Nykaa Nude Nail Enamel Earl Grey Tea Cake Review

I picked up few nail paints from the Nykaa collection and every time I wore a color, I was so impressed by the quality that I ended up purchasing few more colors. Nude Nail Enamel collection is surely a favorite of mine and I was yearning for this Earl Grey Tea Cake color. You don't come across such colors often, except for high-end brands. Those are seriously pricey than this one. Having worn the color quite a few times, here's my detailed review on the same.

My Experience With Nykaa Nude Nail Enamel Earl Grey Tea Cake:

Packaging: Nykaa Nude Nail Enamel comes within a thick-walled rectangular body with a matte slender black cap. It has the applicator attached as well. The transparent body enables you to see the color well and the shade name is written on the side. The applicator is very good and spreads the product well. There is no streakiness or bubble formation and the color goes on very smoothly. Overall, I like the simple yet sturdy packaging as well as the applicator.

Shade: The shade 'Earl Grey Tea Cake' is a charcoal grey shade with warm olive undertones. The shade is very unique and one of my favorites in the whole collection. The color looks charcoal grey in normal lighting and when you see it up close. But under sunlight or warm light, the warm olive undertones is prominent. The color is crème based and has no shimmer or frost whatsoever. It looks perfect for a workplace and classy occasion. It gives a subtleness and style to the nails and looks charming. The shade would be a perfect pick for Indian skin tones.
Pigmentation: The pigmentation impressed me like anything. This goes opaque and clear in a single swipe, which is incredible. I have used Nykaa nail paints before but they require two coats. However, this one is a class apart. Still, I do go for a second coat to make sure my nail polish lasts for the longer duration.

Texture: The texture is of the right consistency and has a creamy formulation. It spreads so well on the nails and there is no streakiness in the appearance. Thus, the finish is a suave gel-like one with a glossy touch. The glossiness stays for a long time and the texture is also quick drying. Thus, you won't have to wait forever to let it dry. It has been formulated without the Toluene, DBP, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor and is surely a total nail-friendly product. It doesn't stain the nails or make it yellow. The smoothness of the product makes the quality stand out around other products. Overall, I loved the texture and it is great to do nail arts as well.
Staying Power: The staying power is around 6 days without a top coat. Sometimes, I wear with the Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat and it stays on for a week. Therefore the long wearing formula is truly stunning. The nail paint is also easy to remove and doesn't take much effort at all. For the price, I think the quality is surely a great one.
