Contrary Polish Sprout
Sprout was released in March this year by Missouri-based indie polish maker Contrary Polish as part of the Spring It On collection, a series of five cool-toned, muted shades plus a delicate holo topper. This is the green of the collection, officially described as a greyed mint. On me, it's a light cool-toned milky grey-green, almost a pastel. It reminds me of verdigris, muted and soft with an organic feel.
Application was great! The consistency of Sprout is fluid, light and very creamy with a thin-to-medium viscosity and an even, silky smooth glide over the nail that's a pleasure to work with, unexpected for a formula with so much white in it. This particular polish has been sitting for many months, yet displayed no trace of separation or thickening. I am impressed! Self-leveling properties are very good as is pigmentation, delivering evenly opaque coverage in two coats. Cleanup is easy. Sprout dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful glossy finish.

I'm not sure my skin tone showcases this color very well, my natural ruddiness rather washes it out. If you'd like to see photos where it's looking a bit brighter, take a peek at Lexa's in her review of this collection on her blog, Glitterfingersss, here.

That's a nice polish, light but not sweet. Some of the photos make it look to me like jade with a gray tint to it. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Lara, it's very chic for a pastel. Beautiful luminous creamy color. If it were a tad bit brighter it would be more wearable for me.
