Estée Lauder Heavy Petals Nail Lacquer Collection for Spring 2013

Estée Lauder has come out with a new, limited-edition Spring collection called New Pure Color Nail Lacquer Heavy Petals. This new nail collection by Estée Lauder and Creative Makeup Director, Tom Pecheux is a profusion of pastels inspired by the playful mood and kaleidoscope of color that emerges from the city of Paris as it blossoms to life in Spring. The collection is available for a limited time at Holt Renfrew and online at www.esteelauder.ca

For this collection, I thought of amazing bouquets from the flower markets, the pretty pastels of children’s carousels and the pops of color from macaroons,” says Tom Pecheux.

Bursting with energy and vibrancy, the Heavy Petals Collection is a whimsical collection that makes a modern statement for nails. It conveys both femininity and style. I had the opportunity to see just how gorgeous a few of these gems really were, and was not disappointed. The packaging, colours and quality were all stellar.

Estee Lauder Nail Lacquers – Heavy Petals Collection
Left: Absinthe / Right: Narcissist 
Narcissist – $20 US/ $25 CDN – 0.3 oz


Narcissist is a pale pink pastel. It is a gorgeous colour but applied a bit more streaky than Absinthe. Keeping each coat thin improved its overall application.

Absinthe – $20 US /$25 CDN – 0.3 oz

Absinthe is a bright somewhat muted yellowy-green. This shade is the most unique of the collection, and it applied beautifully in two coats.


Also available: Lilac Leather (#2), Coral Cult (#3) & Dilettante (#4)
