NARS Night Rider Nail Lacquer
NARS Night Rider Nail Lacquer ($17.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a “soft plum with silver glitter.” It’s a pink-plum with silver glitter–but the way the glitter sits against the pink-plum makes it appear almost like a really pale, silvered lilac. I couldn’t think of any good dupes for it, but Nubar Treasure Nail (darker purple) and Milani Hi-Res (holographic, darker) were the closest–I wouldn’t say they’re close, though.
Night Rider is opaque in two coats and requires no patience at all during application, because the formula balances consistency with pigmentation, so it applies evenly, fluidly, and without a hitch.  I typically get a week of wear out of NARS’ formula with minor tip wear but no chipping.  I’m not unforgiving to my nails, but I don’t make any attempts to preserve a manicure, so I definitely use my nails as tools!

Gorgeous!
I NEED this! I’ve been looking for the perfect 90’s Barbie shade and I think this is a jackpot!
This is sooo pretty!
Reminds me a lot of Butter’s No more waity-katie.
Models Inc ‘Mystic Mauve’ is a slightly lighter dupe
i LOVE this!
Ohh love love LOVE! 🙂 must must have this! Thanks for the review, christine! 🙂
That’s really gorgeous.
Ok it is time for me to ask a dumb question, when you demonstrate nail polishes, are those your actual nails or do you test on easy to apply fake nails? Because they always look ridiculously perfect, and my nails are feeling intimidated.
Always my real nails – I have never had fake nails except maybe when I was 10 or so and stuck some on or something (and I can’t even remember doing that!). I don’t usually keep my nails at this length – if they’re this length, it’s usually because I’ve been too lazy to trim or file, lol! Right now, they’re super short because I cut them down prior to moving.
Ooh, that’s lovely.
It’s so prettyyyyy. I’m always a sucker for pink 😉
Oh yeah. I’m all over this color. I’m definitely gonna grab me more then one that’s for sure.
I’m gonna end up buying all of the Night line shades… Not good April, Not good

Wow! That’s beautiful and unique enough that I might splurge on it. Tempted now!

That is a gorgeous color. I’m not sure what season it would look best in, though.
