Caronia: Mint Frost

I think this green has too much yellow in it to be minty.

I like that it's a two-coater, though.

And it doesn't leave as many noticeable streaks like its blue cousin.

Caronia: Blue Chill

Like its name implies, this polish is an icy frosted blue.

It goes opaque in two coats,

although I don't like the slight streaks it leaves after drying. Must be something wrong with the formula.

Caronia: Butterscotch

Allow me to begin with a cheesy pun...

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter(scotch)!

In the bottle it has a pale golden brown-orange color very close to the sugary treat, but it turns out more orange on nails:

Eh... it's not so butterscotch-y anymore, but it's still a very pretty three-coater.

Caronia: Orange Pop

This orange looks very vivid in the bottle,

but it doesn't "pop" very much when applied. (Application was awesome in one coat, though.)

Like most orange polishes I own, the color reminds me of candy.

Caronia: Pink Passion

I now stand corrected when I said Caronia had only ONE funky color, because here's another one!

It's a one-coater people! The color actually reminds me of Shimmer Pink without the shimmer.

I decided to play around with it and brought out good old YL702 for a bit of bling.

Now it's frosted AND sparkly. XD

Caronia: Desire

Wakey wakey, everyone! Today we have a LOUD Caronia color!

Desire makes me want to eat shiny caramel-coated candy apples, even if they are more brownish in real life.

This, by far, is the most pigmented Caronia polish I've ever swatched. One coater, baby!

Now please excuse me while I pay a visit to the local candy apple confectionery. :3

Caronia: Princess

If I were my own kind of princess, I would probably wear rainbow-colored manicures every day. If I were a regular, real-life princess, I guess probably would wear this pale, frosted peach.

The last member of the Workplace Wearable series is a sheer, frosted polish with just the slightest hint of shimmer. It's probably best worn over more opaque polishes, but it's alright as a standalone color too. Since it's sheer, however, it takes four coats to make it solid.

This concludes the Workplace Wearable series. I hope you didn't fall asleep from all the neutralness. XD

 Louder colors coming in the next posts!

Caronia: Joy

Oh Joy. No, really. /sarcasm.

The fourth Workplace Wearable just isn't doing it for me. Sure, it's nice, unobtrusive, and perfectly safe to wave around in front of your boss' face, but what about the dermatologists, baking ingredients, and soap operas?

Perhaps this is why I'm not so entertained by this ever-so-slightly-pink three-coater fleshtone: I can't really think of anything to relate it with. It's just so... safe. :|

Caronia: Touch of Ivory

What is with Caronia and "Touch of ____" names? Weird.

Third in the Workplace Wearable series, Touch of Ivory is the love child of Apricot Beige and an off-white polish who does not wish to be named.

Like its stepfather who refuses to acknowledge its existence, it starts off thick and streaky but smoothens out on the third coat.

Why am I channeling soap opera plots? Maybe I'm OD-ing on nail polish fumes? XD

Caronia: Apricot Beige

Apricots are rarely sold in the Philippines, but from what I know, they're more orange-y than beige. Google Image Search says so too (unless my monitor is colorblind :P).

The second Workplace Wearable isn't orangey, but it's a pretty skintone creme with orange-yellow undertones.

Application is veeeeery smooth on this one, as if you were spreading three coats of butter on your nails - caramel-colored butter, that is.

Apricot Beige and Touch of Beige look very similar in the bottle, but as you can see below, AB is much darker than ToB.

Caronia: Touch of Beige

Welcome to Nail Polish Ninja's second polish series! Workplace Wearables will feature... workplace wearables! These are all neutral colors perfect for the working environment, and they're all local polishes too.

To start off, we have Touch of Beige from Caronia, a lovely skintone creme that reminds me of concealer, foundation, and trips to the dermatologist. (Here we go again with my strange analogies! XD)

The polish goes on slightly thickly. It also goes on streakily on the first layer, but smoothens out on the third.

Sneak Peek: Workplace Wearables

Caronia: Dare

So far, this is the only Caronia color that DAREs to be funkier than the rest of its red-pink-neutral brothers and sisters. (Forgive the horrible humor - I couldn't resist! XD)

This was still pretty sheer at 2 coats, so I peg this one as a 3-coater.

The color reminds me of sea mysteries, like the city of Atlantis and Krakens. Blame my overactive imagination. :P
