRUTH. No scientific institution or research has ever proved this.

Secondly, the market hype about non-acetone nail polish removers has made people believe that acetone can get absorbed by your skin and in the process can get mixed with your blood stream. Girls, acetone CAN NOT pass through the dermis level of your nail bed. Acetone gets evaporated a bit too fast to get absorbed into your nail plate. So, it’s safe.

Why should you choose acetone removers over non-acetone polish removers?

Markets today have very strategically created the image of non-acetone removers to be the better version of acetone removers. In reality this is not true. Acetone based nail polish removers are slightly safer than non acetone removers, which basically constitute methyl ethyl ketone and ethyl acetate. Both of which are harmful for the healthy growth of nails. Surprised much?

Coming to the argument that acetone removers are drying, we could not contest it. But so are non- acetone removers, undoubtedly. In fact non-acetone removers are much more drying than acetone removers as they are not as effective as acetone removers when it comes to removing nail polishes.

Non-acetone removers were made to work basically with acrylic nails, as they used to get dissolved when tampered with acetone removers. Thus they are less effective than acetone removers, there by leaving us with no other choice than to let it be in contact with the nail and nearby skin for longer periods of time. This causes much more dryness than any ordinary acetone remover.

What to do in order to avoid dryness caused by acetone based removers?

The basic question is why do your nails feel dry after setting in contact with acetone removers? Remember when I told you that acetone was a good solvent and it dissolves all the polish very effectively. Similarly, acetone being a solvent also dissolves the natural oil and moisture from the skin surrounding your nail bed. Simple enough, eh?

Talking about the solution, it is a complete no brainer. Feed the skin with what the acetone could rip it off of. Oil! I mean if the acetone tends to strip off natural oils from your skin, slather some olive or almond oil on to the skin (not the nails, just the surrounding skin) which will be getting affected by oil.

By doing this one simple step, the acetone will be dissolving the oils applied externally, safeguarding most of your natural oils and moisture in the skin. Easy peasy!

Ok, so I am in a good mood today. Let me just throw in a bonus trick for you gorgeous girls to enjoy.

BONUS TRICK: Gel nails are beautiful and they are all the rage in the nail industry nowadays. But let us accept it, they can be expensive; and the additional expense to get them removed at the salon can be too overwhelming for some. Now, that we know that acetone is far better than non-acetone removers, let us try a simple trick here. Dab some oil on to the skin surrounding your nails. Taking a cotton swab completely doused in acetone nail polish remover place it onto the nail and cover the nail with a foil paper (the one sitting handy in your kitchen) and let it be for about 3-5 minutes. Do not unwrap the foil; just pull it straight off the tip along with the cotton.

The same trick can be used to remove chunky glitter polishes, but the acetone dipped cotton covered with foil should not be left on the fingernails for more than 3-5 minutes. It can damage your natural nail bed.

After all the heated debates and settled arguments, I have finally come to the conclusion that acetone removers are all the much better than non-acetone nail polish removers for your skin.

The only problem that acetone can cause is drying and to avoid the unquenchable-nail feeling, you can try the following acetone based DIY recipe for gorgeously nourished nails. Just take:

1. Ten parts acetone (any kind of pure acetone will do)

2. Two parts of water (normal or tap water)

3. 10-15 drops of any oil of your choice (I personally prefer using olive oil)

4. 5-8 drops of vitamin E (you can even use one or two vitamin E capsules for this purpose)

Just add these four simple ingredients into any old nail polish remover bottle and voila! You have a customized acetone based nail lacquer remover which will remove the most stubborn of nail polishes without ever drying your nails. I swear your friends will be jealous of your beautiful nails 🙂

Editor’s Note: That’s quite an interesting post Ishleen, also loved the last DIY recipe and would be trying that out. I have tried acetone free ones thinking they are all good, but the nail paint just won’t come off :/ I usually love using this oil based nail polish remover pads. This DIY thing sounds quite good and economical.

Have you tried non-acetone nail polish removers? Don’t you find them drying plus they do not take off the nail paint at all! Will you try this DIY recipe?

