Officially described as a minty green, Bunny Foo-Foo is an aqua pastel, a white-based cyanic tint that you might just as easily call minty blue. In fact, the color reads as more blue or more green depending upon viewing circumstances and the skin tone of the wearer. It has a sunbleached quality and while not a neon does possess a bit of phosphorescent glow in low light and shade. This is not a soft, pliant pastel. It's bright, fresh and eminently summery, definitely a dues-paying member of the pool blue family, as Paola of Nail Polish Pursuit demonstrates in situ, here.
Application was quite agreeable. The consistency of Bunny Foo-Foo is fluid, light and creamy with a medium viscosity and a smooth, easy glide over the nail that self-levels beautifully for a white-based polish. Some sheerness and streaking on the first coat evens out nicely to evenly opaque coverage with the second. Cleanup is easy. Bunny Foo-Foo dries naturally in very good time to a gorgeous glossy finish.

This aqua shade pulls very blue on me, which I have a feeling will not be the case for everyone but I do think that it is fairly well-balanced between blue and green. Bunny Foo-Foo actually looks ok on my pinkage, so I'm happy with this polish even though I purchased it entirely for sentimental reasons. I must have delivered the little bunny foo-foo joke -- song, full pantomime and "hare today, goon tomorrow" punchline -- hundreds of times as a little kid.
Down came the good fairy and she said....
