NARS Night Porter Nail Lacquer

NARS Night Porter Nail Lacquer ($17.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as “black with green pearls.” The base is definitely very dark, more like deep, dark forest green, but there is a lot of emerald green, olive green, and copper-gold shimmer, so it ends up looking like a very dark, sleek forest green with multi-colored shimmer. China Glaze Glittering Garland is more of an emerald green with more yellow undertones. Zoya Edyta is similar but has more of a metallic finish. Nubar Verde is similar but, again, has a metallic finish, which gives it a much more reflective sheen. The shimmer in the previously two mentioned shades is larger, not as fine as in Night Porter.

Like the other shades in the series, Night Porter is richly pigmented–almost opaque in one coat–and needs two coats for full color coverage.  It does dry down to a semi-matte finish, so I’ would recommend using a shiny top coat to achieve that glossy finish.  NARS’ polishes typically wear a week on me with minor tip wear and no chipping.  I was so impressed with how fluidly Night Porter applied; the polish glided across the nail surface and gave great, even coverage.

Where to Buy: NARS, $17.00

I was so impressed with how fluidly Night Porter applied; the polish glided across the nail surface and gave great, even coverage. The color is beautiful, and there's this cool-warm vibe to it, so I think it would look good on both warm and cool complexions.

I found the almost perfect dupe for less than a dollar!!! :D It's from a mexican brand named bissú

How to i got it, It's absolutely Lovely

Beautiful! I'm addicted to green nail polish, so I might find it difficult to stay away from this one (but I really should).

i love your nails <3 and amazing color

How can you have nails like that while moving ???

These were taken months ago!

Looks like I might need this one too :)

I have this, and love it!

It's so beautiful! Are these 3-free,fromaldehyde and camphor free?

a good dupe is revlon rainforest

When do you think this will hit Sephora stores?

This has been out since last fall so if it's not there now, it either is gone or it won't be there!

I absolutely love this deep green shade, it's really right up my ally!

I'm loving all the nars night polishes I might just have to stop and buy one or two next time at the mall

What a gorgeous green! Love it.

This is lovely. It would make a nice St. Patrick's Day mani.

At $17.00 a bottle and it last one week on your nails, sounds like a bargain to me
