Bonita Gel-On (Part 1)

Bonita just came out with a gel polish!   Gel-on is like a no cure gel so no lamp is required.  Just brush on and go. They had six colors but, honestly, three of them looked too much like colors I already own a million of so I only picked up three.  I have absolutely no self control so I will probably end up buying the remaining ones when I go back to RiteAid.  It’s sad really.  

Bonita Gel-On My Avatar

My Avatar is a blue based purple.  Or a purple based blue.  Ugh, I can’t describe a color to save my life.  In my defense, this looks more purple in person.

Bonita Gel-On Lovers & Friends

Lovers & Friends is a pretty coral.  I mean, that’s it.  Love the formula (nothing wrong with a little VNL), color is nice.  The only thing that makes this color special to me is that it’s leaning bright-ish (in person).  Would I wear it again? Maybe, but that’s because I have 400+ unworn polishes to get through and I’m hoping that I won’t forget about Lovers & Friends, or any polish for that matter.  Wishful thinking.

 Bonita Gel-On The Best Mint

I change my polish every day (I have commitment issues) so I can’t attest to the wear time of these however I ended up loving The Best Mint so much I kept it on for two days.  Which is like… a frickin’ miracle.  After 24 hours, it had no chipping (also a miracle considering I use my nails as tools now.  A habit I have to break… again.)

I could see this polish lasting a week with minimal wear.  I got compliments on the train!  That’s how you know it’s a keeper, folks.  These all have a perfect formula and only require two coats.

The Best Mint is my favorite of the bunch.  Can we talk about how pretty it is?  It’s unique and bright and I feel loud wearing it.  I like being loud.   It doesn’t photograph accurately but it’s much more "neon" in real life.

Anyway, I’m going to take The Best Mint off of my nails now. *sad face*  I can’t wait for my swatching hand’s nails to grow back to a normal length.  We had a RIP nails situation last week and I’m still in mourning. 

Man, I am a Talkative Tina today.
