Guerlain 168 L’Heure Bleue La Laque Couleur.
Every time I seek out a new nail color to purchase, I’m somehow always swayed by the allure and seductive nature of plum/red shades. I feel like Michael Corleone in Godfather 3, “Just when I think [I’m done with darker shades], they seem to pull me back in.” These types of colors scream fall/winter and Guerlain 168 L’Hueure Bleue La Lacque Couleur ($25 USD/.33 fl. oz.) had me at first-sight. This latest temptation demonstrates, pretty shiny things can also be exceptional in quality and performance. Well…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 🙂

The Cons to Guerlain 168 L’Heure Bleue La Laque Couleur:
- Similar to Chanel polishes, the beautiful micro-shimmers do not show upon application.
- Color changes depending on lighting conditions.
- Gueralin has 11 colors in their polish line-up; IMHO not enough of a bold color selection.
