It is rather picture heavy today! It is sometimes necessary when a polish has many faces and is, overall fascinating. I was really curious to try out Missha nail polishes for a long time as I had only tried their bb cream and sunscreen before. Because I didn't know much about its containing toluene or not, I played it safe and chose to only order one of them to try and my choice naturally went to "HGR01" because of its obvious uniqueness. Missha does not contain toluene but after extended research and some hours of traduction I can say that some Missha nail polishes still contains DBP. Beware if you prefer not to use it. It is claimed to be cruelty free, as this was written on a Missha sunscreen I own.
Back to the polish. HGR01 is a medium to light shimmer (almost brush stroke-free frost) green going from an elusive gold reflect in low lights to a very strong bright (glowing and gorgeous) turquoise effect. It's ever changing in every light and doesn't ever know a dull moment. It's a very fascinating and unique polish and I don't think I've ever seen such a color. It really deserve my plenty of pictures.
The application was very easy: the formula is perfect, neither thin or thick and dries fast. The brush can come as a surprise as it is reminiscent of the Sally Hansen Salon formula ones: large, short, flat with a rounded tip. You love or you don't. Personally, it's not my favorite type of brush but I don't hate them at all. Once you get used to it, it's very easy to paint your nail without having to make a post manicure clean up (I didn't do any). I did 2 coats and that was enough for a perfect coverage. Overall, an excellent quality.
To my biggest surprise, this a scented polish. It took me a while to figure out where this rose smell was coming out (the concept of scented polish is so not familiar to me that I didn't figure out - the only scented polish I ever owned was a Yves Rocher one (coconut scented) when I was 10 or 11. Back to Missha, the rose smell is not overhelming but present enough to be disturbing (or pleasant if you like it). Actually, I prefer my nail polishes not to be scented but in fact, this faded out rather quickly. 24 hours and I was done with it without I even did anything. The polish lasted me 3 days without top coat and without a lot of care (housecleaning isn't the best nail care). Not bad!