Johara Cosmetics (Colors) Makeup Reviews, Swatches, FOTD

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing some makeup items from Johara Cosmetics. Let me tell you a little about Johara Cosmetics at first..

About the brand: Johara Cosmetics is a part of the Sabinsa and Sami Group. Johara® is the culmination of this on-going effort in Research and Development for more than two and half decades and over 120 scientists diligently focusing their efforts towards creating effective and safe products.

The company has a state-of-the-art R & D Center and six cutting-edge manufacturing units, adhering to the strictest quality and safety standards, ensuring that the highest quality of products are being manufactured.

Today, the Sabinsa and Sami Group holds a strong intellectual property portfolio with 90+ US and International Patents to its credit, including worldwide awards and recognitions. Our cosmeceuticals are derived from natural botanical sources to meet the changing skin care needs of the modern women. We ensure that our ingredients offer a safe and natural approach to enhance beauty and health. Check out more HERE

So as the brand claims suggests, Johara Cosmetics are made from the best of the ingredients and are all safe and natural adhering to their quality standards.

They have Skin Care, Body Care (i.e. Bathing Bar and Body Mist) and Colors which is all about makeup but no foundation or base makeup yet, I hope they launch those soon.

For now, I am reviewing the lipstick, eyeliner, kajal and nail color.

Johara® Crème Rich Lip Color

Johara® Crème Rich Lip Color glides on for show-stopping, saturated rich creamy color finish. Rare Ricin oil and Vitamin E act to hydrate and nourish your lips. Choose from 12 delectable shades and true-wearing color that dazzles at the workplace or party. Long-wearing, smooth and lustrous, our lipsticks make you want to get more than one shade!

More To Love: Parabens free, Lanoline free, Mineral Oil free, Nano-ingredient free

Shades Available: 12

MRP: Rs.395/- for 4.5g

I have the shade Pink Flash. To start with the packaging, it comes in this complete silver outer packaging with golden interior. I like the packaging, also the quantity of 4.5g is very good for a lipstick.

Pink Flash is a pretty coral pink color. The texture is creamy and the finish is glossy, you get opaque coverage in 2 swipes so the pigmentation is quite decent too. The staying power is average, it stays for 3-4 hours with light snacking and drinks but leaves behind a pretty stain which stays for another 1-2 hours. Only glitch is it fades from the center first when you eat or drink.

Overall, I like the color and the finish is pretty good for everyday use. But if you want matte or long staying lipstick, then this is not for you. At Rs.395, it is quite good for the quantity and quality.

Johara® Pro Shine Nail color

Dress up your nails in a stroke of Johara® Pro Shine Nail colors. The formulae are long lasting, quick-drying, and apply evenly, while high-quality pigments ensure eye-catching ultra-shine. The special design brush helps to achieve an even application of colors. Choose from 14 ProShine youthful shades to pep up your look every day.

Shades Available: 14

MRP: Rs.250/- for 10ml

I have the shade Ocean Green. I like that the bottle is not very huge for 10ml quantity. Pigmentation is good, you get perfect coverage in two coats.

Ocean Green is perfect sea green which looks kind of mint but is not exactly mint.

I do not agree with the quick drying and long lasting claim here. It took quite long to dry on nails and chipped from the front in 3 days.

The shades available are less and also the price is a little higher for a nail paint, not very happy with this.

Johara Deep Impact Kajal

Use Johara Deep Impact Kajal for mesmerizingly beautiful eyes. This creamy Kajal gives you deep coverage and effortlessly glides on in one easy stroke. Smudge-proof and easy to blend, it is also moisturizing and light-wearing. Let this super-creamy kajal be the secret behind your expressive eyes.

Free of volatiles, parabens and preservatives.

Lasts upto 10 hours

Easy to apply

Water-proof

Dermatologically approved

Ophthalmologically approved

Suitable for contact lens wearers

MRP: Rs.325/- for 0.35g

It comes in this sleek, black packaging and is in retractable form. The moment I swatched it, I was blown away by the creaminess and pigmentation. It glides like butter and is intense jet black! It is everything a kajal should be! No kajal/kohl stays long on me coz of my watery eyes. This one stayed for around 7-8 hours, though it has slightly faded but was still there.

