Happy Thursday! I'm excited for this week to end, starting with having Friday off and then celebrating my birthday on Saturday. I'm at the point in my life where I don't like aging another year, but it's always nice to be showered with special attention. I'm hoping to get some much needed time alone to take care of some errands and some good ole shopping. Hooray!
I've been lax in swatching the remainder of my I Love Nail Polish from the Spring 2014 collection, and with the summer collection available for pre-order, I realized I'd better get to work! I was enthralled with Princeton when I first saw that it was a mint colored holo, a color that's been elusive to me within the holographic family. It's a true mint too, and doesn't lean too blue or green. Formula was a touch sticky, but possibly that's due to the fact that it was sitting in my drawer for a while. I used three thin coats here for full opacity, and topped with a layer of topcoat.

The holo effect on this isn't overwhelming, but it's a gentle rainbow that gives a flare of color whenever in the right lighting. Indoors, the mint shade is soothing to the eye and is flattering to my skintone. I don't think I could ever tire of mint, an ever popular color, possibly due to its versatility amongst all skintones. This fills the mint holo void in my collection nicely. Which mint holo do you have in your collection?
This is lovely. Yours is the nicest swatch I've seen of this polish, Thithi, and it looks just wonderful on you!
