Somewhere out there is a bottle of Lancôme’s Mini Le Vernis in Shade 102 looking for a new nail to call home. One of five nail lacquers in the new Lancôme The Golden Hat Foundation Holiday 2011 Collection, it’s a true red-lovers dream, with a creamy finish that matches L’Absolu Rouge Lipcolor in Caprice to a T.
One coat delivers rich, opaque coverage and Swarovski-like shine, and if that wasn’t enough, the brush is just the right width, with firm bristles that don’t splay, making the brush easy to control.
Mini Le Vernis in Shade 102
The catch? Chips after about a day or so, but only if I don’t wear it with a base and top coat.
PRICE: $15
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Lancôme stores and also online

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Hope you a great day today and a nice weekend. Did you happen to catch The Walking Dead? I’m really starting to like Daryl. That thing he did with the flower was very sweet. And Glenn, of course, is a cutie.

November 6th, 2011 at 9:28 pmI do not own a Lancome nail polish but I might have to change that for this shade. It’s to die!
Regarding your PS, I am so late to the bandwagon, I just watched the whole 1st season of Walking Dead this past weekend. I need to catch up on the 2nd season STAT because I am addicted. It is SUCH a good show. Personally, Rick grew on me so far 🙂

November 6th, 2011 at 10:38 pmBeautiful red! I’ve been curious to try Lancome polishes. I’d somehow missed in your previous post that there are 4 other colors in the collection. Wish we could see the rest on you!

November 7th, 2011 at 4:25 amSome colors are never out of fashion like the eternal red 🙂 It looks gorgeous. Btw, How do you do the nails so perfectly. Could you come up with a post please? I’m 24 and still can’t do it right 🙁

Karen says
November 7th, 2011 at 7:15 amHi gals,
Hmm, can you help me narrow down what the issue is? Is it a matter of keeping the polish around the nail tidy?

November 7th, 2011 at 6:38 amPretty, but there are so many classic reds that cost less.
Karen says
November 7th, 2011 at 7:13 amTrue, but this one’s so cute!
Happy Monday!
Kim says
November 7th, 2011 at 7:40 amThis is an awesome red! I usually like mine to be a bit more blue than orange, but this has a very classic feel. And one coat for that kind of coverage? Love it! 🙂
Karen says
November 7th, 2011 at 11:41 amGirlfriend, how was the big night out?
Kim says
November 7th, 2011 at 12:56 pmOh, it was so fun! We danced so much that my feet were still throbbing the next day! If you get a chance, you can see some pics of us on FB. My ghosty friend’s step mom took a ton and posted a couple (and tagged me so you can see them on my wall). There were about 350 people and it was a big drinking crowd, but everyone had a blast and had safe rides home. We already had people asking about our 50th! 🙂 We had a really great slide show with about 600 pics of us through the years that played on 2 big screens throughout the night. I can’t imagine how it could have been better. I love those girls – we’re so blessed to have each other!! 🙂

November 7th, 2011 at 8:25 amI really am liking reds finally, i.e. I think I’m feeling bolder about my fashion/polish choices, but I can’t get over OPI’s Muppet Christmas collection and Meep-Meep-Meep as my go-to for this holiday season! So shimmery beautiful!

November 7th, 2011 at 9:23 amOk, I am just echoing many other commenters. I don’t own any Lancome polish. May be this will be my first?

November 7th, 2011 at 11:40 amSometimes they do some GREAT colors. I hope you like this one.
Nivedita says
November 7th, 2011 at 11:03 amIt’s both how to have the coat without tidemarks and keeping it tidy around the nail
Karen says
November 7th, 2011 at 11:40 amAh, okay, got it. I’ll add it onto the list of to-do posts. 🙂
Nivedita says
November 7th, 2011 at 12:01 pmThank you. I’ll keep an eye 🙂

November 7th, 2011 at 4:04 pmWalking Dead is (one of) my guilty pleasures! Daryl is evolving- got to love a character that can surprise you once in a while. And yes, Glenn is a cutie.

November 7th, 2011 at 8:47 pmits a nice color for fall, it reminds me of thanksgiving
Nina says
November 8th, 2011 at 6:53 ami teared up when Daryl put the flower on the table. the beer bottle vase was very apropos!
Karen says
November 8th, 2011 at 7:50 amSo did I. He’s turned out to be a very interesting character. I’m afraid they’re building him up so that he’ll disappoint/shock the audience in some way, though. 🙁
