Thakoon for NARS is a limited edition collection comprising of six shades designed by Thakoon Panichgul, an American fashion designer of Thai descent. These new lacquers represent bold, vivid shades inspired from Thakoon's Spring 2012 collection and culled from similar hues of the Indian spice market.
I was able to try some of the colors and will be sharing the rest in a bit. But first, I want to talk about one of the shades that I am sporting right now, Ratin Jot. It is a great-looking orchid purple cream that I was immediately drawn to. In this look, I used an image from my Red Angel plate RA-119 using China Glaze in Sci-Fi.
As for the formula, this NARS lacquer was such a dream to apply. In fact, it virtually applied itself. No pooling around the cuticles, and I was able to control the brush and the cap pretty well. It was neither too thick nor too runny, just the perfect formula for a cream, or for any nail polish for that matter. It was also pretty much opaque in one coat, although the swatches are two coats for maximum color and depth.
The staying power is also great. I have been wearing this for a few days now with nary a chip. Just amazing. The only downside is probably for glitter or shimmer lovers as I believe this collection is comprised only of creams. Cream is my favorite nail polish finish, so this is right up my alley. Even if you are not a fan of creams, you will be impressed by the formula of this one.
I will be coming up with swatches and reviews of a few more Thakoon for NARS lacquers, so stay tuned!
