Nars Desperado

Today I have a very unique nail polish for review.
Nars Desperado, described as an "antique brass" is a truly deep, rich, antique gold with a hint of green. I'm pretty sure it's not a shade that would win everybody's heart but I've never seen a nail polish like this one so I definitely had to have it!
Again, the formula was flawless, it applied itself in two high shine, quick drying coats but a third one brought up all the shimmer perfection and depth.
If you look at the bottle macro picture (feel free to enlarge) you'll see exactly what I mean : it's like Nars was able to capture the essence of an antique heavy velvet fabric in Desperado, or at least that what it makes me think of...

Again, I'm not sure everybody will like Desperado but I must say that I'm impressed with Nars for releasing such an unusual and complex shade.

  2. it's BEAUTIFUL. I really loved it and I think it would work perfectly with all light and mid skin tones, but I'm not sure if it will with dark skin tones.

    always awesome.
