The Sparkly Side of Nars


For as much as I love Nars, I’m not quite sure that glitters are their strong suit. They’re beautiful, but definately not the polish to reach for if you’re looking for a quick mani. I also found that the glitter in all of these, fell to the bottom of the bottle so you have to make sure you shake up the bottle before using.

Arabian Nights is a purple jelly with mid sized silver glitter. Shown is 4 coats. Personally, I think that less than 4 coats makes it appear slightly anemic, colorwise.

I didn’t attempt Zizi solo. I think, layered over black, it adds great gold oomph. But by itself, it would be almost invisible except for the flash. Shown is 2 coats over black.

I really wanted Arabesque to be a full coverage glitter because it’s such a beautiful color. But even if I was being generous, I couldn’t say it was. Shown is 5 coats. I was determined to build that glitter up! I think that, like Zizi, it would be fantastic layered. But if you want full coverage, make sure you have patience and dry time. A lot of both.

    Arabian Nights and Arabesque are really pretty, despite the sheerness.
