Instead of liqueur, the color somehow made me think of cowgirl dresses and boots. Something I would expect paired with brown leather and detail. Just to show you what I'm talking about, I found a few examples...

Getting back to the manicure, I stamped two cowboy/girl themed images from the new Mash-37 plate. The stamps worked flawlessly, but I did smudge the horseshoe pattern when applying my top coat and didn't have time for a re-do. For the stamping polish I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Coco a-go-go. I think the manicure turned out pretty cute, despite the smudges...
Colorama Absinto is a pretty mint green with just the slightest green shimmer. The shimmer was kind of a surprise as I did not notice it at all in the bottle, but it did catch my eye as I was applying the polish. The formula and application were great. The brush was wonderful to work with. It is a bit sheer, so this is three coats with a top coat...

ReplyDeleteVery nice--love seeing the inspiration photos. I'm with you, absinthe is much more lime green, not minty.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites nail polishes, I am very happy you liked!
ReplyDeletelove this manicure.very inspiring.love reading your blog.
ReplyDeletevery nice manicure, I can see how you captured your inspiration perfectly! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I comment, but I could not stand ... absinthe of Colorama is a polish that I loved from the first time I saw him! the brand seems like a very good value for money and yet in my country is considered a cheap nail polish and low quality (here in Argentina if not OPI, Essie, Sally Hansen .... or imported, is not considered quality but I think differently, there are brands with excellent quality and low cost) ... I have read criticism calling it common and without grace! I think it's beautiful color and in fact I have many Colorama in my collection ... I really love the combination of colors you used and cowgirl boots are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much girls. I'm glad you like the manicure and seeing the inspiration. I think if I owned cowgirl boots, they would be this color... style might be a bit different though ;)
ReplyDelete@Fran, thank you for including one of your favorites in our swap! I love it :)
@Princesa, Thank you for commenting! I think a polish does not have to be expensive or brand name to be beautiful. I love Absinthe and had no idea that it was inexpensive or considered "low quality," until you just said it. In fact, I was rather impressed with the formula and loved the brush. I'm very happy to have this one in my collection and I would have lots more Colorama in my collection too if I could! :D
I'm always a fan of your inspiration manicures ;) I have to say that I really like the long and narrow stamp... I am eyeing that one ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the pairing!
Thank you Marta! I cannot wait to see what magic you create with it :)
