Do you love black nail polish?
Black with shy or unexpected glitter, shimmer, flecks, holo, duochrome... And what about just a "plain" black creme? Not the embarrassing "teenage goth phase with constantely chipped nail polish" type of black of course. The super glossy, perfectly painted on flawlessly shaped nails one (general image here, I'm not shamelessly talking about my nails, lol).
Well... I do love black polish, so today I have for you the new Yves Saint Laurent Duo Terriblement Noir Manicure Couture n°6 set for review and I am definitely excited about it.
The Duo Terriblement Noir consists of 2 black nail polishes, one shiny and one matte, created to reproduce the Tuxedo contrasts of powder texture and satin lapels. Let's see if they keep that promise.
Shiny Black is as black as black could possibly be. The first thing that surprised me after opening the bottle of polish was the angled brush. I can understand that the duo is meant to be used for contrasting french manis but that brush really got me worried... After the first stroke I didn't find it that bad, it worked pretty well actually : no uneven coverage or floaded cuticles. Formula was pretty good too, an easy 2 coater, neither thick nor thin and extremely glossy.
Matte Black is, in my humble opinion, a stunner! I must confess that I have never bought a matte black, apart from shimmery ones like Manglaze Matte is Murder. I meant a pure matte black, the one you could simply achieve by using a matte topcoat over a creme, it just seemed like a waste of money. Well this one proved my wrong. I couldn't say just how much I love it. I just used a rather thick coat over my ridge filing basecoat (Nail Tek Foundation II) and it blew me away with its texture... The only downside I could find is drying time, it did take a couple more minutes than Shinny Black but it was so worth the wait.
And just for fun, because I couldn't resist reproducing the lovely look from the Yves Saint Laurent promo pic, here's my quickly free handed version of the matte/glossy french :
Overall : Duo Terriblement Noir is a really nice set for the black lovers with an incredibly sexy and fierce matte that I will definitely be wearing more than once.
And this, dear readers, was my 200th post. Another milestone ♥
The Duo Terriblement Noir Manicure Couture n°6 set is already available online on YSLbeauty.com and in selected boutiques and retails for 30€ / $30 / £24.
