Nars Lip Lacquer

Average member rating of 7.8
Average member rating
Rated a 8.0
"Luscious lips day or night" accurately describes what this super-shiny gloss delivers. Dark colors, when blotted, can double as a low- or no-shine stain. Rich, concentrated shades ranging from sparkly Galactica to vampish Bewitched are so beautiful, you may cry when you reach the bottom of the pot. But I did find the goopy, sticky consistency a little annoying -- especially when stuck to my fingers. (What a waste!)

    sticky, sticky

    by talk2uranalyst (124 reviews)
    I usually hate sticky lip gloss, but I make an exception for NARS Chelsea Girl. I LOVE this color, it is the perfect nude lip. I wish that they made this shade in a lipstick because I would prefer that, but I've looked and looked and can't quite find anything like it in a stick.

I LOVE this color, it is the perfect nude lip. I wish that they made this shade in a lipstick because I would prefer that, but I've looked and looked and can't quite find anything like it in a stick. I agree that it does stick to your finger when applied, but I guess it's a small price to pay for such a fantastic shade. I also wear it over NARS lipstick in Honolulu Honey and they work very well together for even longer staying-power. February 26, 2008, 7:58 pm

    Beautiful colors, not crazy about the packaging

    by MonicaSB (17 reviews)
    I love all NARS products, and this one is no exception.

The colors from these lip lacquers are gorgeous and long-lasting, and really my only gripe is one that other people have noted: I dislike lip balms that require the use of your finger or a lip brush to apply. They are just less convenient than lip products that come ready to apply in stick format or with an applicator included. Other than that, this product is fantastic. April 23, 2008, 2:08 pm

    One Of The Best Glosses...

    by TheMakeupGirl (8 reviews)
    The reason I like this is above all the consistency. I use a brush to apply (or my fingers), the shine is great and it's very long wearing. The stickiness is a bit of a downgrade but usually long lasting glosses are heavier/stickier so it's a trade off for me. January 9, 2008, 8:47 am

    Chelsea Girls

    by calicokitty (158 reviews)
    This is a terrific shade to wear over the Nars Belle du Jour lipstick - looks like a milky carmel shade pale enough to pair up with dark smoky eyes. The lacquers are highly pigmented and great to wear alone as well. It is very sticky though, which is great for lasting wear - but not good for windy days when your hair easi... November 15, 2007, 6:14 am This is a terrific shade to wear over the Nars Belle du Jour lipstick - looks like a milky carmel shade pale enough to pair up with dark smoky eyes. The lacquers are highly pigmented and great to wear alone as well. It is very sticky though, which is great for lasting wear - but not good for windy days when your hair easily flys in your face and gets stuck on your lips! November 15, 2007, 6:14 am

    don't buy this!

    by beegee (28 reviews)
    i was surprised at how much i don't like this product, given i love the nars lip gloss in the tube. i bought this because of the colour and it is gross. it tastes and feels horrible and the color doesn't go on at all how it looks in the jar. it doesn't last long either. March 31, 2008, 6:38 pm

    Great on the go

    by igorawrrr (7 reviews)
    Chelsea Girls is the PERFECT neutral lip. It's shiny and long lasting, but it you don't like your gloss sticky it's not your thing. I haven't loved the other color nearly as much as this one, my only problem is you don't get much product considering how much you pay. :) February 21, 2008, 5:43 pm

    long lasting

    by Jill (21 reviews)
    Butterfield 8 and Chelsea Girls were two shades I thought I would like but one was too dark and the other too light. I mixed the two and viola! the perfect color! And when I want to go a little darker I just add more of the Butterfield 8. January 3, 2008, 4:18 pm

    Beautiful Colors, Slightly Sticky

    by AmberGretchen (102 reviews)
    These come in a range of gorgeous colors, some with very subtle shimmer - I found a surprising number that looked good on my fair skin as well as a friend's darker skin. However, the gloss is a tiny bit sticky once its on. I think the stickiness at least adds to its staying power though, as this stays on better than most ...
