I remember sitting in my local nail salon waiting an hour to get my acrylics (ahhh!!) and seeing this in a magazine and thinking, "I NEED that color!!" I asked the lady doing my nails if she had it, which she did (a half used bottle) and I remember paying FULL price for it! I used it on my toes that whole fall/winter until my nails were all stained. LPAD was released in the Fall/Winter 2005 Chicago Collection. It is perfect!
The application is great, 2 coats and you're ready to go. No streaks!! I love this color for winter, it's edgy enough to look really chic without looking completely black and goth. The wear is great on this too, I can go a good 4-5 with no chips. Even without a TC, it's really shiny, reminds me of an oil spill. It's a plum-black. The cleanup is really easy as it doesn't "bleed" as much in cleanup like most blacks do. This is definitely a staple color for any nail polish lover and will always be my HG of vamps :D
What's your HG of colors??
This is a really slick looking polish! As silly as it may sound Wet N Wild Black Creme is one of my favorites, it's so pigmented and I love how smooth the formula is. I use it for all sorts of manis with glitter, flaky, or sheer/color shifting top coats or wear it on it's own, or with some bling.. I can go on.. it's the most versatile polish I own. I go through bottles of it, and if I wear it with a base coat it rarely chips. Idk how long it lasts exactly though, because I usually get bored and change polish every 2-3 days. Another HG is China Glaze Fairy Dust.. they use such a fine, shiny holo glitter that with one coat it's almost invisible unless you're directly in the sun. I love to put it over my favorite pinks to dress them up, especially on my toes ;)
ReplyDeleteOmg Black Creme is great!! I always have at least 2 bottles of it at any given time. Hmmmm...I don't own Fairy Dust, maybe I need to pick it up!
