Reveiw & Swatch: Joe Fresh Nail Polish in Rainforest

People ask me if its difficult to fast from sunrise to sunset  without food and water - its not that bad, really , but the lack of caffeine is what gets me, not the lack of food or even water. 

I probably don't miss the water because I have a boring desk job pushing pencils and papers , but if your job involves physical activity then I feel for you! Sunrise is at 6 and Sunset at 8:40-ish - that's a LONG time without any hydration. 

If you are fasting for Ramadan - please drink lots of fluid after Iftar, replenish those electrolytes!
 
Now on with the review!

ABOUT THE PRODUCT FROM MANUFACTURER:  
"Coordinate your style with fabulous seasonal colours or achieve a timeless look with tasteful classics."


REVIEW:
I had been looking for a darker green polish when I chanced about this colour at my local Loblaws. I am not usually a huge fan of green but lately I have been wearing a lot of khakis and I thought this would be a great colour to wear.

When I applied it though, I was very disappointed with it - it goes on very unevenly. I had to apply 3 coats to get an non-streaky application. Not a good thing IMHO.
When the goopy mess dried though it had a nice glossy finish even without a top coat. 





The colour is hard to capture (esp. in the cloudy weather we are currently having in Toronto) - in real life there is a definite green tint to it , but in the picture I think it comes across as just an ordinary dark nail polish. But trust me, its not black lol


VERDICT:  2/5 - I do like the colour and the finished product, but the application was so messy and streaky I am not sure I'd like to purchase this particular colour again.
