Being obsessed with nail art lately, I've been finding it difficult to find a site that sells good nail art supplies. After a lot of searching and reading a review on nailsandbeauty.in , I placed my order for 3 items. nailsandbeauty.in is a site that sells genuine Konad products, in addition to a few other brands. There are nail art items, skin care items, jewelry, makeup, makeup, hair-care etc available. Konad is quite pricey, yet it is of good quality so I did not mind. I placed the order on 5th Feb and received the items on 10th Feb.
I bought one stamping plate, a set of nail art brushes and some decorative glitters. Being the legitimate site of Konad, their prices were accurate. I find that other sites charge more for Konad products with extra shipping charges too. This site has free shipping over 300 Indian rupees.
Initially I was worried about the order because, in my order history it was shown as "processing". (In fact even after receiving the item it is still showing "processing" :P ) So I contacted the customer care about it, and received a quick reply stating the courier service they used and expected date. The items were received on the said date, and I am overall satisfied with the experience. I wish they had given a tracking id though.
The 3 tiny items came in a cardboard box, well packed and filled with paper stuffings, and they were well protected. The items were of good quality and as specified on the website. I thought it would be bigger though :P
The 6 nail art brushes (brand Nirus) are of very good quality, and just perfect for nail art. If time permits I will post a review on them. (Price Rs 350)
The stamping plate is of Konad, but I wish the plate patterns were bigger. These patterns are small, so will not be suitable for long nails like mine :( (approx 1.6 by 1.2 cm). It will work great on short nails. On long nails u might have to stamp twice :\ or cover just a part of the nail. I did try them on my nails and the pic is shown below.
The nail art decorations were very tiny and less in quality (again this is a usual situation while shopping online, we expect the product to look as big as the preview pic ), but they are the perfect size for nail decoration so I love them too :D

All in all -Pros-
- Good variety of Konad and other branded products
- Site is simple, attractive and easy to use
- Free shipping above Rs 300
- COD option available
- Additional 14-15% off when using card payment/netbanking (this is useful as u get branded Konad products cheaper than other sites)
- Good Customer Service

Cons-
- Their status shows "processing" (maybe some glitch), no tracking id given (dunno if it is only for my case)
- Din't get any coupon code for registering, or any offers. (usually other sites provide offers on signing up)
- I have not been paid for this review. This is based on my personal experience. I'm very happy and satisfied with their service and recommend nail art fans to give it a try :)
- The products look much smaller in real life.
- Since I prepaid for it I got almost a 15% discount, by which I saved more than 100 Rs on the total order.
