YSL Pure Colour Lacquer 96
In the bottle YSL's 96 is a warm ivory shimmer with just the right mix of silver micro-glitter. I finally got around to wearing it last weekend for a date night with hubby. I was expecting it to be soft and pretty but it just turned out to be disappointing as a manicure. Three coats of colour resulted in a white, streaky mess and not the soft look I was going for at all. It actually succeeded in making my hands look grimy! Of course you can hardly see the silver glitter at all.
Here's the evidence:
I'm sure I bought this one on sale and now I can understand why. Verdict: FAIL!!!
That's all for now.

Doh that sucks when a polish isn't what you expect on the nail! =( May I suggest perhaps layering it over a darker polish..? It might work that way! The microglitter looks lovely in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteI've actually tried layering extra glitter over the top of it but I like your idea. I'll try the polish over a dark base and see how it goes. Thanks chelle :)
Deleteaww boo!!! i hate it when that happens! so sorry! but it is pretty to look at on the bottle . lol
ReplyDeleteLooking at the bottle you can understand why I thought it was going to be pretty. :-/
DeleteOh that's disappointing! It looks so pretty in the bottle too.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried YSL nail polish actually, will definitely be skipping this one!
Yes, it's doubly disappointing when it's a designer polish fail! This polish is quite old - I don't know what the YSL formula is like with the new polishes.
DeleteAw:( Maybe layering it over a gold or another shimmery polish might help?
ReplyDeleteAnother good idea Larie! I'll keep experimenting with this polish to see what - if anything - works...
Deletethat sucks but I think it looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks, you're making feel a little better :)
