OPI, Ginger & Liz and Revlon – Damone Roberts 1968, Ivy League and Minted

by carinaeletoile

I’ve been on a mint kick. Well, I was on a mint kick, but it happened at night. No, not candy. I’m talking nail polish.

I had finally scored Revlon’s Minted. I got a cute sample size of Ginger & Liz’s Ivy League. I have OPI’s Damone Roberts 1968. I wanted to wear them all, but knew I really couldn’t. I decided to put them all together for a comparison because those 3 were my newest mint greens. I wasn’t thinking…and realized it was night time, but eh. Sometimes the flash really does make the color stand out as well as flatter it, but it also has a tendency to drown the color/make it prettier than what it is.

Not in this case of the Mints! It showcased everything accurately.

OPI’s Damone Roberts was a bit thick, but it dried quickly.

Ginger & Liz looks bad because I wasn’t wearing my glasses on those 2 fingers. OOPS. The formula dried quick as well.

Revlon’s color had some serious cuticle pull. I was annoyed. Formula was runny and took a while to dry.

BB Couture – Midnight Malibu

by carinaeletoile

I fell hard for this color on the site. Thought it was gorgeous! And it is. My only complaint is is that the glitter in it is super lumpy – you can see it in the sunlight shot. Formula dried fast but the lumpiness, even with a top coat, made me not like this formula that much.

Nubar – Citadel

by carinaeletoile

Let me state, for the record…Right here, right now…how much I love grey nail polish. I love it so much, yet it won’t (or can’t) love me back.

See below for the horrific evidence.

Nubar nailed it very well with the formula – opaque in two very thin coats. Fast drying, too.
