Fast & Fabulous- sounds like a movie right ? Something with racing cars, hot girls and guys with unbelievable bodies (like The Fast and the Furious). The stars of this movie however, are the Lakme Absolute Nail Polishes- with their tall and rectangular bodies , their cool steel surface and a liquidy inside!!!These namesless wonders (Lakme gave them numbers and not names) claim to set in 40 seconds flat, come with a unique flat bristles for smoother application and promise to make your nails bright and colorful!
Lakme Absolute Nail Polish Shade #17 is a soft, dusty rose pink. Very everyday pretty and wearable, it’s a tad brighter than what the picture shows up and one of my favourite shades from this collection! I would name this “Windsor Rose” . I don’t know why the windsor came in honestly. Just has a nice ring to it.
Lakme Absolute Shade #13 is a bright tangerine orange!!! I love this- perfect for summer! I would name this ‘Citrus’.
Lakme Absolute Nail Polis Shade 08 is somewhere between a forest green and an emerald green! This looks really pretty on lighter hands! I would name this “Jealousy”
\
Shade # 09 has this almost duo-chromatic feel to it. Its a magenta purple- which looks more purple in the bottle than on the nails. I would name this ‘Grape Garden” .
Lakme Absolute Shade 24 is a bright fire engine red. This is definitely one of my favourite red nail polishes ever ! I would name this ‘Fire Engine’.
Overall Thoughts on these polishes:
Coats to Opaque: Two, except for Shade 09 which still looks slightly sheer after 2 coats
Application: Extremely smooth, i love the width and height of the brush. Its miles better than the previous Lakme polishes in this sense. The flat bristles really do help to make application more even
Do they Dry in 40 secs : Yes . They dry in lesser than forty seconds actually
Longevity: Not great. They don’t really chip but you can see tip wear immediately the next day after application.
Price: Rs 175/-

PS: Iv been told that these do actualy have names which are written ons tickers on the side. My samples actually came without the names on the stickers…Hence the confusion

Hey Mehak.. after I got my hands on the Fast & fabulous range I realized that I was only wearing these.. so all my other paints went outside the window ! i have 3 of the above.. need to the 09 and 17. I also have a pink (similar to what kareena wore in auntijee song :p ) from this range.. dunno the number though.. but thats also very pretty.. my fav is the ‘citrus’ one though.. very bright, very summary.. very asmi ( am i sounding like i belong to the ASMI diamonds ad :p ) hehehe..

I totally loved these colors in the store!! but I NEVER buy the quick dry numbers from any brand…they usually dry up in the bottle !!
The orange and the red looks nice ^_^.

I like the quick drying ability of these..but I jus wish they’d have more variety in colours and finishes. I got the 09 and I seriously thought it was duo-chrome as it shows on the bottle.. But it is not

less than 40 seco0nds! I need those. it’s becasue I don;t like to sit through the time, I often totally avoid nail paints! The shade selection looks awesome. Don;t mind the wearing off because perhaps, I would be to finish up a bottle before it turns gooey

Hey
I liked all the colors except purple…Can you suggest me which color should I buy if I have to buy just one??
I would go for either the orange one or the dusty pink oen
Pretty pretty! Want the tangerine one now!!
I like the soft pink and the red! They do have names btw, check the label on the side (the one carrying the bar code). I think the red one is called Crimson Fire!

Oh they do? Why would they put the name in such a complicated place
I have never really liked Lakme Nailpolishes but the tangerine one is quite tempting. My fave nailpolish range has to from Inglot.
