Fashion and beauty have always gone hand in hand. Now, those hands have the nail polish to match. Introducing the Thakoon for NARS Nail Collection, the brand’s first collaboration with a fashion designer in the nail category.Already frequent collaborators at New York Fashion Week, founder and creative director Francois Nars has partnered with Thakoon Panichgul to develop a limited edition, six-shade nail collection.
In conceptualizing the shade range, Thakoon was inspired by the vibrant colors found in Indian spice markets. The highly saturated, high-shine shades come in an opaque finish, perfect for spring. Formula is long-wearing, chip-resistant and toluene-, formaldehyde- and DBP-free.
Since his first collection in 2004, the Thailand-born, Nebraska-raised designer’s clothes have graced chic, modern women around the globe, including Jessica Alba, Marion Cotillard, Rachel Bilson, and First Lady Michelle Obama.

Anardana – Azalea pink
Ratin Jot – Orchid purple
Amchoor – Bright yellow
Kutki – Powder blue
Koliary - Cyan blue
Lal Mirchi - Mandarin red (only available at NARS 413 Bleecker Street Boutique)
PRICE: $18 each

It's really fun to see colors like that in NARS bottles but really, there are so many similarities to colors already out by other brands. I'm a bit disappointed. :(
ReplyDeleteThose were my exact thoughts when I saw the picture. First I went OOH THESE ARE NEAT! NARS doesn't usually do these colors! But then after I looked at them all, I thought... Already own that one, that one, that one... haha XD
DeleteLOL Very true!
DeleteI have to agree. They are nice colours but we have seen then before.
ReplyDeleteAm I right in thinking that NARS nail polishes don't really compare in quality to others in a similar price range (Lippmann, RBL)? I love their makeup but always shy away from the polishes.
ReplyDeleteI might purchase a few colors I don't own already depending on the quality/opacity/price/dupes. As an Indian I am *loving* the names!
ReplyDeleteI want these for the names OMG. I agree with Kita, as an Indian, these names are hilarious and spot-on! If I was going to purchase one, it'd probably be one of the baby blues because I don't own one yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking Koliary :)
