Inglot O2M Breathable Nail Paint

For those of us who are in aware Inglot Company was established over 25 years ago by Wojtek Inglot, a young chemist working at
that time in R&D department in pharmaceutical company.

                                      
             
Inglot began about four years ago to develop the formula for the breathable enamel, which uses a polymer similar to that in the newest generation of contact lenses.

The nail polish now stands as one of the final life achievements of Wojciech Inglot, a Polish chemist and entrepreneur who developed it to create what he billed as a healthier alternative to traditional nail enamels, which block the passage of moisture and oxygen to the nail.
 


Inglot has tested, certified, and guaranteed that their nail
polish is acceptable for women to wear during prayer because of
it’s formula.  O2M polish is considered to be “breathable” nail polish, in which it allows the water that one would wash their hands with during wudu, to penetrate and touch the actual nail underneath the polish.  This allows the nail polish to be halal and acceptable for wear during prayer because the nails are being
cleansed by the water. 





Personally for me there is no such thing as 'Halal' nail polish as the Muslim holy book, the Quran, does not specifically address the issue of nail polish, however some Islamic scholars have said that water must touch the surface of the nail for the washing ritual to be done correctly. 


So girls, here we have the first breathable and halal nail polish which even have Muslimah bloggers doing a rigorous coffee-filter tests to verify Inglots claim. 

             

For me I am happy customer. I love the colors, the texture, shine and over all look.

             

I bought the most gorgeous shades and are perfect for summer.
All of these shades are one coat wonder, so rich in pigmentation and absolutely delicious.
              

They are available in Westfield, London for £10-12
 and also in Enem, Lahore for Rs. 3800.

I also for free primer sample so let see how that works! Will be going back for more. xxoX.

The Burka Avenger

Wonder Woman and Supergirl now have a Pakistani counterpart - the burka avenger

Wonder Woman and Cat women now have a Pakistani counterpart in the pantheon of female superheroes.

The Urdu language show is the brainchild of one of Pakistan's biggest pop star, Haroon - Meet Burka Avenger: a mild-mannered teacher with secret martial arts skills who uses a flowing black burka to hide her identity as she fights local thugs seeking to shut down the girls' school where she works.

Action in the 'Burka Avenger' cartoon series, which is scheduled to start running on Geo TV in early August, is the first South Asian ninja who wields books and pens as weapons. Now who would've thought that coming.

Each one of our episodes is centered around a moral, which sends out strong social messages to kids, But it is cloaked in pure entertainment, laughter, action and adventure.' Rashid said in one of his interview.

What I love is the decision to clothe the superhero in a black burkha. I know a lot of people (less knowledgeable shall we say)  view the outfit as a sign of oppression but for me its super nice as many super heroes use masks to hide their identity. I guess when in Rome do as Romans.

Star fold card Template



As per request I'm sharing a star fold card template. Once you know how to make it you can decorate as you like. 

Take a 12x12 card Make a mark on the top of the page at 15cm and from this mark draw a line part way down the middle of the pageWorking with your ruler from your top  mark make a mark 4cm down this central line. From this 4cm  mark draw a line to the bottom left hand corner and then draw a line from the 4cm  mark to the bottom right hand corner. You will have drawn a Triangle.



Cut along those lines and you will have your triangle base.


Working from your inner triangle points, Place your ruler with the point of the triangle at the 15cm ruler line and make a mark 5cm either side of this ( 10cm and 20cm) . Do this from all three inner triangle points.




Here's a template I saw but I like mine too.


Rub out your pencil marks now.
Fold all the inside lines inwards and all the outer folds backwards.
 


Tuck the folds into one another as shown and then use a bone folder to strengthen the folds. (Valley fold) 




Fold in one side, then the next side, and tuck the last side under the first to close.



Now decorate as per wish!
