NailsbyJo: Review - L'Oreal 824 Flaming Sunset Nailpolish

For the first time ever I bought a L'oreal nail paint, and I must say I am not impressed.

Called the Flaming Sunset, it fails to live up to its name. 

My major discomfort is with the brush. While the wide brush is designed to make it easy to apply, unfortunately it offers a very chunky application.

For the price this nail paint comes at, it fails to live upto expectation.







I have really long nails, and you can see the result of it. I wanted to add some drama to my other plain red nail polish and it failed. These a black coat which overshadows the glitter. :(

Brush Quality: 1/5

Quality: 3/5

Value for money: 3/5

Availability: 4/5

Drying Time: 5/5

Smoothness: 1/5

Rating: 2/5

Would I buy it again: No

Yay my first post of 2014.

This is the first time I've used nail studs. I was sceptical about using them as was worried they would fall off quickly, but must say they going strong.

I dabbed a little glitter to the tips of my nails in order to balance out the glam on the accent nail.

Bye bye 2013. I love you.

2013 was a great year for me. It started out as a struggle and unfolded in one full of blessings.

It was a year in which I discovered my passion for baking and nail art.

It also presented the opportunity for us to go on a really long holiday to London and Scotland, one where I got to celebrate my birthday roaming in the rain and watching my favourite movie Despicable Me 2.

Well I lost my much loved Samsung S3 a day before my birthday on the streets of London. So :(

This year allowed us to spend most time with our adorable Brielle, my niece and the apple of our eyes. I got to spend so many wonderful moments with my cousin and her husband. Mariella thank you for giving us a roof in London and Conrad for the amazing food. You are truly a chef extraordinaire.

My brother too got married. So we have a new addition to the family. Welcome Priya.

And my best girl friend popped! I have a nephew too now, one who I am yet to meet but I can assure you I am going to spoil him rotten.

Finally, I got to spend Christmas at home in Goa. There aint a real celebration like how we do it in Goa. My Mama and Papa were glad to have a housefull this year with all of us down even cousins.

So yes 2013 was awesome. Thank you God for the wonderful year. I know 2014 will have it's own set of surprises.
