Urban Decay Naked Nail Polish Kit

This limited edition set is an homage to our favorite ‘Naked’ shadows, representing the lacquer form of certain infamous shades from the original Naked palette.

The shades from left to right are:

Naked

Toasted

Smog

Sidecar

Hustle

Creep

According its description on Sephora.com:

“This irresistible nail polish kit features six of this season’s most sought-after shades in Urban Decay’s signature NAKED style. Featuring an inspired range of glitters, metallics, creams, and shimmers, each gorgeous hue proves that once again, neutral is anything but boring.”

Even though this product is advertised as being sold online only at Sephora.com it has been spotted, at least in my local Sephora store as well as on Urban Decay’s site.

Although this would have made a nice stocking stuffer for the holiday season, I’m not entirely sure it was released early enough for the maximum number of consumers to get a hold of it.

I personally, would have appreciated something like this more if there was a full-sized option, otherwise this kind of thing just becomes a novelty.

Reviews suggest that, although a cute concept, the formula itself is reminiscent of a  ‘drugstore polish’, which implies a lack of quality that is associated with cheapness. That being said drugstore polishes, like drugstore makeup, have come a very long way in the past 10 years and have more durable formulas than they used to. That being said, there might be many similar drugstore shades out there with better formulas than you would find in this kit.

Additionally the kit retails for around $26.00, which I consider to be steep for a novelty item, especially considering that the shades aren’t so different that you would need to have all of them. Smog and Toasted, for example, though quite different in the original Naked palette, are virtually indistinguishable in this kit.

This coupled with the fact that you might only get a few uses out of each mini bottle make it hardly worth purchasing. At least that’s the way I see it. 

Don't just wear makeup, 

Rock it.
