NARS – Page 2 – the beauty endeavor

Sherwood Nail Polish is part of the Holiday 2014 Laced with Edge Collection. Sherwood is a shimmery greyed plum. I haven’t bought a NARS nail polish in many years, since their first release over 15 years ago. I love their new flat and wide brush. It’s slightly curved on the end, and allows for precise placement of polish. The flat wide brush is awesome! I wish OPI, Chanel and MAC all had this brush. It’s not streaky and easy to apply well. It took 2 coats to be opaque. After about 4 days of wear it’s starting to wear at the edges and is probably going to start chipping soon.

The only ones I had similar to compare it to are L to R: Orly Space Cadet, OPI I Knead Sour-Dough, NARS Sherwood, OPI Kermit Me to Speak.

Again on my toes sorry, as I don’t paint my fingernails right now for multiple reasons.

I had to try one of the new NARS lipsticks. Barbara is described as a tan rose and seemed up my alley. It’s a thick, creamy, pigmented color.

It has a nice magnetic case. The colors I tested were all matte, no shimmer. All creamy and heavily pigmented. My main gripe is it doesn’t last a long time. If I’m going to pick a heavy color I want it to last more than two hours. It fades in parts and stays on parts. It’s definitely not drying. And is moisturizing. I usually prefer sheerer lipsticks so the fade out isn’t so bad. That’s probably why this isn’t my favorite formula. I could see some liking it, some hating it. I would rather wear a matte to last longer if I was going to wear something with this level of coverage.
