Tom Ford Black Jade Nail Lacquer
Tom Ford Black Jade Nail Lacquer ($32.00 for 0.41 oz.) is a blackened green with subtle neutral-to-cool undertones and a fine lighter green shimmer. It was nearly opaque in a single coat, though I applied two to be sure. The finish was naturally glossy when it dried down, and the coverage was smooth and even. It wore well for seven days on me with very minor tip wear. NARS Shutter (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery. NARS Night Porter (LE, $20.00) is lighter. Dior Amazonia (LE, $24.00) is warmer, less shimmery. Deborah Lippmann Billionaire (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Tom Ford Indigo Night Nail Lacquer ($32.00 for 0.41 oz.) is an inky, blackened navy blue with fine, brighter blue shimmer. It was opaque after two coats of polish, and the color went on evenly with smooth, glossy end results. The texture was slightly thin with this shade. This shade also lasted for seven days on me with very minor tip wear. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Distortion (LE, $10.00) is warmer. Wet ‘n’ Wild Mazel Tov Madness (LE, $3.99) is brighter. NARS 413 BLKR (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery, brighter. NARS Night Flight (LE, $20.00) is lighter. MAC Double Trouble (LE, $16.00) is brighter, less shimmery. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Love the black jade one. My kinda color 🙂
Yayy!
I am so glad you gave these good reviews Christine, since I ordered both yesterday from the TF website and lo and behold, they shipped and I should get them this Saturday … on another note … my eye duos say “picking” which is better than “backorderd” lol… hope theygets here before March 2nd though … (anxious)
P.S.
This was my first nail polish order from TF … I feel in love with the Indigo Night on sight!
Fingers crossed you get your TF goodies shortly! 🙂
I think YSL’s La Laque Couture in 17 Bleu Cobalt is a great dupe for Indigo Night. The price difference is minimal, but I find the YSL formula and brush easier to work with than Tom Ford’s.
Thank you, Myan!
Love the first one. Revlon Colorstay has a dark green called Rain Forest. It’s not as black and has more gold glitter, so it’s more like a dupe for Night Porter.
Nice!
I like the blackened greens and blues, kind of edgy looking, but it’s a strange choice for spring…. Unlike the shadows in this collection, which you can wear sheerer to get a spring look, these have a total fall/winter feel. I guess it goes with the rocker theme, but I think it would’ve been better if they took the shimmery, iridescent shadow shades and turned them into a nail polish color, so it’s more spring-like. Eh, how about that? Maybe I can be consultant to Tom Ford?
I think MAC did shades just like that, actually! (Top coats.)
Oh, that would be cool! Pastel polishes with iridescent shimmers of plum, jade, and indigo to match the lighter shadow in that duo, that would be really nice for spring
Tom Ford took his spring nail polish and went completely vampy. I thought I couldn’t love this man more. Finally there are darkened greens and blues to go with my vampy reds and purples.
Is the blue shimmer from Indigo Night hard to photograph on the nail?
It’s very fine, and it’s pretty dark, so the shimmer is only really noticeable with a lot of light!
*Swoon* Both of those are incredibly gorgeous. Surprising for spring, but I like.
Glad ya liked ’em!
Beautiful polishes! The price point is too high for me, though. $32 is pretty steep.
Totally understand 🙂
Zoya Noot is a blackened green, a little more green than than black (whereas the Tom Ford is a little more black than green), but it’s a lovely formula and 1/4 the price.
They seem super dupable 🙁
They probably are! Most polishes are, lol!
Oh, I love them both! If I were a rich girl I would have them both along with both of the colored mascaras that are haunting me, as well as black because the reviews for it are phenomenal..but $44 for mascara GAH!
You’d have to make sure to get through that tube, lol!
I know right! The black I can justify and I am thinking about trying the black maybe next time i get mascara because it gets great reviews and I typically have 2-3 mascaras going at once in the $20-$30 range..So that is justifiable. The colors..ugh..I hate that mascara thing..why cant it just stay good until it’s gone?!!! Don’t answer that.lol..rhetorical question.
i just pre-ordered the Blue one! my first Tom Ford nail color 😀
Enjoy! xo
Both are beautiful on you!
Thanks a lot, Deborah!
Haha, these are both totally rogue-appropriate shades, LOL! Perfect for sneaking (especially if you use a matte topcoat, but there are some sacrifices this rogue will never make for stealth 😉 )
I was going to say ‘these are surprisingly dupeable’ but then I see that all of the immediately visible dupes say ‘LE’ on them, so… 😀 Still want that 413 BLKR NARS one though…
Haha! 😉
Wow! Indigo Night. Not sure it I’ll wear it in the spring, but will probably pick it up just to have it a the ready!
I love that they are different than the norm for spring, at least!
I can see the green and blue, but I like my greens and blues to look like greens and blues, not black with a tint. More for everyone else!
I’m the same way 🙂 I’d love both personally if they were brighter + lighter!
Not a fan of the black but the Indigo .. oh, my !! Gorgeous!!
Monica.
Happy ou liked one of ’em!
I wish the shimmer had a better flash on the nails!
I hear ya 🙂 It’s very fine – both of these are too blackened for my taste!
Gorgeous. Black jade especially.
Do you think you’ll get either?
Okay Black Jade is gorgeous! Makes me want a black manicure now
Funn!
I gasped when I saw Jade, so beautiful!
😀
I loved and bought both of these. They remind me of two Illamasqua polishes, for some reason.
Christine, did you have any issues with staining?
I think there was a smidgen of staining with Indigo Night but so faint that it was hard to tell.
