Okay there’s no somehow about it, the meaning behind my red nail polish is *drumroll* I like the colour. That’s a shocking revelation isn’t it?
Red is typically my go to colour for my nails mainly because it’s bright, classy and probably the easiest nail polish to apply. My Barry M Bright Red nail polish is basically finished now so I figured I would replace it with the beauty that is Estee Lauder Empowered.
This baby immediately jumped out at me from the murky screen of my laptop (I should really clean this thing) during a House of Fraser shopping spree and I instantly fell in love with it.
Empowered is a gorgeous bright red with a hint of orange to it. It’s quite possibly the best red nail polish I’ve ever owned colour wise and as far as I’m concerned this should not be a limited edition shade! It’s one of those colours that compliments any skin tone and can work for both day and night.
This nail polish comes with a large brush which makes application simple and easy. I find that one coat is usually enough for decent coverage but if I’ve got a spare 10 seconds I’ll apply 2 coats for full opacity.
Empowered dries very quickly and is fairly chip resistant for at least 2 days. Granted there is a bit of wear and tear at the tip of my nails but as I’m forever punching a keyboard at work that’s to be expected.
Annoyingly this is a limited edition shade so I hope to god I don’t run out of it for a long, long time. I should really stock up on this nail polish as I don’t think I’ll be straying away from it any time soon. It’s just one of those classic, versatile shades that will forever be timeless. Now if only I could learn to make myself classic, versatile and timeless…
