Inglot Pastel Collection Nail Enamel 972 Review, NOTD

What the Company claims: Durable, high gloss, medium drying time formula

DOES NOT CONTAIN:
– toluene
– formaldehyde
– dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
– camphor

Apply two coats.
Make sure that first coat is completely dry before applying second one.
Some shades look best with three coats.

NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS

15 ML/0.51 US FL OZ


Pastel shades:

MRP: Rs. 490/-

972 is a pretty pastel peachy pink (P4) shade..Inglot has five shades in their Pastel Collection Nail Enamels..I quiet like this peachy pink..Pastels are not something I am in the mood of everyday…but I love pastels at times..And the rest four shades i.e yellow,violet, green and blue are equally nice..

Its toluen, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) free. Stays well without chipping for 5 days. The only issue is it chips from the centre instead of the edges.

You would require 2-3 coats for it to show up..one coat comes up quiet sheer. These are a little expensive for a nail paint..but 15ml is quite a good quantity too.

If you like pastels..I would surely recommend them.

The 50ml packaging comes in a tube form and the 120 ml packaging is this inverted flat oval shaped bottle with a normal flip cap.

Its transparent with a light green tint..has that neem and camphor smell. It does not foam much but cleanses skin well…not that super clean feeling..as it leaves a little slick feeling.

4. Does not dry out the skin.

3. I am not sure if this can help with acne or open pores..as I do not think a face wash can.
4. Availability is an issue with Vedic Line..but you can get it on Urban Touch, Good Life and a few other sites.

Overall its a decent face wash for everyday..cleanses skin well and does not dry it out..You may try it out if you like using Neem Face Washes or those with Natural Ingredients.
