NARS Zulu is back out now

I actually did a little squeal in SpaceNK yesterday lunchtime when I saw NARS Zulu on display. This  polish was discontinued in 2007, and is much discussed and lusted after by many nail polish beauty boards and bloggers. It's a deep blackened green with no shimmer, and NARS has just relaunched it with a few other 'vintage' (discontinued) shades as a limited edition collection.

It's a jelly formula, and incredibly glossy; these pictures are without a top coat. I did find it needed three coats though; two coats were still very streaky.

Picture in sunlight below, which shows the jelly finish well. The colour is slightly more green than OPI Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow, and the finish of the NARS is also glossier.

This was £13, which is expensive for nail polish but not as bad as Chanel's recent £19 for Les Khakis.

  1. I think I have been in a box, I never knew about this and am instantly in lust, it may just tip me over the edge to go to one of the SpaceNK events next Wed, although £10 for 15% off £13 doesn't really seem worth it! Thanks for the pics and post Jan x

  2. The finish looks lovely on this, so glossy. I saw this in store and it reminds me of a Ruby & Millie polish that I had a while back although not sure if they still do it.

  6. I like it! I'm not really one for the greens but with the blackened edge to it, it really appeals.

  7. I am not trying to sound mean or anything I like the polish but it reminds me of Wakame (seaweed) salad which I eat a lot of. LOL
