5 pastel nail polishes
In keeping with the Easter as well as spring theme, I believed I’d showcase 5 pastel nail polishes from my stash:
Thumb to pinky: Essie Pink-a-Boo, Revlon Apricot Pastry, Illamasqua Milf, Mary Kay Blue Lotus, Essence A Lovely Secret.
L to R: Essie Pink-a-Boo, Revlon Apricot Pastry, Illamasqua Milf, Mary Kay Blue Lotus, Essence A charming Secret.
Essie Pink-a-Boo #793 which is referred to as “a sheer pink with glittery sparkle” on Essie’s site. I would additionally sophisticated to state that it’s a sheer milky pink with glittery blue and bright pink sparkle.
The shimmer is tough to capture, this is the very best angle to show it.
Revlon scented nail polish in Apricot Pastry – beyond the novelty aspect of the scent (which is only obvious when the polish is dried, but can be smelled even beneath a top coat) this variety of nail polishes are decent high quality (this is pre-Parfumerie version). Apricot Pastry a yellow toned peach shade that’s rather sheer however applies effortlessly, as well as smells like apricots.
Illamasqua Milf – oh Illamasqua’s sexually charged colour names provide Nars a run for their money. Wait til I do a lot more Untrieds, you’ll see what I mean. This shade is referred to as a “bright mint creme” which is most likely overselling it a bit – it’s not that bright. It’s a great crisp, clean mint shade.
Mary Kay Blue Lotus is a soft blue with a minor white opalescent sheen from the Zen in Bloom spring 2013 collection. This polish is surprisingly opaque in 1 coat, however, because of minor streakiness, I needed 2 coats to level it.
Essence “A charming Secret” – a lavender with fuchsia shimmer
Essence Colour To go in “A Lovely Secret” #86 is a lavender with purple as well as fuchsia shimmer shot with it. I feel such as this shade might have mutated with production runs since a lot of on the internet pictures as well as evaluations do not mention the fuchsia shimmer, even though it’s quite evident in the bottle (but not so much when applied).
The Illamasqua Milf as well as Mary Kay Blue Lotus are from my Untrieds pile, whereas the others I’ve used before. All are shown with 2 coats except for Essie Pink-a-Boo as well as Revlon Apricot Pastry, which needed 3 coats.
I ended up using Essie Pink-a-Boo as my Easter weekend manicure:
The bright pink shimmer is obvious on my thumb, while the blue shimmer shows up on my finger at the ideal photo. This polish is aptly named “Pink-a-Boo” with it shifting subtle shimmer!
Out of these 5 pastel shades, I would wear the pink, peach as well as lavender on my fingers whereas I would only wear the eco-friendly as well as blue on my toes.
Any pastel polishes that you’re enjoying ideal now?
