Birchbox by Color Club: Tweet Me

Birchbox by Color Club in Tweet Me

 

This arrived in my October Birchbox. Initially I was really excited to get a nail polish, and then I was like "...lime green? Really?" My preference veer towards subtle glitters or neutrals, and I don't wear a lot of crazy colors, but I thought I would give it a try.

 

Color: a bright lime green creme

 

Consistency: a little on the goopy-thick side, but nothing unmanageable. Two coats covered it, but I added a third just to keep it smooth. There's no visible brushstrokes, but it got a little clumpy on the nail.

 

Staying Power: Yikes! The ends were chipping by the end of the day. Like...majorly chipping. This picture was taken the day after I painted my nails, and you can already see how much it scraped off on the edges.

 

Color and Dupes: I already have a bright lime green in my collection- Did It On 'Em from the Nicki Minaj collection. I haven't compared them to see how they look, but the shade and quality seem pretty close.

 

Restock: Will I buy it again when I run out? Nope. Probably not.

 

Overall: This probably won't be on my usual rotation- it'll probably be used mostly as a pedicure color in the summertime. But a free polish is a free polish, right?
