I got the nails done in the shade ‘Illusion’. This is the nail section..

Illusion is a metallic lilac silver..one prettty shade it is ! I loved it..in fact all four shades in this range look great..
There is a hair makeover section and a makeup section too..Remember my hair last time (see HERE)
This time since the Salon was set up inside Hyatt itself..heat could not be used and hence there were only upstyles and braids..which I was not too keen on..so did not go for the hair makeover this time..only got my nails done..
I attended the Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass (Read about it HERE) and 2 shows-
Papa Don’t Preach/ Ken Ferns/ Gaga/ Sonaakshi Raaj (Ken Ferns’ Showstopper was Gauahar Khan and Sonaakshi Raaj’s Showstopper was Prachi Desai)
