The Easy & Affordfable Manicure/Pedicure - At Home (DO IT YOURSELF)

Beauty comes naturally but it enhances only when is taken care of.

Beauty Salons are for high end spenders and one has to take appointment and adjust accordingly.

Out of your busy schedule , Why not give less than 10-15 minutes on your hands (& legs) that too without wasting time or money.

Here is very basic techniques one needs to know get the best of Manicure /pedicure , easily ,in a better and cheaper way.
 AND This is not only for ladies but men as well.Who doesn't love being clean and good looking?

You Need : ه Water  ه Manicure or any General Moisturizer  هNail Cutter  هNail Buffer  هFile  هTop Coat  هNail Paints .
(NO BRANDED FLUIDS,SERUMS AND CREAMS ARE RECOMMENDED,THERE'S A REASON BEHIND IT.)

For Manicure /Pedicure You need to :
1. Clean & Moisturize.
2. Cut-File-Shape
3. Push Cuticles (But NOT Cut them)
4. Buffer
5. Apply Top Coat / Nail Paint / French Manicure / Nail Art.

1 Clean and Moisturize

Avoid Too hot or Too cold water. Little warm water will do. You can always add to the water your essentials like bath salts and other serums available in the market.I generally use cleansing milk. Massage then Exfoliate ( Bath salts will do.) Do Not keep your hands submerged in water for long time. They'll age. Avoid soaps.
DO moisturize and then use tweezers to get dirt out of your nails.Apply moisturizers on nails too.

2 Cut-File-Shape your Nails.
Perfectly shaped nails.
I Suggest you cut your nails straight and not try to curve them with nail cutter. No matter what size you want - Long or short nails, Cut them straight or SQUARE. Then while you file them with Emery give them the curvy edges. Square Nails with curved edges are perfect for just every complexion ,any outfit or look and suits all nailpaints as well. You can never go wrong with them.


3 Pushing your cuticles back.
Once you have pushed your cuticles,You nails will pop out and look perfectly manicured.
Now this is a bit difficult and Pro sorta part. You need to get good cuticle/orange sticks. There are cuticle pushing stones also available. Choose what best suits you. Now the tough job is to slightly push them backwards and inwards -Without applying much pressure and hurting yourself.Also remember- NEVER cut your cuticles. Never.


4 Buffer
Am sure all of you have done this before and you do it frequently.Twice or thrice a week maybe. Most essential is to know you buffer. there are plenty of these available with just one side, 3 sides or 4.
Buffers are available in different sizes,shapes and with different properties and side variants.

Know your 4 sided buffer:- It must be numbered from 1-4 .

 #1 Emery -:Used to file the nail from sides/edges. Must not be used on the surface of the nails.
#2 Med-Grit -:Used to erase ridges and surface irregularities.
#3 Fine-Grit -:Used to smooth the nail surface. Gives the "Matte" effect to the surface.
#4 FINEST-Grit-: MOST Important , Most Popular part of buffering ! Am sure you all do it regularly.If your Nail buff is just one sided.Its this one. Variants are Super-gloss,Super shine etc etc..But all do the same..not even a minute and your nails are shiny and glossy as ever!
 Best part is its recommended for boys too because boys cant apply the top coat.
Buffering your nails adds a natural shine to them.Easy and boys can buffer'em too :)

5 Wind it up with colors-glitters-stickons-or-Swarovski :D
Nail paints? Hahh..Go wild with your creativity!! Decide how are you gonna play up that color or how are you gonna funk up your nails in respect to the event. I'll not talk about the options one has for pain-design-artify her nails.
Water marble?Metallic?Magnetic?Swarovski?Glitter?Piercings? Or just a simple french manicure?or the french tip? Do Post in the pictures :) I'll shortly do a post on nail designing :)

Lucknow- a week's vacation (with my camera :) )


A long awaited trip it was. Although i get to visit Lucknow every year, i eagerly waited to see my city, my Lucknow this March. The Perfect 7 Days Vacation.
I've always loved the Mughlai feel i get when am in Lucknow. Thankfully dad agreed to take me for a short drive around the city from where i could see all the beautiful places.


A few pictures i clicked :

Parineeti Chopra sets a New Style Statement in Ishaqzaade with her Look.


"Pari" Parineeti Chopra with her new upcoming movie Ishaqzaade releasing on 11th may has set a new fashion statement with her very elegant and ethnic look.
(PREVIEW)

Notice that :
Outfit: Parineeti wears black waistcoat which is part of western outfit with desi style kurtas and churidars. This indulgence of western with traditional outfit proves to be a great experiment.

One must never fear experimenting and this tinge of west on Desi is really good.
This Ethnic Look of hers is totally different and new..I am sure it will be popular amongst young college girls very soon.

Her ethnic wear is really very simple and compliments her.

Hair:Not very sophisticated and really simple french braid completes the desi and very "Simple" look of Pari in the movie.pretty fringes in the front and mid-length braid behind is again something really good to go with.

