My experience with Lakme True Wear Nail Polish – Metallics 240:-

Metallics 240 is a dark purple shade with multi-colored shimmers which gives it a lovely metallic finish. The shimmer particles aren’t gritty but blended nicely with the base just like any pearl finish nail color.

The fairly thin formula gives a smooth application and it wouldn’t pool around the edges. I was able to get an almost opaque coverage in single stroke with the natural nail color peeping out from here & there as it goes slightly streaky but almost even. There was predominance of purple shimmers than the base color which gave it a soft metallic touch. The color went fully opaque with the next coat and little streaks got smoothened giving an even coverage. I got the true purple shade exactly similar to the liquid in bottle in 2 coats.

As described above, it moves to a dark shimmery purple shade with 2nd coat but if you don’t want it to turn that dark for single but thick coats. The smooth and even application finishing with a glossy shine adds charm to this lovely shade which lasts 3-4 days on me without any major chipping.

The metallic range has metallic caps which are sturdy opposed to the plastic caps which normally cracks overtime. Unlike regular Lakme Nail Polishes which turn dark/gothic with multiple applications this is an exception as the color remains the same with multiple swipes. I have this for over 2 years but still it has the same consistency. Also, I loved the color for the fact that it made my hands looks fairer.

Recommendation:- Lakme True Wear Nail Polish – Metallics 240 is a beautiful metallic shade of purple with splash of silver, blue and purple shimmers. The fine shimmer particles, rich color payoff, smooth application, even coverage, glossy finish all of these at a pocket friendly price. #Metallics 240 makes a great pair with ethnic outfits.
