Marc Jacobs Oui! (118) Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer

Marc Jacobs Oui! (118) Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.43 fl. oz.) is a metallic, fuchsia-magenta pink with cool undertones. Illamasqua Stance and Illamasqua Obsess are both similar in color but have cream finishes. China Glaze Senorita Bonita is purpler, less shimmery. Deborah Lippmann Makin’ Whoopee is more fuchsia–brighter. See comparison swatches.

Launching August 9th exclusively at Sephora (looks like midnight PST for online; some local stores are opening an hour early for the launch so you can check with your local store for times), Marc Jacobs’ Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer will be available in 24 shades, and the major selling point of the polish is the high-shine finish. It comes in a flat, glass bottle with a glossy black cap that gets removed and reveals a ridged, rounded interior cap (like Chanel and Dior polishes). I’ve been wearing and testing Oui! in anticipation of the launch. Hopefully, I’ll be able to try and share more shades with you once the full line launches.

The consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin, and it didn’t bubble, pool, or streak when I applied it to the nail. It was very nearly opaque after two coats–there is very slight visible nail line apparent if a lot of light is coming through underneath the nail in close-ups, but I couldn’t see it in person. The finish is quite metallic, and there are somewhat visible brush strokes, which may or may not bother you. They applied fairy straight and are fine threads, so from afar, they didn’t stand out, but those super sensitive to them might want to try a cream finish instead. It dried down slightly faster than average, and the resulting finish was naturally shiny. I wore this shade, and it lasted well with minor tip wear but no chipping for seven days, and I was able to keep it going for as long as ten days with more noticeable tip wear but still no chipping.