I am super impressed with this kajal, best at this price point in the longest time I have tried. Highly recommend this!

Johara Expert Pen Eyeliner 

Put an expert to line the windows to your soul. Johara Expert Pen Eyeliner has a unique pen formula that gives you oh-so-smooth and precise application, creating a highly pig­mented, intense black line, that is quick-drying and non-feathering.

The inno­vative tip applicator provide ultimate control without skipping, so what you get is pure drama for your eyes.

Free of parabens and formaldehyde compounds

Lasts upto 12 hrs & more

Water-resistant

Quick drying

Dermatologically approved

Ophthalmologically approved

Suitable for contact lens wearers

MRP: Rs.575/- for 1ml

I love using pen eyeliners, coz they are super easy and convenient to use. This Johara Expert Pen Eyeliner looks exactly like a black pen. The tip is thick and stiff, it is easy to work around with. Again the pigmentation is mind blowing, super rich and dark black.

The tip being thick, you won’t get a thin line or a small, thin wing. But if you are someone who always prefer a thick eyeliner, then this is perfect for you and will make your life super easy.

I am mostly into thin, defined lines. I rarely go thick on the eyes, but when I do, I will only reach for this. With thinner tips, you have to go over again and again to create thickness. With this liner, one stroke and you will be sorted.

I definitely recommend this if you love thick eyeliner on your eyes. you will surely love this to bits.

I have used the Kajal, Eyeliner and the lipstick here..

You can buy the products from Johara Cosmetics website, I have linked above. It will route you through Sami Direct. They also have skincare and I am currently trying out their Night Cream which I will be reviewing soon.

Have you heard of Johara Cosmetics? What do you think of these products?

BloomsBerry Hand Sanitizers, Nail Polish Removers Review

Hi guys,

Bloomsberry is a new Indian brand which has launched a range of hand care products which currently include hand sanitizers and nail polish removers.

About Bloomsberry: A thought that defines BloomsBerry so well. Driven by the philosophy of catering to each individual’s skin care and needs, BloomsBerry has launched a set of hand care products. With an effective yet unique formulation BloomsBerry is developing its each single drop to bring about a change in your life style.

About the hand sanitizers:

A wide range for everyone with a unique mesmerizing fragrance. So, develop a healthy hygiene with BloomsBerry. BloomsBerry Brand is emerging one of the best hand sanitizer in India.

Ingredients:

Variants available:

Green Apple Mojito
Spring Fizz
Fresh Blooms
Aqua Bliss
Blossom Bouquet
Purple Paradise

MRP: Rs.149/- for 29ml

To start with the packaging, it is super cute and so tiny that it makes it perfect to carry in your bag. The tiny beads and colorful sanitizers look very pretty and you get them in different variants, so you can choose what you like.

I loved the Aqua Bliss and Spring Fizz, fruity ones smelled a little sweet for my liking. These are definitely expensive than other sanitizers for the quantity, but you can feel the difference in quality when you use it. Hands feel softer and not drier which usually happens with sanitizers coz of the alcohol content.

They also claim to kill 9x more germs than normal sanitizers, so of course they have some proof for that. If you obsessed with hand sanitizers and like pretty ones in different variants, you will love these. Definitely recommend!

About the Nail Polish Removers:

  • Features castor oil and glycerine and won’t dry out cuticles.
  • Removes nail polish gently and evaporates without leaving any white residue
  • Formula is filled with vitamins which helps your nails grow stronger.

Bloomsberry introduces exclusive range of nail care products with its unique features and quality catering to individual nail requirements and problems.

