Mainstream Swatch and Review - Lakur LONDONTOWN USA


Press samples**

Hello lovely readers! Debuting on the blog today are the 9-free, vegan and cruelty-free Lakur Enhanced Colour polishes from LONDONTOWN.

The Lakur Enhanced Colour line offers crèmes and metallic in a variety of gorgeous shades as well as glitters. They also emphasizes that their formula is 9-free. What does this mean? From its website, it means that it does not contain any of the following toxic ingredients: formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DPB), camphor, lead, xylene, paraben, and ethyl tosylamide.
In addition to being a safe alternative, the formula also contains a blend of vitamins and minerals that promote nail health.

The formulas for the 6 crèmes I received were very consistent so I will summarize my findings here before I share my swatches. In a nutshell, the formula is great! Not thin, not thick, just nice! It only takes 2 easy coats for the polish to become opaque and self-level. I also used the Lakur Kur Protective Top Coat (PTC) that was sent to me.

Now that I have gone over some general and useful information, how about we go into the swatches?

Chelsea Porcelain
This polish is an off-white crème that is part of the original collection. It is the only one that was a bit streaky, but not bad at all for a white polish. Shown below are 2 coats plus the Kur PTC.

Glasgow Glamour
This polish features white and pale pink microglitter in a clear base. This polish is part of the glitter top coat collection. I chose to sponge it on for a close-o full coverage of effect. The glitter payoff is still good if you decide to apply by brushing onto the nail. Shown below is a sponged layer over Purple Reign adding plus the Kur PTC.

Kur Protective Top Coat
I also received the Kur Protective Top Coat which I put to the test in the best way I could think of: over a fresh nail stamp! For this nail art I used Lakur Guarded Jewel, Essie Penny Talk, the Turn-Turkey-Key stamping plate from Pet’la Plates, and a stamper from Fab Ur Nails. I'm happy to report that the top coat left a glossy shine with no smearing!

Overall, I love these polishes. The quality of the crèmes is great and the colors offer a nice array. The name choices are also great and go nicely with their branding.

The Lakur Enhanced Colour polishes retail for $16 and can be purchased at LONDONTOWN USA.

What do you think of these polishes? Do you own any or are planning to get some? I would love to read your thoughts!
