was dying to show these nails paints from Lakme Gypsy Collection. Lakme has added such pretty shades in the Gypsy collection . I am loving them π
Price Rs 90
PS: I am no expert at applying nail paints so please forgive the application mistakes. π
After trying almost 100 nail paints from Lakme, I have come to 3 conclusions:
- They chip.
- Metallic nail paints last longer than the non metallic ones.
- We are top coat, always to make them last longer.
- You can never be sure which color would go streaky and which would not. From the Gypsy collection, all colors went on smoothly. None of them streaked. The nail paints easily glide on your nails.
Anyway to the shades. There are 8 nail colors in the Gypsy Collection.Β I have 7 of them. All shades are gorgeous. There is something for everyone. π
L-R 246, 530, 043, 245
L-R 243, 044, 422
Lakme Nail Colour 044 : It’s one of favorite shade from the collection. 044 is a duo chrome mehndi green nail paint with reddish brown shimmer. It’s a little sheer with juts one application.Β It gives a beautiful metallic look after the second coat.
Lakme 246 Nail Colour : This nail color looks magenta in the bottle but comes out as sheer pink on application. It has lots of silver shimmer. You need two coats to bring the real effect.
Lakme 422 Nail Colour : It’s a tomato red nail color. There is red and golden shimmer to it. good for wedding functions etc. This is the only painful nail paint in the whole collection. When you remove it it stains your fingers and it takes ages to get removed. There is color all around your fingers. It’s like a dye. π
Lakme 530 Nail Colour : I loovvvvvvvvvvvveeeee the shade. It’s a duo chrome golden henna color. The shimmer is henna green. You need two coats of it.
Lakme 043 Nail Colour : It’s a metallic blue color with silver and royal blue shimmer to it. Just one coat of it and you are good to go.
Lakme 243 Nail Colour :It‘s a deep purple nail color with purple blue shimmer.
Lakme 244 Nail Colour: It’s a lavender nail color.
I am so enjoying using these nail paints.They are such bright, beautiful and lively colors :))

Which Lakme Nail Color from the Gyspy Collection do you like the most?
Products sent by company for consideration.
lovely……i am going to get my hands on 044 for sure.
But I have one major problem..my nail colour chips within 1 day..it’s so frustrating. I apply base & top coat(Avon). Any tips?
The only tip I follow is that I make sure there is no oil or cream on my nails before applying nail paints. That’s it. And I just apply a colorbar top coat. Works fine for me.. π
:lashes: π
?:-) ?:-) ?:-)
few lakme nail paints chip …….. am in doubt , since u said GYPSY do not chip :inlove: , i may wanna try them :-* :-*
No I didn’t say that they don’t chip. It’s just that they go on without any streaks and since most colours are metallic, they go on longer than the usual colours.
i like 244, o44, 530. why did u not swatch the 244 one? :panda: it’s beautiful.
I don’t have 244. π π I mentioned it. π
oh. π
Wow….the pink and the metallic blue are too good. :-*
Monica, ur nail color chips within a day :yes: , :secret: mine within an hour… :no:
I keep buying nail colors as i love to color my nails but because they dont stay long i rarely color them and end up throwing them in the bin after sometime (after i feel its more than a year that i bought them). Many of them r in the bin just after a single use :smug: . Inspite of all this, i somehow forget getting a base/top coat when shopping. :curse:
Rati,
what crime did the lavender nail color commit for not having the privilage of painting ur nails?????
I don’t have that shade . When I went to purchase it the shop had still not received the stock.. π
