Burnished Rouge! Tom Ford Nail Lacquer

I'm a huge sucker for deep red anything.  So, once I saw this polish on saks.com, I didn't hesitate to order it.  But the satisfaction of my purchase was quickly short-lived; within a few days,  I received a cancellation email notifying me that this item had sold out. Months had passed, and I was able to put my loss behind me and move on with my life. That is, until one day as I was online shopping at selfridges.com, and found Burnished Rouge was available. With the assistance of the immaculate Kate, I was able to attain this radiant lovely lacquer.

 Indoors.

 Sunlight. 

A dazzling blackened-brown based, deep maroon-red, with ruby-red shimmers. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the formula of this lacquer. The application is smooth, streak-free, and opaque after two coats; although, I prefer the look of Burnished Rouge after a third coat. Another pleasant surprise was in the wear time of the polish; Burnished Rouge wore marvelously for six days, before chipping!

Tom Ford Nail Lacquers retail for $30, yes a steep price for a nail polish, but I'm more than satisfied with the results, and I will be purchasing more.

And for those who live in Japan, the Tom ford beauty Lip Colors (¥6,300) and Nail Lacquers(¥3,885) are exclusively available at Hankyu Umeda department store in Osaka.

Have you tried the Tom Ford Nail Lacquer's?

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.
