Nykaa Nail Enamel Lilac Scones and Cotton Candy Review

by Deepsikha Majumdar

Hello Ladies!

The Festive season is in full swing and that calls for a lot of shopping right?  And that is exactly what I did! Among all the other things I picked up a few more nail enamels from Nykaa and I’m going to review two of them today.

Nykaa’s nail paint range contains some very beautiful colors. I love the pinks and purples that they launched. So I’ll be reviewing the shade Lilac Scones, which falls under their matte nail enamel range and the Cotton Candy shade from their pastel collection.

My Experience with the Nykaa Nail Enamel Lilac Scones and Cotton Candy

Lilac Scones

Appearance

This nail enamel from Nykaa’s matte nail enamel range is a beautiful color which is a mix of lavender and purple.  The shade is wonderful. As it is on the darker side, this shade is perfect for grand parties. I first wore this shade to a banquet party. Eye-catching, it got me a lot of compliments. The smooth matte texture just adds to the beauty of the nail enamel.

The consistency of the nail paint is not too thin, neither is it too thick. It dries pretty fast and prevents any kind of smudging.  This one is a shade that suits people having fair to medium skin tone.

The only bad thing about this nail enamel is that more than one coat makes it thick and unimpressive. So you need to apply just one coat to make it look pretty and smooth.

How long does it last?

The Nykaa Matte Nail Enamel in the shade Lilac Scones last longer than the shades in Nykaa’s pastel range. This one lasted for almost a week and a half after my first application. It starts chipping off by the end of week two. So it’s best to keep reapplying every two weeks if you want it to last longer.

Cotton Candy

Appearance

This is by far my favorite nail enamel shade that I bought from Nykaa. The exact shade of cotton candy, this is summery pink that goes very well with light colored outfits. This is an everyday shade and I often wear it to college. It’s a bright color that compliments people with both fair and medium skin tone.

Its consistency is thicker than the matte shades. Also, the brush is not very efficient. The brush becomes thick, sloppy and thick after every two to three strokes. This one takes almost ten minutes to dry properly and smudges if not given the required time to dry.

But you can apply more than one coat of the nail paint, but do give it double the time to dry.

How long does it last?

The Cotton Candy shade from Nykaa’s pretty in pastel collection does not last more than a week. It starts to chip off by the end of the fifth or sixth day. So keep reapplying if you want it to stay on your nails for a longer period.
