Lakme Gel Stylist Nail Polish in Tomato Tango : Review, Price, Swatches and NOTD

Before I begin with my experience of this nail paint, lemme tell you just HOW I wish that all these gel nail paints and 'twist-n-remove' kinda nail polish removers had launched back when I got married. 

Oh boy! Half of my honeymoon was spent in keeping the nail paint looking chip free and fresh..lol 

Getting back to the product in question.. "I don't like a true red nail varnish" said no woman ever!! I've always had one in my kitty..AAAALLLWAAAYYSSSSS..!!!

 I was so intrigued to see the celebrities wearing one on their broad based toes and used to wonder how come everyone has a broad nail bed and not me? Do they get it done going under the knife..haha female mind I tell you!!

Anyway.. long story short..I got this Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist nail paint in Tomato Tango in my recent haul and I love it!!

Price: INR 400/ 15ml (you can get it online here)

Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist nail paint in Tomato Tango is a gorgeous warm red..very classy..very sexy!! It brightens up my hands and hides minor flaws! 

LOVE!!!

  The brush is broad and fluffy,I can get my nail painted in just one dip, the second one is only for precision.
The formula is thick and pigmented..2 coats and you're done!

 The nail paint imparts a super glossy finish like you have a heavy duty top coat over it. 

The best thing is drying up between coats isn't a hassle. I do my left hand first and then the right and then I return to left for a second coat and it was all dry.. BEAT THAT! It didn't take more than 20sec to dry on me.

The staying power was a lil' bummer! I had high expectations from a GEL nailpaint. Even though the gloss stayed for almost a week, the third day saw tip wear off which went on to chip further :(

 If I add a few more bucks, I can get an OPI...or for that matter why wouldn't I buy a Maybelline Colorshow at the fraction of a price if the staying power is this?
