Beautify yourself with beautiful nails


= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =


Well-groomed nails with appropriate matching shade of a nail-paint no doubt adds great beauty to a well-dressed woman. Nails have been pre-formed on human-beings in accordance with the type of hands and shape of the body.   While regularly cleaned & trimmed nails provide great self confidence, a habitual pedicuring and manicuring strengthens the cuticles and prevent nails from breaking, thus helps beautifying them.


Nail Paints


= = = = = =


Every one of us know the importance of nail paints, which ultimately makes our well-trimmed nails really striking ! Apart from giving a woman the completeness of the make-up, nail paints protect nails against blows by firming and strengthening the surface of the nails.


Application of Nail Paints


= = = = = = = = = = = = =


Application of nail paints is purely an art which many people are unaware of ! Follow these steps for best results :


• Before the application of nail polish, the most vital course of action is to first remove the existing nail paint with a branded nail-polish remover


• Next step is gently massage hands and nails with a buffing cream or a body lotion. For very dry hands, use a softening hand buffing cream before going to bed in the nights and wear gloves


• The best way to make your nail polish appear pretty and eye-catching is to apply your favorite / matching shade of the nail paint in one stroke down middle of the nail from base to the top and just one stroke on either sides. For a more darker shade of the colour you choose, the same procedure could be repeated once again, but definitely not more than that - here, remember the principle “First in the middle, then on either sides!!!”


The Popular Ones


= = = = = = = = =


Revlon, Avon, Elle 18, Oriflame, Lakme, Tips & Toes etc. are some of the most popular & reliable brands marketing hundreds of colorful shades of nail paints. It is an indubitable fact that Elle 18 and Tips & Toes are the cheapest in the market and possess a variety of attractive colors. Elle 18 has lot of fluorescent colors & shining dotted nail paints too !


Super-Dooper Hits of Elle 18


= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =


Elle 18’s first product launched in the year January 1996 were the light shades of nail paints. After 8 months of the first launch, Elle 18 introduced darker shades of nail polishes followed by the nail polish remover, talcum powders and the body / deo-sprays. As soon as they were launched itself in ‘96, Elle 18’s Baby Blush (light white color) and Wicked Violet (a lavender shade) became super-dooper hits and the maximum sold shades of nail paints in the market. These are my forever favorites of Elle 18 too !


Mainly youth-oriented, Elle 18 now has nearly 100 shades of nail paints including very unusual dark shades, the glitzy dotted shades, fluorescent colors etc. Electric Blue and Vivacious Magenta are the latest hits of Elle 18 !!


Tiny bottles of Elle 18


= = = = = = = = = = =


Elle 18 was the first of its kind to introduce the economical tiny nail paint bottles at a cost of INR 14/-. These tiny bottles were made available @ every cosmetic store, supermarkets & shopping outlets, which made it yet another grand success. Youths loved to go in for these small bottles due to the reasons that they were very economical and were more like sample bottles.


What I love about Elle 18 Nail Paints


= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =


I am an ardent admirer of Elle 18 Nail Paints and have been using it for more than 8 years now. Being a long-term user of the product, let me tell my opinion about Elle 18 nail paints :


• Application : A single coating itself makes the shades very presentable, which is not the case with Tips & Toes and Avon


• Drying Time : Being a long-term consumer of Elle 18, I would affirm that Elle 18 is definitely not like the other review in MS – the nail paints get completely dried up in a matter of maximum 7 to 8 minutes


• Longevity : A good nail paint should be long-lasting – yes, Elle 18 nail polishes are fairly long lasting. To make them last much more longer, first apply Elle 18 nail paint and allow it to get completely dried up for 15 minutes and on that, apply a thin layer of any transparent nail enamel or a top coat sealer.


• Fragrance (Smell?) : When compared with Avon & Revlon nail paints which have very pleasant fragrance, Elle 18 has a bearable repulsive aroma, which is a main drawback in them.


A few Tips :


= = = = = =


• Application of Base coats before applying nail paints is highly recommended, ‘cause the colorless & natural looking base coat forms a tough layer on the smooth nails thereby preparing the nail surface for a smoother and a very long-lasting application of nail paints


• Always before applying nail paints, massage the hands & nails gently. This will make the nails appear more sexy and attractive


• If possible, do always keep a Nail care kit with you basically containing a clipper, filer, cuticle oil / cream, hand cream, crack prevention gel etc. and do use them at least once a week for best results. Massaging hands and nails with carbanide silk moisturizing creams sold in beauty parlors also give best results


Over all, Elle 18 nail paints are worth a recommendation as they are very economical, have variety of shades and long-lasting.



Enjoy sexy nails with Elle 18 ………..


Love,
