RGB nail polish in Minty

P1080907

RGB is a US  3-Free nail polish brand. It started up in 2009 with a launch of ten core colours (the RGB Ten Collection), and has since expanded with new seasonal colours. Mise Beauty have just brought it to the Irish/UK market.

I was sent a couple to try, and applied Minty about 5 minutes after opening the box yesterday. It's a perfect minty green, neither too blue nor yellow, and not whitened either (I don't like pastel shades that look as though they've been applied over a base of tippex).

The colour is spot on, I love the cream formula and it gave full coverage in two coats. The brush is well shaped (absolutely no stray hairs, gives a clean line) but ideally I'd like the wand or handle a touch longer (it felt a little short compared to Butter London or Rescue Beauty Lounge).

There are some lovely colours in the line: I've added Dove (pale blue grey) and Haze (grey/mauve) to my birthday list.

  1. Sounds really good and it fulfills my "2 coats and no more" requirements

  2. Hi OC - yep, a polish needs to be absolutely exceptional for me to bother with one that needs more than 2 coats. Love the finish of this one too.

  3. Very nice, it is a perfect toned mint. I like the name RGB, it appeals to my colour geek side although the packaging is not very exciting.

    I like the look of quite a few of the shades - steel, sea, oxblood seem interesting

  5. Yay! I was just asking about these yesterday! I'm very pleased to read your review as they sound worth pursuing. I really like the look of Haze, Sea and Slate.
