When the fashion designer entered the beauty scene last August, he made quite the splash. His metallic polishes provide visual texture with their shine but apply just as glossy as any other polish. The other lacquers can be matte or opaque and shiny depending on application.
Price: $18
Texture: I love this polish because it's so versatile. The first coat is matte and applies smoothly with little-to-no streaking, so you can wear it solo. I prefer a shiny mani, so I added a second coat and got a perfect glossy opaque finish. The brush is thick enough so I was able to hit the entire nail in two swipes — a great tool for those with unsteady hands.
Longevity: This lacquer is perfect for those who don't switch their color often. I'd personally rather have chip-free nails for a week than paint my nails every few days. After day six, I experienced my first flake off at the edge of the nail. The color, however, didn't fade at all.
