Reswatch - NARS Midnight Express

Like I have been harping for a while, I don't have much new polish to show you guys, so I decided to do another series of "reswatch" posts. Basically, these are polishes that I have kept in my stash, but have not photographed since I first got them!

Hope this is not too boring for you guys :) It's this or... uh... nothing.

This is one of my favourite jelly polishes! It was one of my first NARS polishes that I ordered along with NARS Zulu from Sephora when they re-released a bunch of limited edition polishes. I originally wanted Zulu for all the hype, but ended up LOVING Midnight Express way more (fact: I purged NARS Zulu. I prefer Illamasqua Rampage because it looks green, not black). I actually really like the brush and the cap. NARS polish is really expensive, though. I don't have any other NARS polishes in my stash, at the moment.

Normally I wear it 2 coats on its own. To get it photograph correctly, I had to use about 4 coats, I think. But 2 is perfect for real life :) I love wearing this under Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe, also.

I just love this polish! I think Nfu Oh has a very close jelly to this; do you guys know of any other dupes?

Oh p.s., I have another Lilacquer collection to show you soon! I just received minis of her new Fifth Element collection yesterday, but haven't had time to swatch yet! If you liked duochromes a la Sally Hansen Nail Prisms (the non holo ones, obviously), I think you'll be interested to see this collection! :)

NARS Zulu and Midnight Express

Sephora F&F really did a toll on me this year! By the time I got around to my third (!!!) order, polishes that I had managed to resist jumped into my cart.

Notably:


NARS Midnight Express and Zulu :D!


NARS Midnight Express - Sorry for the dust/bumps on my ring fingernail. This is so gorgeous, but really really dark.


NARS Midnight Express with underwear - I retook the pic with underwear (Orly Country Club Khaki).


Nars Zulu - Again sorry for the weird dust.


NARS Zulu with underwear - I retook the pic with underwear (Orly Country Club Khaki) and prefer it this way!

Do I think they are worth the hype? Well, Zulu is a little overrated for me and ME underrated. I love the consistency and application of both, and I'm glad to have them. But if they weren't 20% off with free shipping, I would not have purchased them, simply because I'm not especially drawn to dark colours. I was never really lemming them, but am pleased they are now part of the family ;)
