Hello!

I've been lost in admiration for the following polish for quite a long time before getting it. I blame my fellows Becky from A Polish Addict and Claudia from Holographic Hussy for making me want this polish that bad!

 

This polish is.... Estée Lauder Smashed! It's my very first Estée Lauder polish. I must admit I've never really stopped before Estée Lauder counter before and I was so wrong. From now on, I'll get more interested in the brand!

Estée Lauder recently launched quite a lot of new polishes created by Tom Pecheux: a collection called "Beyond Black", which contains 5 dark and shimmery polishes, called Caviar, Bête Noire, Blue Blood, Black Plum & Viper, and a second collection called "Metal Mania" with again 5 shades, which are Nouveau Riche, Explosif, Chaos, Smashed & Fiery Hot.

 

Let's go to the swatches of Smashed!

 

 

 

Final verdict: I am very impressed by this polish. It's just gorgeous. It looks very classy and sophisticated. It looks great for any occasion and with any outfit. Smashed has a dark plum base that is packed with lots of purple and blue shimmer. It's a really gorgeous polish for fall!
I used 2 easy coats for these swatches. The bottle is very impressive. The polish seems to be like imprisoned in a glass cube. The bottle was a bit difficult to hold because I'm not used to such bottles but it was not a problem for application. The brush is flat and a little less wide than OPI brushes. I wish it would be a tad wider but it's ok. Apart from that, I am excessively happy with this polish!
