My first choice was from Rainbow Honey, which makes some really beautiful shades btw! I definitely want some of their Midnight Garden Collection, but that's not the point here because this is from a different collection called "The Summer of 199X." The color is called "Mint Flavor," which is a bright, bold mint with silver shimmer. It's much brighter than I expected, but it's pretty and great for Spring and Summer. The shimmer doesn't really show up on the nails, which made me happy because I didn't want a shimmering mint! It took me 3 coats to get it perfectly even, I think that's mainly because I'm terrible at painting my nails despite seeming to do it every few days! :) Anyway, it's a gorgeous polish, but not quite what I expected.
Next up, we have Zoya's Jacqueline. I was always curious about this color - I think it came out last Spring - and I debating buying it over and over again. Finally, during their last promotion, I finally left it in my shopping cart and I'm really glad I did! :) It's halfway between a cream and a really pale buttercup yellow. It's absolutely gorgeous and a nice take on a subtle nail shade. This also took me 3 coats due to my impatience between coats. :)
Now begins my Butter London phase. I have most of the shade from last years Spring Collection because it was soooo pretty, but I've never really worn any of them. I think I picked them up throughout the Fall and Winter, so they just never felt appropriate. Anyway, my first choice was Molly Coddled and it is stunning! Again, it's 3 coats, but the color is worth it! It's a beautiful pinkish tinged lilac and I absolutely adore it! My only complaint - and it's kind of a big one - is that it chipped pretty quickly. :( But that just gave me a chance to try another shade, so I'm not crying too hard!
Sticking to Butter London and their wondrous world of candy-colored pastels, I chose Fiver next. Same chipping problem. Boo! And another 3 coater…for me. It's a really nice shade, but there are plenty of mints around and Fiver is basically just a nice creamy pale mint shade. I really like this shade, but I'm not sure I'd race out to add it my collection if I didn't already have it.
Still sticking with Butter London, my next pick was Kerfuffle, but I never managed to get a picture. It also chipped quickly and took 3 coats with my painting skills. It's a really gorgeous pastel peach with a touch of pink. It was pretty much the same as the past two shades, just peachier. :)
Finally, since St. Patrick's Day was on the horizon, I grabbed a beautiful green from Illamasqua called Venous. It's slightly deeper and more teal than it appears in the photos, but it's a decent representation of the polish. This only took 2 coats, and I like it so much that once it chipped horribly…I've been out of commission most of the week so I really couldn't be bothered with nail polish!…I reapplied it! :) I'm a sucker for greens and teals and this is kind of between a kelly or emerald green and a greenish-teal (in person at least - greens are just a nightmare to photograph accurately). It's really gorgeous, although it is probably quite similar to a number of other basic greens that I have. But I still adore it! :)
And that's it! For me, it's actually not that many polishes. Sad, but true. :) Hope you enjoyed and let me know what colors you're loving for Spring because I am SO happy it's finally here…even though there's snow predicted for this coming week. C'mon already! :) Anyway, Spring is probably one of my favorite times of year and I love Spring colors! Hopefully I will get this up again next week, but I don't want to make any promises given my recent track record! :) Until next time, thanks for stopping by! :)