Accesories:coming to accesories,what first comes to my mind is Pari's smiley badge on her waistcoat.how cute its is :)

and then her jewelery which in general scenes is just pretty small earrings or Jhumkas and a metallic watch on her wrist.

Makeup: The MOST perfect makeup for her according to the movie. The Neutral/Nude make is just fantastic and her pretty peach-pink lips Along with her highlighted eyes makes her sharp face glow and come up perfectly in every scene.
_______________________________________________________________________
"Parineeti has carried of simplicity in the movie with elegance and perfection!"

Pareshaan - Ishaqzaade

Here is the Video from MOST AWAITED movie these days By ME :D
 Pareshaan - Ishaqzaade. 

At first , when Parineeti begins to lip sync the words it doesn't please me.
A friend of mine said " Such a beautiful song and equally bad video ,it should have been ROCKSTAR sorta video" -Pallavi Verma,Friend.

But I think video is just different in its own way..
The part where Parineeti plays with the Vintage concert Mic With Concert back- lighting is enough for a rockstar like feel.

Its is amaaazingly sung by Shalmali Kolgade. Lyrics by Kausar Munir are no less.
I love song's beats ...everything ♥

Also i must mention that music reminds me of Kailash Kher 's album "Kailasa 's " - Teri Deewani.



     
" very well pointed about "Teri Deewani" & the harmonium portion reminds me of "Saiyaan" :)" - By  ) On Twitter.


And again , the Ethnic Outfit of hers is awesome. The Look . So Simple and Elegant yet Beautiful. Check Preview

Won #PepsiFootyMania contest.Will Post photo when i receive the prize.

So i wont it. :)
But most amazing about winning it is that after the Rockstar Concert passes i won , this is again related to something what I Like :). This contest exited me just because it was about my city Lucknow. and my luck i won it.
I got to know that it was not just a tweet contest but sorta Giveaway.
Will Post photos when i receive my goodies :)

Ishaqzaade | Pareeniti Chopra & Arjun Kapoor | Preview




Newbie Pareeniti Chopra & Arjun Kapoor are ready to set box office on fire with their upcoming flick Ishaqzaade. Theatrical promos look promising and assure audience how great talents are being introduced to bollywood industry. I am myself waiting eagerly for the movie to release because since my first movie ( Dil To Pagal Hai ) , I am in love with Yash Raj Productions and Ishaqzaade promos , fan pages , songs etc etc everything .After a long time i am fanatic about any movie.


 I am sure Ishaqzaade is going to get a mindblowing opening and will be declared hit because Pareeniti & Arjun 's acting talents are indubitable .
Songs from Ishaqzaade are already rocking the charts . I find them too different and really good.Even the very typical item songs every movie has,in Ishaqzaade  are out of the ordinary or simply distinctive. Not forgetting to mention "Chand Baby" - Gauhar Khan looks hot.

Arranging in Order of My Personal Favorite Songs from Movie Best Being On the TOP/First :
Ishaqzaade - Title song
Pareshaan
Aafaton ke parinde & Chokra Jawaan
Jhalla Wallah
 -every song, music -totally different and has the "something new " element in it :)

Lyrics ( Kausar Munir ) : AWESOME
Music ( Amit Trivedi ) : AWESOME
Singers :  PERRFECT !!

Talking about celebs,how can we forget looks ? ARJUN ♥ :)
I think Pareeniti & Arjun are really a good pair and brining in newbies is a really good decision .
Arjun is seen with really good expressions in the movie promos and best is his Abs-show in Chokra Jawan song.
Parineeti has set a new style statement with her Braided hair ( French ) & Waistcoat-on-Desi ETHNIC Look.
Parineeti - well , I really like Priyanka Chopra and comparing the cousins make no sense at all.First they are two individuals with their own individuality and then cousins to each other.
But Comparison occurs naturally ( Not being hippocratic ).
Since i've seen Parineeti i feel that she has better NATURAL beauty than Priyanka has. Parineeti is pretty .
Her acting as seen in Ladies V/s Ricky Bahl is again - Indisputable.

Coming to the Backstage cast : Directors( HABIB FAISAIL)  , Producers  etc etc :| __Are NOT to be questioned I have faith in Yash Chopra Production ( Aditya Chopra ) :)

Final Verdict : Worth Watch ! 11th May it is !
This summers : #GoWatch #Ishaqzaade .

P.S. This was supposed to be about the song Pareshaan from the movie Ishaqzaade, but i ended up writing a Preview :D

Relationships 2009!A Times of India Article on “5 Striking ways How Love Aaj-Kal is Different from that of our mom dads.


