L’Oreal Drop Dead Gorgeous Nail Lacquer

Black and Silver Meet Again

L’Oreal Drop Dead Gorgeous Nail Lacquer ($5.99 for 0.39 fl. oz.) is a creamy black with silver-gray shimmer. It has less shimmer when compared to Illamasqua Creator and NARS Night Breed. L’Oreal The Queen’s Ambition is closer to the other two dupes I mentioned, as the shimmer is larger and more noticeable.

The consistency isn’t too thick or too thin, and the coverage was fully opaque after two coats. I’ve been getting a full seven days with no chipping, just minor tip wear, with L’Oreal’s Colour Riche formula. This is a limited edition holiday shade, which I’ve still spotted in stores as late as last week, but I haven’t seen it available online. I think because the shimmer is smaller, it gets a little lost in the black base (it also seems grayer/more subdued in color), so I’d grab The Queen’s Ambition over this between the two.

Wow that’s pretty. I bought it but haven’t had the opportunity to wear it yet. Maybe my next mani will feature it?

The formula sounds nice–the NCLA polish I have that’s similar had to use 3 coats for opaque coverage but the silver in it is larger and there is more of it. I’m still curious about The Queen’s Ambition though

I was never able to find Queen’s Ambition anywhere. I may have to go for this…if I can find it! lol.

This looks like a reissue of an older polish. I have a loreal polish circa 2005 or 2006 that looks just like this with the ultra subtle silver flecks. In any case, I don’t care for how subtle the shimmer is.

For some reason I have falling in love with these nail polishes. I purchased two, not in this color, but in other colors, and I can’t believe I don’t own a lot of them lol. I love the brush on the L’oreal nail polishes! There perfect!
