Name: Lasting Color Nail Polish n.900
Brand: Pupa
Size: 5ml
Price: €5,99

From Pupa’s website:
Precious femininity also for your hands. A new, ultra-technological and ultra-performing formula for a shiny and intense colour in just one stroke. Long lasting. Dries quickly.

What I liked:
- beautiful color with a shiny finish
- good color payoff
- dries quickly
- lasts five days before chipping
- cute bottle
- the price

What I didn’t like:
- sells out fast (is this even a con?)

I’ve fallen in love with Pupa Baroque Couture Collection for fall so I just had to check it out as soon as it hit the stores. And wow, everything looks so much prettier in person! Being a sucker for green nail polishes, I couldn’t resist buying n.900, a beautiful light pastel green with grey undertones.

Just like all the other Pupa polishes, n.900 has a wonderful formula, not too thick nor too thin. It spreads easily without streaking nor creating those ugly-looking bubbles and being quite pigmented, you only need two coats for an opaque coverage with a very shiny finish. Not only it applies like a dream, but it dries in just a few minutes as well!

I was also impressed with how long it lasted on me. As you know, I wash my hands 50 times a day, type a lot and just can’t keep my hands still. As a result, if I don’t use a good top coat, nail polishes only last about 3 days, sometimes less on my nails. N.900 instead started chipping, and only minimally, on me on the 5th day without the help of a top coat.

If I have to be honest, there is nothing I dislike about this polish, but if I had to really find something, I would like the bottle to be bigger. This is a mini size nail polish but for the price I can’t complain especially since in most shops it is sold a bit cheaper than the recommended price of €5,99. The only real downside is that Pupa LE collections tend to sell out pretty fast, so if you’re interested in this nail polish, you’d better run to the shop now!

Available at: Pupa counters

Summary
I’ve always been a huge fan of Pupa nail polishes because of their lovely formula that spreads like a dream without streaking and good color payoff that lasts for days. And Pupa Lasting Color Nail Polish n.900 is no exception. This beautiful soft green has a shiny finish and dries easily. But being LE, it will sell out fast!

Rating: 4.5/5

Oooh, I love this color! Pastel + green + GRAY = win! I’m such a sucker for grayed-out colors these days, and this one is beautiful.

Principessa Grassa, it’s a beautiful shade, isn’t it? I’m sucker for this kind of shades too. I love greens and when they have a bit of grey they’re stunning.

Marguerite, that’s so frustrating. Pupa collections sell out too fast that often I can never find the items I’m most interested in as well. I was lucky with this collection as I happened to go to the shop when it was released so all the items were in stock, but when I went back a couple of days later the stand was almost empty!

Stavroula, I’ve always loved Pupa nail polishes and the ones in the fall collections are all stunning, this one in particular. And the staying power is great too. I’m sure you’ll love them. :)
