End of last year (2015), Nordstrom Rack had some Michael Kors polishes. I picked one up.

Product Review: Michael Kors Nail Lacquer in Cabaret

Where to purchase: not too sure
Price: $18 for 0.3 fl oz/ 9 mL

Made in France

Thoughts: When I saw the polishes from Michael Kors, I knew I had to pick one up. Before I talk more about the polish, I look through the website and it looks like it was a limited collection. I'm not too sure where you can get these. You can try Nordstrom Rack like I did.

Here's a closer look at the bottle. Just like Butter London, it comes with another top.

Here's a closer look at the color and I have to say it's pretty true!

Here's a closer look at the brush. Compared to my favorite brush OPI, it's a lot thinner in width. I would say this is on the thin side. The length, on the other hand, is the same.

I applied OPI Nail Envy in Original, Formula X For Sephora Base Coat, 2 coats of Michael Kors in Cabaret, and then topped it off with CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, I found the packaging adorable. I love the gold top. It fits with the brand. On the other hand, I don't know why there's two tops. I feel like it's a waste of material. That's just my opinion. Secondly, the consistency is on the medium. It's not too thick that I have to polish quickly. It's not too thin that it's liquidity. I like the consistency which really helped paint the nails especially with the thin brush. It went on smoothly and there were no streaking and bubbles. Third, this is a gorgeous fall/winter color. I love it and fits with my obsession of maroon/wine colors this season. I also love that it barely have sparkles. It's not noticeable with the naked eyes, but it's noticeable when I remove the polish. With that said, it didn't make it hard to remove. Lastly, it lasted four days before I noticed slight chipping at the tips. It's not big chunks of chipping but you do notice the chips.

Pros:
* Gorgeous packaging.
* Medium consistency; not too thick and thin.
* Easy to apply.
* Smooth consistency.
* No streaking.
* No bubbles.
* Great fall/winter color.
* Hardly any sparkles.
* Easy to remove.
* Lasted 4 days before slight chipping.

Cons:
* Two tops.
* Thin brush.

Would repurchase: Yes.
