Nars Tokaido Express |
Nars Tokaido Express is just another of the 40 or so polishes I picked up on a recent trip back to NYC. Now this colour certainly IS available here at a Nars counter. But every time I check out their polish selection they are SOOO old and separated it honestly makes them all look completely unappealing. So when I walked into the Forrest Hills Sephora and saw this in the display, I KNEW it was going home with me. If you haven't noticed yet, I LOVE purple!!! You will notice that purples and grays make up half my stash!
Toakido Express is described as being a Black amethyst infused with gold. Honestly I don't see the gold. It looks to me to be a dark purple with light purple shimmer. AND I LOVE IT!!!!!! I looked all through my stash and this was the best I could come up with dupes wise.

As you can see, none are truely dupes. Amazing since I have 45-50 purples in my stash!!! I was quite impressed.

As you can see, they are all dark purples with specks of shimmer or flakes. But none are quite similar. I would go so far as to say that each one is unique enough to warrant having in your stash!!!
