Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer

Average member rating of 7.5
Average member rating
Rated a 7.5
"Lacquer" says it all. It delivers bold, bright color in one quick-drying coat, and stands up to its claims of being "so shiny it looks wet." Another plus? The chip factor is seriously low -- even without being protected by a top coat. The museum-glass-thick bottle is cute and practically shatter-proof. The only question mark is value: It seems like there's more packaging than product.

    Excellent but over-priced

    I have this nail polish in Frozen Fantasy from an Estee Lauder Gift With Purchase. It is about 5 years old and it still goes on brilliantly! It did not thicken one bit.

Seriously, what nail polish is worth $18? May 14, 2008, 10:44 am

    Great Staying Power

    by Goddess_Isis (21 reviews)
    This collection from Estee Lauder is a blessing. It has a rich selection of colors to choose from, and they last much longer than most other brands I have tried. They don't go on heavy, and can be used with only one coat (depending upon the color) when in a hurry. A real find for the folks out there (like me) who don't have...

    Stays on and looks great for a week.

    by LadyDi (3 reviews)
    I've used this product for years and it is the best nail polish I've ever used. Estee Lauder and Mary Kay-which MK no longer makes nail polish. Estee Lauder has moved the price up so high over the years, that I can't afford it any longer. I remember when it was $9 a bottle. They've gone out of control on the price-just ...

    Worth the money

    by irisheyes61095 (7 reviews)
    I've tried so many nail polishes that chip off and dont stay. This is the longest lasting. I have three small children and my nails really take a beating so I dont have the time to redo them on a daily basis. If you lead a busy life and dont want to reapply polish to the tips of your nails, this is the one for you. March 29, 2008, 12:41 pm

    Color and Shine Power

    by OtterKim (4 reviews)
    I love Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer. The bold color and lasting shine are top-notch. I've used it for some time, now and I'm continually impressed. Lots of folks notice my polish when I wear this brand, but not with others! Worth the extra few dollars over drug store brands! January 11, 2008, 10:12 am

    too pricey

    by NANAPIGG (7 reviews)
    It is a good nail polish and it goes on smoothly. But 18.00 is just too much to pay for this product. It is only as good as many of the less exspensive brands, it is not any better so the price is not justified. November 30, 2007, 2:47 pm

    Better than Chanel...

    by Illustrious83 (7 reviews)
    I love Estee Lauder's nail polish. It goes on shiny and stays on forever! It also doesn't seem to make my nails weak or cause them to peel...great product! November 25, 2007, 2:00 pm

    I like this but...

    by Tyler1986 (109 reviews)
    It isn't so much better than the 5-6 dollar range polishes, so not really worth the price. October 17, 2008, 11:42 am

  • Manufacturer's Product Description

  • A luxurious new brilliance at your fingertips.   Rich, glossy, quick-drying and long-wearing. Truly intense color is so shiny it looks wet--but don't be fooled.   Resists chipping, even in water. Won't fade, dull or streak, even in strong sunlight.   Specially designed brush shape makes application incredibly easy. Just three strokes of color--middle, left and right--and you're done.   Even the bottle is striking.
