NARS Ratin Jot

Ever since I saw Scrangie's swatches of the Thakoon for NARS collection, I've been dreaming of Ratin Jot (a lovely orchid purple). I like the bright intensity of all the colours in the collection, but this seemed to be the most unique colour when considering the rest of my collection. Today I have the gorgeous Ratin Jot to share with you:






This was my first experience with NARS nail lacquer, and I couldn't be more thrilled; the formula is perfect, and what you see above was two easy coats of Ratin Jot.

I also couldn't resist doing another caviar accent nail using some matching microbeads I picked up at a craft store recently:


This is what the set of coloured microbeads looks like. I also previously purchased one in various metallic shades. This time around I simply dipped my still-wet nail into the little tube of beads and made sure it was thoroughly coated. I then covered the nail with a coat of Seche Vite topcoat.


What do you think of NARS Ratin Jot? Did you pick up any colours from the Thakoon for NARS collection?

  1. That is such a pretty color! I have never tried Nars polishes, do you think they are worth the price?

    1. I think that the NARS quality is pretty top-notch (it would have to be to match the price tag), but I would think of it as a once in awhile splurge, because they are so pricey. Because this was my first time trying NARS, I'm pretty happy I took the plunge. I definitely is a beautiful colour!

  5. This colour is simply so unique and eye-catching. The caviar accent with it is simply superb! You don't really have to spend a ton on the kits to achieve the same effect eh?

    1. Absolutely- the microbeads are pretty cheap and can be found at most any craft store. The set of 6 different colours cost me about $10, I think. Definitely worth it, when you compare it to the hefty price tag for the kit being sold elsewhere.

  6. LOL - I bought the exact same a few days ago - also my first NARS - so now I look even more forward to receiving it! The caviar beads match perfectly in color!

    1. They are about $20. Definitely on the steep side of the nail lacquer price point, although for a splurge I'm quite happy with it.
