Studio West Pure Passion Vivid Nail Colour in 360 Latte

Westside has recently launched their in house makeup and skincare line called Studio West. Their makeup line is quite affordable and has some great line of products. I went to pick some of their stuffs, but to my sadness the only things the Camac Street Westside had was nail polishes. The SA told me they were out of stock of everything else. How strange. So I picked up only nail polish. There are were some great colours available but what too my fancy the most in this beautiful coffee colour called 360 Latte. They have all variants by the way, glitter, metallic, pastels. Do check them out.

Packaging ~

I love square bottles rather than cylindrical ones, as the latter one tends to slip from my hand more. Why ? I am Miss Butter fingers that's why !! The cap has a matte finish with criss cross patterns giving the overall look of the bottle very fancy.

Bristle ~

The bristle is quite thin but perfect enough to apply nail polish decently. It is soft and smooth. With thin bristles you can do nail art quite well if you do not have any nail art brush.

Color and Texture ~

The shade is a perfect flesh toned brown. To be honest the best coffee shade I have come across in recent times. The color is so perfect for everyday use, looks elegant and natural on my dusky skin. The nail polish is quite runny, this is not a gel polish. But I have noticed that you would require a minimum of 2-3 coats to make the true color pop. In my NOTD below I have applied 4 coats.

Price : Rs 145 for 9 ml
Available : In Westside stores

My experience ~

As told earlier, one cannot expect a good colour finish with just one coat. The nail polish applies smoothly and dries decently. It takes about a minute to dry completely. I have seen this problem a lot with Maybelline Colorshow nail polishes, it bubbles up after applying multiple coats. Maybelline one bubbles up really bad. This studio west one does the same too. But not as bad a Maybelline though. I did not like this part about the nail polish, while the rest everything is pretty good. The price I feel is a bit steeper. This should have been priced around Rs 100 to Rs 125.

Overall, if you are Ok with the price and can ignore the bubbling up factor, then you can definitely get few of the colors. They have quite a good range.

I am a girl for whom a simple coat of nail polish is way too boring. So since this is a coffee / latte shade I decided to have my ring finger adorn a latte art. A heart which usually comes with your every order of caffe latte at a coffee shop. So I tried to replicate that. Well, I don't think the heart turned out quite well. What so you think ? Let me know in the comments below. May be I can do it better next time.