Yesterday only, I was reading The Time Of India, Students Edition. The article was divided,hal on first page and rest on the 7th in details. Article was with images of Love Aaj Kal stills. It was "Bonding In The Time Of GenY", & "You, Me & Bonding 2009". Every one was reading the same article. Here it is, what the article said!
Love Aaj Kal becomes the Big hit at the BO. Reason? It Strikes a chord with generation Y … Reason? It reflects Gen 2009's Manta of love… friendship for life… relationship…
The exclusive TOI NIE survey finds out the "5 stiriking ways in which love aaj kal had changed from that of our mom&; dads.
  1. PDA mangta 25%
    That's the very must have for any GenY-er relationship to work...and the primary way how relationship today differ from that of our parents. Today, In race with time, Eye Contacts & Hand Written letters have taken a back seat.We want those who can express themselves vocally, both in person through SMSes, calls and online communities. No one cares about actual deep feelings. It's more about being together,says a student.

     
  2. Its gotta be ASAP! 15%
    Gone are those days when rose petals determined the status of relationship. Today it's the age of the fast and the furious. Everyone today wants a relationship to work quickly, it needs to start fast, work fast, and if need be breakfast! In Fact ties today are all about balancing and multi-tasking.

     
  3. Take pride, don't hide! 11%
    And not only love is about vocally expressing ones desire for and to other, it's also about letting the world know you're in for something special. Bollywood stars. Just look at the new lot – John-Bips, Ranbir-Deepika, Saif-Kareena. Just because they tell the world there are no gossips about at least them as couples. And things remain smooth with no misunderstanding between them. We really need to take a lesson from that. So why not feel more special by telling the world and be on a high!

     
  4. I do… I Don't? 40%
    Teens 2009 love their freedom. Maybe that's why the thought of committing to one person for the rest of their life in enough to send them into hiding. We strongly feel possessive in a relationship is a thing of the past. Today, its more live and let live. After all distance does make the heart grow fonder. Not to say that commitment is a big "never" for youngsters today.

     
  5. No strings attached!
    And just in case things don't work out the way they should, moving on in life is the mantra of GenNow. Unsuccessful relationships are either met by end of all relationships or end of a life. Today options are unlimited – if things don't work out there are no hard feelings. "You go your way and I go mine so that we both move on."-adds Amit Anand,a Teenager. "Values like support, faithfulness, mutual respect and honesty once ruled friendships. Today, it is just that they seem to be replaced and cut down to TWO PRIMARY EMOTIONS – Feeling good and mutual admiration/cooperation."

Brazilian kudi,Harleen of Love Aaj Kal (A Delhi Times News Article)



BRAZILIAN KUDI

Harleen in Love Aaj Kal is not a Punjabi lass at all, she’s Brazilian babe Giselle Monteiro. DT got talking to the Latina...

HARSHADA REGE Times News Network



Wondering who Harleen Kaur, the demure Punjabi kudi who has Saif swooning over her in
Love Aaj Kal, really is? She’s Brazilian model Giselle Monteiro, 20, who can barely speak Hindi. As to how she landed herself a Bollywood film, Giselle smiles, “I came to Mumbai last year and within 20 days was signed for this film. I was at a photoshoot when someone told me that Imtiaz Ali was looking for a foreigner to play Saif’s girlfriend. It was a small role, but I thought I’d give it a shot, and when I went for the audition, Imtiaz felt I would be perfect as Harleen.”
Giselle’s not new to the arclights. She began modelling back home when she was only 17. “My dad told me that if I wanted to carry on studying I’d have to fund myself. Also, I wanted to travel, so I left home and travelled around the world.” From Europe to Hong Kong to Thailand and finally India, Giselle’s now at home in Mumbai. She wasn’t surprised she was asked to play a Punjabi girl. “I’m often asked if I’m an Indian, so coming to India and exploring the market here was always on my mind. Luckily for me, I was playing a shy girl in the film, so I didn’t have too many dialogues,” she laughs. “Right now, all I can say is chai lao and namaste!”And Bollywood’s started taking notice. “I haven’t signed anything yet. I have to start attending language and dance classes. It’s difficult to cope with the jhatkas, but I am getting into the Bollywood groove now,” she says.

IMTIAZ SPEAK

Says Imtiaz Ali, director of
Love Aaj Kal, on why he chose a Brazilian, “I was auditioning girls from all over the country but couldn’t find the right girl to play the 1965 ki gali mein rehne wali ladki,purane zamane ki.”
Giselle walked into Imtiaz’s office one day for the part
of Saif’s firang girlfriend. “She wasn’t right for Jo, but I realised she was Brazil’s Harleen.”Giselle understood the old-world values of her small town character better than an urban Indian actress would have. “The small-town mentality in every part of the world is similar,” he says.
Even when Harleen was seen in the trailers, her identity was a closely guarded secret. When she came to Delhi for the premiere of the film on Thursday last week, Giselle was available for photographs, but forbidden to say a word. At the time, the representative from Saif’s production company who accompanied her refused to tell DT her name, and only said that “she plays Harleen, and she’s very happy. She’ll give interviews later.” She did answer to her name when called by it, which was perhaps a slip at that point!
