Lust-Haves: NARS-issistic.

Every time I watch "The September Issue" (my view count has entered double digits, don't judge), I smile when Thakoon Panichgul comes onto the screen with his energy and adorable-ness. In the documentary, he is portrayed as an up-and-coming designer, who is completely respectful of the female form, but never dated in his designs. His Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection was described as "Bollywood Western" by Style.com, inspired by the patterns and rich colours the designer found during his trip to India. Thakoon has extended this inspiration into the beauty arena, teaming up with NARS to create a limited-edition nail collection for Summer 2012.

The Thakoon for NARS Nail Collection is so vibrant and fun: I want every shade! Mecca Cosmetica doesn't stock NARS nail polishes, so if you have an American friend (or a parcel forwarding service), they are available from May 1 for US$18 each in store and online.

EDIT 3 JULY 2012: These delicious (not literally) polishes are available at Mecca Cosmetica for AU $32 each! They're limited edition though, so go go go!

Lust!
