Avon Absinthe

One of the ladies at work started selling Avon recently so I thought it would be a great time to finally try out one of their polishes. When I saw the picture of Absinthe I knew I just had to have it. It looked like such a beautiful sparkly green packed full of glitter and I just couldn't wait to get it on my fingers. Here is what I was expecting based on the picture from the Avon book.

This is definitely not the color I got. It is not a bad color it was just horribly misrepresented. What I actually got was a pea green color with a shimmer so subtle it is nonexistent unless you are outside in the sun and squint a lot. It is a nice color for what it is though I am not saying it is a bad polish it is just not what I was hoping for based on the picture.

Application was pretty good. It was a little on the sheer side and needed three coats for full coverage. It also seemed to be a little bit thick but it was still easy to work with and had no problems with dragging. I have worn this for about five days now and have had just some normal tip wear and ended up getting a few chips last night. It is a nice color but when they say sequins and have that kind of picture I am really expecting some glitter and wow!
