6 sinfulcolors Nail paints Review & swatches !!

Hello all..Thanks for stopping !!

I Love bargain shopping..do you?? so..obviously i love sinfulcolor nail paints..because they are for just $1.99 that is regular price,but they are on sale in walgreens  this week for just a Dollar.so i took the advantage and bought few of them.Lets see what shades i got and my views on them...






Price : $1.99  ( This week they are on sale for $1 each ...time to collect them...)

Packaging : Packaging is quite sturdy,in a glass bottle with the black cap


My views :

As i said earlier ,i love bargains..of course who doesn't love...?? I don't want to spend more than 4 or 5 bucks on nail paints..so when i saw these sinful colors nail paints in walgreens for $1..i grabbed few of them. They have wide range of shades to choose from.The only problem is they have more of sheer  formula polishes in their collection which i am not fan of..may be this is problem for you..if you love sheer formula nail paints..its good !! In the swatches below i applied 2-3 coats of polish to get the desired shade.



 i must say these good quality for the price !! i recommend them

The shades which i got

whipped 1322
sage Rose 1358
Nirvana 949
Mint apple 947
peppered Amazon 1444
Nail junkie 927



Hope my review is helpful ..Till next time..

and here is my video review..:)

Pictorial : Andhra special gutti vankaya koora /spicy eggplant gravy south Indian style !!

Hello all..Thanks for stopping !!

How you are doing...? egg plant/vankaya/brinjal is one of my favourite vegetables..i always love "Andhra special gutti vankaya koora " Its a good combination of all Indian spices cooked in a tasty gravy.Its so delicious..It goes well with rice as well as rotis.
In south India,people from different regions cook this curry in different ways.I tried some of the  versions by reading different blogs/watching videos but this one is the best as per my opinion.it consumes less oil compared to other versions of this recipe and tatses good too..:)

Lets go the procedure


Ingredients :
Fresh tender eggpalnts

To grind Ingredients :
onion
ginger garlic
cumin seeds
green chillies
Curry leaves
salt
garam masala powder
red chilli powder ( my red chilli powder is home made which has cumin and daniya powders included in it )
salt
Finely chopped coriander/daniya leaves for Garnishing

Procedure :

Cut the egg pant/brinjal/vankaya as shown below and place them in salt water,so that they dont change the colour

take 2-3 table spoon of oil in a pan and cook the eggplants untill they are half cooked and keep them seperately


Now its time to make the paste,Take all the grind ingredients mentioned above in a blender and make paste,and stuff our half cooked brinjals with the paste .



Add the remaing paste in a pan along with our stuffed egg plants and cook them by closing lid,adjust salt and chilli .add some water if required


 switch Off the flame..when the eggplants are fully cooked..garnish with coriander leaves,your dish is ready to serve.!!




Till next time.....Stay healthy and keep smiling

How to pack for a short trip !!

Hey all..Thanks for stopping !!

Selecting outfits for a short trip is very difficult for me...because we have to carry 2/3 selected dresses,but whenever we plan a short trip..i always lack of outfits..:) recently we have been to a  two day short road trip to Niagara falls,so this is how i packed my things..hope this post is useful for you if you are planning a short trip !! i will be sharing some tips too...continue reading..





Always remember," less luggage more comfort "..but we girls need lots of thing starting from skin care,makeup,clothes,shoes,accessories,toiletries and alot..right? here is some tips i want to share so that you can keep your luggage less with more comfort.


  • As this is a summer trip,i prefer light weight clothes with fun colours, takes less space so that you can add one extra pair of outfit too..:)
  • Dont carry so many shoes,wear one of your all time comfortable shoes/flipflops and carry a fancy pair of your choice
  • Dont forget your sunscreen,i think only a little makeup is necessary in summers.i can say...i prefer..so i always carry very less makeup with me 
  • Try to carry travel size skin care/toiletries 
  • I carried MY MK bag with me along with i carried this pink patches canvas tote from Aeropostale which is very comfortable and light weight,the only draw back is it does not have a zip closure..:(you can see the bag in the picture above
So here is the things how and what i packed..:)

My skin care cleanser,toner and moisturizer with some Q tips and cotton pads.



My makeup very minimal as you can see..:)


 jewellery organiser which i got from Primark a while ago




My footwear ,my all tome comfortable Guess flip flops and one pair of fancy wedges,both from DSW



so..how do you pack for your short trip??do let me know in the comments below if you want to see my vacation outfits...:)

catch you soon...
