Gina Tricot Monaco Blue - swatches and review

I know this polish is called Monaco BLUE but it looks green so I have decided to show it for Green Wednesday after all :)

This polish consists or small green and blue hex glitters and larger silver hex glitters in a sheer blue base. That is probably why it's called Monaco Blue ;)

This is three coats layered on top of Catrice Petropolitan which is petrol green and makes Monaco Blue look green. :)



GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Glitter.

Number of coats: Three.

Formula: Very good! Easy to control. Sheer, so probably best for layering.

Brush: Very good! No complaints at all.

Top Coat: No.

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 4+++/5

I liked this polish a lot more on the nails than in the bottle! It looks so luxurious and very beautiful! I like the combination of the glitters and the great formula too! The best part is that I got this polish on a sale for almost no money at all! :D

How do you like Monaco Blue?

  1. Hi doll, what a great glitter polish!!! I love that it leans more green/teal than blue, more unique I find. And it rwminds me of some beautiful Emily de Molly which is not always easy to get and on the pricey side - what a grear bargain for you!!! Have a wonderful day my dear friend, I hope you do well!!! Puss, puss xxx

  7. Mycket snyggt, gillar när glitter får sånt här djup och känns som jellymackor nästan som här. :)

  8. Jag bar Monaco Blue tidigare i somras utan nått annat lack under och då såg det mycket blåare ut. Har dock inte hunnit lägga upp bilderna än. Mitt arkiv svämmar över. LOL Jag tycker det blev himlans snyggt över petroleum i alla fall.
