Hello my lovelies! Sorry for the shortage of posts this week. I have an exam on Saturday and so little time to study for it. And on top of everything I have no inspiration to write cause my head is all over the place after all the studying. It's been quite sunny and lovely outside for the last few days and I thought I would show you a gorgeous springy shade. The name is also very appropriate and I could use it as a motto for this stressful week. Keep calm, paint on!

Minty greens are a must for spring and I do have quite a few in my collection. They all tend to be the same shade and we, as the polish addicts that we are, can only say "they're not the same, they're similar". But the truth is that most people would say they are pretty much the same. Well this spring, China Glaze has decided to finally bring out a unique minty polish. Keep Calm, Paint On from the Avant Garden collection is a shimmery mint. It's a lot lighter than the other minty shades in my collection and the tiny silver shimmer is very pretty, almost like a pearl finish. I also love the name cause this polish truly makes me think of peaceful things.

I was expecting a difficult formula from this one but it was definitely less scary than I thought. It has good pigmentation, which makes it opaque in 2 medium coats. I did do my coats slightly thicker than I usually do. Unfortunately it was streaky and also had a few bubbles, but Seche Vite took care of them and leveled everything out. I wouldn't call this a perfect formula, but for a light color like this it's not too bad. Don't know what those bubbles were doing there and I sure hope it won't happen the next time I wear it.

I'm in love with this shade! There's also another special minty shade from Catrice that I have to show you. And I have some nail art and lots of swatches for you, just need to edit the pictures. They will all be coming starting Saturday. Until then, have a great end of the week!
