Y'all know how much I like Avon products. They come in so many beautiful colors, are good quality but inexpensive & the Nail Enamels are no exception. There're more than 20 different shades, in sequin, creme & shimmery finishes, to choose from, and they only cost Rs.159! Today I want to talk about one of my favorite nail polish shades ever. It's from Avon & it's called Absinthe.
Absinthe is a beautiful bright green shade with yellow undertones & a sequin finish that is perfect for spring. It's looks almost neon, but not quite. Overall, it's a very unique shade & despite being a sucker for green polishes, I've never seen nor own anything that looks like it. It's definitely one of the colors that I wear more often on my nails as I just can't get enough of it. It's a truly stunning & springy color!
The formula is lovely too. Its consistency applies easily & smoothly without streaking & having good color payoff, 2 coats are more than enough to get the same color as it looks in the bottle. Plus, it dries quite quickly too so you don't have to wait ages before you can start using your hands again.
As for the staying power, if you use a good top coat, you'll get at least 4 days of wear with this polish. After that, it starts to chip for me. Also, keep in mind that I'm very hard with my nails: I type a lot, I wash my hands a lot, do a little housework & generally can't keep them still. So I'd say that if you're gentler with your hands than I'm, Absinthe may last longer on you.
Now, the bad. Because Absinthe is so pigmented & bright, it could stain your nails if you don't use a good base coat underneath. As I mentioned above, I use this shade a lot with a base coat from L'Oreal underneath & it has never stained my nails. Still, I think that if you use it with the right base coat, you'll ♥ this shade as it's truly gorgeous & with a really lovely formula.
Weight: 8 ml
Price: Rs.159
Pros
1. Available in lots of colors in different finishes.
2. Good color payoff.
3. Good formula, not streaky.
4. Sequin finish.
5. Lasts a few days with a good top coat.
Cons
1. Can stain nails if you don't use a good base coat
2. Some may think it isn't long-lasting enough as it lasts 4 days with a top coat.
My Overall Rating
I give Avon Nailwear Pro+ Nail Enamel in Absinthe a 4/5. I'm in ♥ with it. A vibrant yellowish green with a sequin finish, it's one of the most beautiful colors I've ever seen. Quite pigmented, the formula applies like a dream & the polish lasts about 4 days with a top coat. However, you need to use a good base coat underneath this or it may stain your nails.
