picture polish honey dew (unknown)

spring is here, and it's time for fresh shades. honey dew is a really old picture polish shade from 2009.

i am very happy i own honey dew, even though i am on the verge of having too many mint polishes (if that is even possible!)  itis such a vibrant pastel mint, on the verge of becoming neon. it is hard to photograph correctly, as it has all the qualities of impossible to capture shades: mint and pastel.

on top of being gorgeous, it has a great formula, especially for a pastel polish. definitely a perfect spring/summer shade!

picture polish sage (collaboration shade)

here comes yet another picture polish collaboration shade, and this time, it is the gorgeous sage.

sage was created back in 2018 with LakoDom, and how this shade came to life is a bit misterious: "riginally created to be something different however during the development process was born and to beautiful not to bring to life."

it is as close to a real deal sage as it could be: a light, muted green, almost like a sea foam, with holo flakes. it has a jelly-like consistency, but the colour really builds up nicely.

picture polish chillax (urban shades)

today i am showing a polish that i wear a lot in the summer: chillax from picture polish urban shades collection.

this shade is pure awesomeness! it is a bright, vivid minty blue with a tad more green tone than in my photos. it seems to be one of those shades that look differently on different skin tones, but this is how it looks on mine.

it is a perfect, milky creme with perfect application. it simply screams spring and sun!

kiko lattementa (core 389)

today i am showing my only kiko polish, lattementa (also known as mint milk) from their core collection.

lattementa is my go to polish these last few summers. i think i never gor as many compliments for a polish as for this one.

and it doesn't take much wondering why. it is simply a stunning mint polish, bright and captivating. formula is a bit thick, but self leveling. even if it wasn't good, it would be worth it. since i love it so much, i am going to overdo it with photos, so bear with me.

illamasqua mottle (i'mperfection)

when illamasqua  arrived to slovenia,  the i'mperfection collection was the first one available so i had to get one. my favourites were mottle and fragile, i finally decided on latter but it was sold out so i took the last mottle!

this collection was inspired by birds' eggs. i love this polish, it really holds a special place in my collection. the base is pastel, almost mint green creme, with black glitter in various shapes (round and hex) and sizes. i love this speckled effect, but also the depth of the base colour.

even though it's glittery polish, the formula was superb, no problems with applications, i really have nothing to complain about, so on to the pictures!

illamasqua nomad (human fundamentalism)

it is about time i showed illamasqua's nomad from their 2012. human fundamentalism collection.

llamasqua is known for their bold collections and advertisement. unfortunately, they became available to me as i was leaving my previous country, so i didn't really get the chance to explore them too much. nevertheless, nomad was my first choice since it really was an unique shade in my collection.

to me, this polish is completely illogical. the shade is a tad too green to be really mint. they describe it as "bright jade" and i have to agree. it is a creme, but somehow pastel and glossy at the same. i'm sure there are dupes (picture polish jade looks similar enough to me), but i'm kind of hooked on this one. also, it is waaay more vivid than in the promo picture.
