I don’t know where you’re located, but I just have to say that today is the absolutely worst day here because of the weather. We are having some pretty strong Santa Ana winds, it’s in the mid-90’s and dry as hell. Basically this means that my allergies are in overdrive, and I have the most horrible tension headache. What a wonderful Saturday! The only good thing is that I didn’t have to work today, and I have been catching up on The Walking Dead now that new episodes are on Netflix. Other than that, I’m super irritated; isn’t this supposed to be Fall? Today I’m sharing another polish I got when Marc Jacobs’ make up line first came out. As you may recall, I previously reviewed Blue Velvet so today I have Marc Jacobs Secret Love.
I didn’t share a bottle shot with you in my previous review so here it is. I definitely think that this bottle is kinda weird looking. Fortunately, the cap comes off so you don’t have to worry about that huge cap when trying to polish your nails. I was told that the curve line is supposed to be a “smile” which I can see, but I still find the bottles very awkward.
Labeled as an “opaque eggplant purple,” Secret Love is a nice polish although not very unique. I am sure we all have dupes of this color in our collections. All I have to say is that I am a sucker for cremes and this really is a lovely creme. It’s so incredibly glossy and smooth!! The formula was nice but I did find it very easy to create bald spots so make sure that you give your first coat a few minutes to set before you apply the second.
So, uhm, yes I like this polish but don’t like the price tag.j I don’t see myself purchasing anymore polishes from this line unless they come out with new colors that are unique and warrant the $18 price. If you’re interested in checking out the Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer line, you can head on over to your local Sephora or sephora.com for details. I hope that you’re having a nice weekend, and I will talk to you soon!
P.S. I added a lot of new stuff to my blog sale so check it out!
For some weird, I want designer nail polish reason, I need a Marc Jacobs polish. I loved the last one you reviewed, the metallic blue one.

Same here girl. Im in the inland empire…. this weather sucks monkey balls
You know, surprisingly I don’t think I have a color like this in my arsenal… at least I don’t think I do. This is gorgeous though, but I definitely agree, $18 is a bit much to spend on something that is not incredibly unique.
I must confess I loved the color, but I’m not sure if i like it because it is marc jacobs’ or i like it cause i like the color a lot. #dudasexistenciales
The weather is highly unacceptable.
“Smile?” Ehh…I call b.s. Some PR person came up with that to explain the awkward bottles, lol.
So…I thought this was black *womp womp*. It looks nice on you, though.
