Rouge Louboutin Nail Polish Review

Christian Louboutin - Rouge Louboutin

Hi Everyone, today I am going to be reviewing the most luxury nail polish I have owned to date, designed and created by the genius that is Christian Louboutin... 

This polish was a gift however it retails for £36 in the UK and $50 in the US, which is around double the price of polishes created by brands like Chanel, YSL and Dior.

Lets start with the packaging of this beauty which is worth every penny! The unique design of the bottle blew me away when I opened the box.. It is nothing like I have seen before. The polish comes in a square box with the 'Christian Louboutin' Logo and the polish bottle is a unique red to black ombre crystal shaped bottle. The polish handle design is inspired by the ionic Louboutin heel which is also amazing! 

Below are swatches of the polish in natural daylight and you can see it is a perfect red! I applied one coat and even that was opaque however in the images below are two thin coats of the polish which I think gives the perfect finish. The polish itself is smooth and easy to apply with the unique brush design which makes application simple and tidy (a tip would be to hold the handle as close as possible to the bottom because the handle can get heavy). I did not have to clean up at all after application because there was no mess :D. 

The wearing time for the polish was about 4-5 days which I was quite disappointed with considering the price point, and you could probably find cheaper alternatives which last longer however for me the packaging makes up for it and using a top coat will do the trick. I don't own a pair of Louboutin heels so for me this is as close as I can get at the moment and I will definitely make use of the polish. 

Overall I think the design is beautiful in the way it looks but a bit of work needs to go into the formula of the actual polish. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to add a luxury polish to their collection and is willing to spend the money because the colour is gorgeous and the bottle WILL look pretty on your shelf :) and its one of those one off products which you need in your collection. 

Beware: a TOPCOAT is needed if you want it to last 3-4 days without chipping.

Marc Jacobs Nail Lacquer Review

Hi Everyone! 

For todays post I will be taking about one of my favourite beauty products → NAIL POLISH :D.. Specifically 'Marc Jacobs Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer'. I picked up three of the shades from his collection on my recent trip to France. I went into Sephora and did not step out until I had these in my basket as I have been looking for these for the longest time ever! and they do not sell or ship to the UK :( 

These polishes retail for 18 Euros each so the price point is in line with most high end luxury polish brands...

Lets start by taking a moment for the BEAUTIFUL packaging he has designed for this product. It is simple, unique and classy... and the shape of the bottle is like no other, i love it!... I picked up three shades. 

1. Delphine - a gorgeous everyday creamy browny nude. perfect for everyday wear 

2. Lux - something different! a bright neon yellow shade perfect for making a statement

3. Secret Love - the most beautiful aubergine purple shade I have seen. one of my favourite colours 

Firstly these polishes come with the perfect sized brush, easy to use and not too large so polish application is easy.. Which is important when buying a luxury nail polish. The formula of the polish is an ideal consistency and not thick or clumpy at all... I found that for all three polishes two coats gives enough coverage and when dry, the gel like shine is exactly what I love! So a top coat is not really needed. 

The lasting power of all three I would say is perfect! They last about a week before showing any wear and thats about right as I wouldn't keep a polish on for longer than a week anyway as I like to keep changing up colours :) 

My favourite of all three shades is the neon yellow 'Lux' as i do not own a colour like it and it is such a striking colour which I wouldn't usually go for but have now fallen in love with. 

Below I have swatched all three gorgeous shades..

DELPHINE

SECRET LOVE

Overall I am really impressed with the look, formula and lasting power of all three of these polishes. Marc Jacobs has done an excellent job with his design and I can't wait to try more shades from this line! I would really recommend these to anyone looking to try something different and willing to spend a little more as you definitely get the quality you pay for. These are now some of my favourites.. Let me know what you think if you have tried them too..
