NARS New York Dolls Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
NARS New York Dolls Nail Lacquer
Be a Doll, Grab That Purple For Me!
NARS New York Dolls Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as ” purple.” It’s a dark purple with a subdued quality to it, so it doesn’t have a strong red undertone, and it seems just barely blue-based–but it’s so subtle and changes depending on the lighting conditions. Illamasqua Faux Pas is closest inc olor, but it is lighter and had a rubberized finish. Zoya Mira is lighter and more red-toned. SpaRitual Illume is lighter, bluer-based. Orly Purple Pleather is cooler-toned and has a rubberized finish.
This polish dries down pretty quickly, and the best part is it has a high-shine finish that’s glossy and reflective without need of a top coat at all (swatches show what it looks like with no top coat used). It’s almost opaque in a single coat (90%), so I still applied two swatches, but you could almost get away with just one. The formula wasn’t too thick or too thin, and it flowed easily and evenly across the nail without pooling along the sides or streaking. NARS’ polish wears exceptionally well on me, lasting as long as ten days without chipping and only showing minor tip wear.

Yay! One of the few products from this collection on my hit list. Love this unique purple!
I love this colour! It looks really unique and perfect for fall.
This is so shiny! It’s beautiful!
Love this!
Yep, this absolutely *will* be mine. I don’t even care that it’s $18 🙂
Pretty purple, but I fear it might be too similar to China Glaze Grape Pop. :/
This reminds me of OPI “Funky Dunkey”….just more expensive. 🙂 I’ll pass.
On the nails, it seems very blue-purple to me, which I love!
I’m generally not a fan of purples.
But since I’m a big fan of the New York Dolls (the band), I might as well get this nail polish!
As a girlie who adores all things purple, this just screams “Come buy me NOW”!! Love it. Will be camping outside NARS shop to buy up all the stock. Fab-u-lous 🙂
This color is beautiful!!!
Beautiful and glow-y, but I broke my bed By Nail Polish- I can’t even begin to explain… So no more polish for me.
I’m intrigued. Haha.
I loved this and, as you noted, the colour shifts. Even so, the colour was *very* different on my nails than it was on yours. I mean, like a different nail varnish “different”! Outside, the colour looked like that in your last photo but more navy, a sort of dark-blue purple. Inside, it looked purple with a definite dark grey tint! In other light, it was a grey-navy tint! Given my passion for grey, I certainly didn’t object. LOL. But it never looked like how it does in your first photos. How weird that the colour was SO drastically different from that in your photos. I actually went back to double check: http://gi27.photobucket.com/groups/c181/SY4TC2ZMWJ/IMAG0474.jpg

Love a good purple! Plus points for the shine!
What a gorgeous color! Not quite purple but not blue either, I love it!
Ooo, I love that color!
This reminds me of Deborah Lippmann’s I Know What Boys Like. It might be a truer blue. IKWBL leans a little purple.
Yeah I can see how IKWBL is NYD’s lighter sister, but they are totally related
I’m so glad this one got a rave review! I was so hoping it would be great. This is the color I want the most since I don’t really have any blues in my collection. I thought with the purple-ish tone it would look better on me than most blues tend to. I can’t wait to pick this one up!! Thanks, Christine! ;D