Ingredients:

Variants available:

Nourishing Nails (Ocean Fragrance) – For Dry Nails
Strengthening Nails (Green Apple Fragrance) – For Weak/Brittle Nails
Acetone Free (Lemon Fragrance)- For Natural/Acrylic Nails
Nail Revival (Fragrance Free) – For Yellow Nails

MRP: Rs.149/- for 50ml

They come in a square white plastic bottle with grey cap packaging. I am glad these do not come in glass bottles which are very risky. The bottles are quite compact and small even though the quantity in each is 50ml, making them travel friendly too.

I love the fact that there is a different variant for every kind of nail. When I had got gel nail extensions done, I used the Acetone free one. I would be switching to the Strengthening Nails one now since my nails have become very weak and brittle after the extensions.

Even though there is one specific variant for dry nails, none of these nail polish removers are drying. Having tried 3-4 different brands, I can say this is by far the least drying nail polish remover brand.

But I don’t use these liquid removers much now, as I prefer either the nail polish remover pads or the sponge bottles to dip your nails in.

I would be really glad if Bloomsberry comes with different variants of nail polish remover pads and those sponge bottles. But if you prefer using the nail polish removers and are looking for something non- drying and meant for your nail type, these are must try. Highly recommend them!

Bloomsberry products are available on Flipkart and Amazon in various combos and at lower prices as introductory offers. Check out more at www.bloomsberry.in

Review: AcryGel Nail Extensions at Jean Claude Biguine

Review: AcryGel Nail Extensions at Jean Claude Biguine

Hi guys,

I got Acrygel Nail Extensions on the 20th  of August at the Jean Claude Biguine Salon at R City Mall. So you must be aware of acrylic nails and gel nails, AcryGel is the perfect combination of both. While Acrylic powder makes the nails look very stiff and fake, gel nails are too soft and don’t stay long enough. Acrygel picks up the best of both the worlds, it is neither very soft and nor too stiff, feels exactly like natural nails and stays long too.

In India, only Jean Claude Biguine does Acrygel nails yet, of course this is very popular outside India, and I see other salons catching it up soon.

A nail technician at Jean Claude Biguine attended me and started with the service. I shared with her my concern that I have tried gel nails before and it completely ruined my nail bed, so I would go with extensions. She told me this won’t harm the nail bed.

Step 1: Nails are cut, filed, buffed and cuticles and pushed and cleaned exactly like in a normal manicure.

Step 2: She applied extensions on my nails with glue one by one. Extensions start from half the nail bed and not the cuticles.

Step 3: The extensions are cut according to the desired length, buffed and filed. I went with square shape as my nails never stay square and I wanted to see how it looks on me.

Step 4: Then a mix of acrylic powder and gel is applied on the nails and the nails are kept under the UV light. This is done twice.

See how they look seamless and just like original

Step 5: Nails are again buffed and they look seamless and exactly match your natural nails by now.

Step 6: You can select any polish you like and change it later but only make sure you use an acetone free nail polish remover.

I went with French manicure since it stays for a long time and minor chipping doesn’t affect much. It’s been 15 days today and my nails still look amazing! The French mani is still there and looks good. I think I will keep it for 5-6 more days before changing the polish.

The extensions stay for about 1-1.5 months and then you need to get them removed at the salon when nails are overgrown. My nails grow pretty fast and I kept the nails and extensions short purposely.

Overall I am super happy with my nails. I do my regular activity and stuff I do with my normal nails and there hasn’t been any issue at all. I would have definitely gone for this at the time of my wedding had I known this earlier!

Duration: 3 hours

Price: Rs.3500/-

I absolutely recommend Acrygel nail/nail extensions. If you are someone who just cannot grow their nails or would like to try extensions just like that, go for Acrygel ones at JCB. Also I would recommend French manicure than normal polish coz it stays forever!!

Update: 3 of my nails came off in 22 days :/ I got all of them removed yesterday i.e. the 26th day coz it was looking very uneven and bad. Also my nails have lost a layer with the glue and are very thin and brittle right now though only the front half from where the extensions started. I hope they grow quickly coz right now they are so weak that they keep bending in any activity I do and that hurts the nail bed.

Have you tried nail extensions yet? What do you think of them?

P.S: Services were provided by JCB but that has not affected my review.
