Fall Product Review: Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Platinum Twighlight
What They Say: "A luxurious new brilliance at your fingertips.
Rich, glossy, quick-drying and long-wearing. Truly intense color is so shiny it looks wet--but don't be fooled.
Resists chipping, even in water. Won't fade, dull or streak, even in strong sunlight.
Specially designed brush shape makes application incredibly easy. Just three strokes of color--middle, left and right--and you're done.
Even the bottle is striking."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Looking for a polish that will get you on board with the Metallics Trend this season without being too "modern" or "obvious"? This is the shade AND the product for you. This light purple-silver frosty metallic is subtle enough to be classic-looking as well as up-to-the-minute.
The brush is, as they say, a fabulous tool for applying even color in just a few swipes. This is also substantial enough to use only one coat and still have good coverage. Because of the bit of frost in this particular shade, it's not glossy-slick in finish, but it does have a nice shine. If you add a glossy topcoat, you can add more of a smooth finish.
This does indeed dry fairly quickly and lasts at least several days with no chipping. I've found a new favorite!
Retail Price: $18.00 (at esteelauder.com or go here to find a select retail location near you)
