Bonita Salon- #Pink

  
     Welcome to my 200th post! Today I have another polish from Bonita Salon to share with you, #Pink. The color of this polish is... yep you guessed it, Pink!  Well, actually it's an iridescent pink with purple shimmer.

      I was pleasantly surprised to find that the formula for #Pink was better than my previous experience with this brand. You might remember the troubles I had with Miss Piggy a few weeks back.

      While the application wasn't exactly flawless, the brush in Bonita Salon polishes allows for complete control. #Pink is a little thin but still gave decent coverage. Just,  don't play around with the polish or you'll get some dragging. Guess who found that out the hard way.

     Full opacity can be with reached with 2 coats and #Pink dries to a semi-matte finish. Unfortunately, you lose 99% of the shimmer, once this polish dries. You do get this kind of cool rubbery effect, which is growing on me.

     As of right now, I think the formula's for Bonita polishes are like Essie's: Hit or miss. I've got a few more to try out before I know for sure. I'm glad #Pink isn't a huge PITA to work with cause I do like the color, and I think that rubbery finish could make for some interesting nail art. What do you think? Maybe some street punk inspired nails or just something totally 80's! Does it inspire a certain nail art look for you?

     Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Bonita Salon- Miss Piggy

   
     Today I'm sharing a polish from Bonita Salon called Miss Piggy. By the name alone you probably already know that this is a pink polish. And what a pink it is! Not quite a hot pink, but closer to that than plain pink this color is a pink lover's dream. I love it, I really do!

     Now for what I don't love. The formula. This applied like a streaky, splotchy mess. The polish was so thin it was like applying tinted water to my nails. Shown here is 3 troublesome coats plus top coat.  On the plus side, the brush was amazing and allowed me complete control. I was even able to avoid flooding my cuticles. Miss Piggy also dried really quickly to a semi-matte finish.


     I'm so sad over the formula because it really is a great color. I just don't think it's worth all the work to get it applied. Maybe it will work well for water marbling since it's so thin? You'd think it would spread nicely in the water. I'll have to give that a try and get back to you.

     Have you tried Bonita salon polishes before?  What was your experience? I'm not quite ready to give up on the brand completely, I've got a few more here to try out first. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
