The Women (2008)

thewomen_junglered nars_junglered_nailpolishJungle Red is a sexy red nail polish custom-made by Tanya (Debi Mazar), basically the reason why she’s working at Saks. In the movie this is a fictional colour, as it was in the 1939 movie by George Cukor, but in 2008 NARS turned it into reality by launching a Jungle Red box set (lipstick, lip pencil and nail polish). This set was created as a homage to the Cukor film and in occasion of the remake’s release. Now all the three products are part of NARS permanent collection.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)

There are two Revlon red nail polishes on the small shelf in front of the mirror on Holly Golightly’s dressing table.

On the table there’s a giant flacon bouchon coeur by Guerlain; there’s no label on it, so it’s impossible to know what fragrance it contains.

The small bottle with white stopper is Desert Flower, a Shulton fragrance launched in 1947.

The black tall bottle is a René Lalique creation housing D’Orsay Mystère, a chypre fragrance launched in 1915.

On the right side of the table there are four Lucien Lelong fragrances. The small bottle is Balalaika, launched in 1939; the tall bottle behind it is Sirocco, launched in 1934; the bottle with the bow-shaped stopper is Jabot, launched in 1939; the bottle in the blue box is Opening Night, launched in 1935.
