Manicure Monday – Avon Jade

20130725-115340.jpg

I really like this minty green color from Avon, even though it’s called Jade. It’s a very smooth creme and it didn’t streak at all. I had to do this manicure twice to get it right. The first time layered Orly Bonder + polish three times and it was way too thick to dry, even with Silk Naturals All Set drying drops  but I needed the three coats of polish to get the opacity I wanted. So I took it off and did it again, this time with Orly Bonder on my bare nail, three coats of polish, and a coat of Orly Won’t Chip.

This manicure lasted five days before the tip wear turned into big flaking chips. I am going to have to practice wrapping the tip to see if I can get a week out of a mani.

What do you think of this green shade?

  1. Gorgeous!! Makes me want mint n chip ice cream!! It’s a great alternative to the standard pinks and oranges that we normally gravitate to for spring and summer- great alternative choice, chic and neutral – must have

I'd love to hear from you
