NARS Jungle Red Nail Polish

I have been given quite a few freebies from my Uncle in my time, and NARS has alway been a particular name brand product that I seem to receive from him time after time. When it comes to NARS, for me, it has always been a hit or miss product.

When I was given NARS Jungle Red Nail Polish though, I figured, 'hey it's nail polish, you really can't screw up nail polish!'
 
Appearance:
 
NARS Jungle Red Nail Polish comes in a square shaped glass bottle, with the official NARS logo scrawled in black print down the bottles side. You can clearly see the color through the glass. Duh! The lid top is a standard screw off lid, with a basic wand attached to the lid.

Color:
 
Jungle Red is not necessarily a red red that one would imagine when thinking of the color red. It to me has a more pink and purplish tone to it. Overall the color is gorgeous, but I don't think Jungle Red quite fits the nail polishes actual color. If anything I'd lean more towards calling it pink, than red.

Set Time:
 
The thing with nail polishes that have always annoyed me is the amount of time it takes the polish to dry. I have always been a fan of L'Oreal Jet Set nail polishes because these particular polishes dry in record times.

Well NARS Jungle Red Nail Polish also did a pretty decent job of impressing me when it comes to dry time. My nails were fully dry in less than 5 minutes. I was pretty impressed! The less time I have to worry about smudging my nails, the more time I have to get things done that I actually need to be doing. So NARS Jungle Red Nail Polish definitely gets 5 stars when it comes to drying time.

Pricing and Availability:
 
NARS Jungle Red Nail Polish can be found in Sephora stores, or online at Sephoras.com, or Saks Fifth Avenue. The price will set you back around $16.00 which in my opinion is way way too over priced for nail polish.

Overall:
 
Although I find NARS Jungle Red Nail Polish to be a great fast drying nail polish, I also find that the price is way to high for me to recommend it, especially seeing how you can pick up some Jet Set for $6.00 or less. Now had the price been set more fairly, I'd say yes, for sure go out and get some. Till then though, I'd have to recommend skipping.
