Le Métier de Beauté Merry Metallics

November 12, 2011

Le Métier de Beauté has released two beautiful nail sets exclusive to Neiman Marcus this holiday. Each set is priced at $32 and contains four beautiful metallic nail polishes with a stunning leaf ornament. You can see Café Makeup for the press release details and Karla Sugar for swatches of both sets. I died for Merry Metallics and did not hesitate to buy an extra set as a gift. Each come in the signature mini Le Métier nail polish packaging, the colors:
  • Plum Puddin’ – a rich light plum spun with sheer silver and micro-glitter sparkles
  • Red-E and Waiting – a sheer red with metallic gold undertones
  • Tarnished Silver – a moonlit highly metallic platinum
  • Lamé Entertain You – a foiled shimmering copper with silver undertones

Red-E and Waiting is a beautiful rich red with a gold shimmer infused throughout. On the nail it applies beautifully and smoothly with just one coat although I did not really see any gold shimmer on the nail once applied. I adore this color. One simply cannot have enough reds.

Tarnished Silver is a highly metallic frosted platinum with blueish tones. It’s very similar to OPI Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous but more blue. I find it very festive and gorgeous for holiday. Even though the shimmer factor is high, it’s still office appropriate.

Lamé Entertain You is a beautiful complex coppery pink silver frost. It’s almost foiled-like when you apply it. I adore this one. I put it on as a full manicure and it lasted all week without any chips or tip wear. This color screams “holiday” to me. I want an eyeshadow this color.

Plum Puddin’ is the most fun color in the set but least office-appropriate (in my mind). Still for a glittering purple it’s more wearable than most other frosted purples. I’m not a glitter fan at all but the tiny micro-sparkles in this shade add a kick to make this fun to wear. I found the finish on the sheer side even with 2 coats.

One last photo since I know everyone likes comparisons. I found each shade in Merry Metallics unique but here are a few other shades to help you gauge the color based on varying computer screens and my skintone.

Bottom line: Totally gorgeous, festive, and fun. The Le Métier de Beauté StocKen Stuffer Nail Sets are $32 each and currently exclusive to Neiman Marcus. I found mine in-store. The set is worth every penny. Happy Friday to everyone!

    Oh jeez – Lame Entertain You and Red-E and Waiting are both soooo gorgeous. I so totally cannot afford to spend money right now though… cries. 🙁

    I'm not too keen on Plum Puddin', but the rest are simply drool-worthy.

    Sephora by OPI's Chestnuts About You is almost identical to Lame Entertain you =) I picked it up yesterday and just realized how similar they were when I saw your post. I was actually thinking of getting another LMdB set just for that color!

    I checked out this set at Neimans on Thursday and thought it looked great in person. I just passed on it for the time being because I felt that I had already spent my polish budget for the day :). One thing I wonder looking at your swatches is how similar Dior Merveille (which I *did* buy on Thursday!) is to Red-E and Waiting? It won't really matter because I really want Plum Puddin' but I'm curious anyway.

    the bottles are tiny but the colors are amazing. I really love plum puddin and tarnished silver.

    the bottles are cute as well.

    Oh wow I think I need to jump feet first into Le Métier nail polishes, this collection is so gorgeous! Of course, I would love to know what that nude-y neutral colour is on your wheel under OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous…
