I added a new bright red nail polish to my collection recently. Estée Lauder’s Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Pure Red. Received it care of Yesstyle, it’s a gorgeous color. I was wearing it all last week for the first time. It stayed chip-free for 5 days. It only began to chip due to excessive heat, steam, and water exposure during my all-day Korean Spa visit.

The color is a perfect pure red. It went on smoothly and though I did two coats I think a single coat would have been fine. I used the Ettusais top coat.

BENEFITS

• High shine
• Long Wear

“Formulated with True Vision™ technology to transform ordinary color and make it extraordinary.

• Rich, glossy with an intense, mirror-like high shine.
• Fast-drying. Long-wearing.
• High-pigment, high-impact brilliance
• Resists chipping-even in water.
• High coverage that won’t fade, dull or streak, even in strong sunlight.

Specially designed brush shape makes application incredibly easy.
In 3 strokes-middle, left and right-you’re done.”

This was the first time I used Estée Lauder Nail Lacquer and I’m quite happy with the results.

I purged some old polish today. Colors where the polish was sludge-like or the color had separated. I’m still disappointed that my Dior Royalty Red went bad within 6 months. I don’t think I’ll be buying Dior nail polish again any time soon. :cry:

Within the last year or 2 I’ve gotten strangely picky with my choice in nail color. I’ve talked about this before, but yeah, so these are it!

From left to right -

1. base coats & top coats
2. nude & sheer pinks
3. reds, coral, & glittery orange
4. minty tones
5. glitters!

I don’t keep them in anything fancy. Just this white tray so it’s easy to spot the colors :)

I’m tempted to buy Chanel’s “Frenzy” but we’ll see~~
