Dearest ThisThatBeauty readers:

It has been five months and 7 days merely because my final installment of “ThisThatBeauty Nalis It”. Certain, I talked about NARS Purple Rain polish as element of the Spring Assortment rundown. And lately I dished colorful deets on the OPI Hong Kong Assortment just final month. But a lot time has handed merely because a wrote a fantastic outdated fashioned “ThisThatBeauty Nails It” lacquer evaluation. I assure to do much much better!

In an work to “do much much better“, I am bringing on guest blogger and lacquerholic, Aina Lee. A “lacquerholic” is not just what Aina is, it is also the title of her well-liked nail polish weblog. I am delighted to welcome Laquerholic to ThisThatBeauty. So with out additional adieu, correct correct right here is Lacquerholic’s evaluation of “Re-Refreshing Mint” from China Glaze Spring 2010 Assortment – Up Up and Away.

********************

The vibrant and pastel polishes of the Up Up and Away collection transport me back once more once more to these carefree summer time time days when I played in Central Park as a youngster.  The youthful hued collection also tends to make me believe of the traditional song by the 5th Dimension of the precise same title.  “Up, Up and Away in my spectacular balloon”, but I digress…

The shade “Re-Refreshing Mint” is just that….a refreshing minty green pastel that is a bit lighter than Essie’s Mint Candy Apple. For the image in this publish I utilized 3 coats of polish (no leading coat). The method is considerably off an oddity as it is thick, but considerably runny. In terms of application method, I found that the quicker I utilized each and every coat, the much much better the end outcome. Applying the polish at a snail’s tempo will outcome in unsightly streaks. I tried to maintain the coats thin and as neat as feasible. This was a bit of a challenge as I’ve by no means been one of these kids who could paint inside the lines!

As for the shade of the polish, I truly like it.  Mint green polish was by no means leading of my list…even as the craze swept a couple of months back once more once more with shades like DamoneRoberts 1968 and Chanel Jade. I have a tendency to favor darkish vampy polishes. I was not sure I would like “Re-Refreshing Mint” in opposition to my skin-tone, but was pleasantly shocked. I am truly glad that I gave in to the craze! If you want to go green, get “Refresh-Mint” at  attractiveness e-tailers like Sally Attractiveness Offer. Get it while it’s scorching!
