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..

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..
