Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer Review.

Hey guys! Hope you all are doing well.

In this week’s post, I will be reviewing the Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquers.

Matte nail paints have been a craze all over the world for quite a while now. They look artsy and so Tumblr. Unfortunately for the longest time, matte nail paints were not available in the Indian market. Recently almost after a year of launching their Nail Enamels in every possible shade, Nykaa launched a range of Matte Nail Lacquers. I was personally in love with the colours variation and formula of the Nykaa Nail Enamels and has to try their new range as well.

So without any further ado lets get into the review. 

Price 

The Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer retails fro Rs.200 for 9ml on Nykaa.

It is available in stores like Beautiful in Bandra, Santacruz and Lokhandwala and New Beauty Centre in Khar and Kandivali for Rs.180.

Packaging 

The Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquers come in a basic nail paint bottle every similar to the Nykaa Nail Enamel bottles. However the glass packaging of the polish is given a slightly frosted effect. Each shade has a specific name that is mentioned on the sticker on the bottle. Each shade has a unique number assigned to it which is mentioned on the top of the cap. The applicator is also of the perfect length and density.

Application 

Since the applicator of the The Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquers is of the perfect length and density, the application is super easy. The lacquers settle within a few seconds of application however the first coat takes about 2 minutes to dry. The second coat takes upto 5 minutes to dry up. The second coat is not necessary but I recommend it for the best colour payout possible.

Fragrance

The Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquers smell of acetone like any other nail paint. As soon as the paint dries, the smell disappears.

Longevity

Since applying a regular top coat makes the finish glossy, it is best to avoid a top coat.  Without a top coat and double coat of the the Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer, it lasts for 4-5 days on an average without any major chipping. I personally put my hands a lot under water and my estimations of longevity are based on my personal experience.

Pros

Amazing formula and beautiful range of colours from deep colours to neon shades.

Easily accessible on Nykaa’s website.

Comfortable application.

Does not contain dangerous chemicals like Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor.

Cons

A little expensive compared to regular nail paints.

The colour of the Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer appears a little different on Nykaa. 

Thus I recommend you have a look at nail swatches done by one of the beauty bloggers or pick them up from a store,
