Today I have swatches of 3 Gina Trico polishes, left to right: Shimmery Mint, Lemon and Candy Mint.
They are shown without a top coat, the formula is easy to work with on all of them, the dry time was OK, not super quick, but also not slow. But having used 2 of these as a base color for nail art, that I wore many days, I have to say words that not come abundantly from me, that I am super impressed by the quality/wear...!!
Gina Tricot by the way is fashion, makeup and accessories - I have a pair of Gina Tricot glasses too.
This is 2 coats of Gina Tricot 130 Shimmery Mint - I love the subtle gold shimmer in it...
Gina Tricot 131 Lemon could no have had a more appropriate name, it is a perfect lemon color. This is 3 coats, but if you do not have ridges, two coats is enough.
Finally we have 2 coats of Gina Tricot 125 Candy Mint, and inspite of the name this is a bright, clear pastel blue, I love it!
Final thoughts: I was very, very pleasantly surprised by these fairly inexpensive polishes. I have so far used both Candy Mint and Shimmery Mint as the base for nail art - and for several days without chipping or tip wear at all, I am impressed...
Do you like them?
And do you own any Gina Tricot polishes?

Flowers on star dust and candy
Super
silly name – and not very pretty work either, actually I didn’t like it. I was
super busy in the days after, so I did kind of get used to it LOL
The base
color is the lovely Gina Trico Candy Mint, and I added a coat of Misslyn Star
Dust (very visible in person) before I painted the flowers with acrylic craft color and top coated with
Seche Vite.
I was by
the way very pleasantly surprised by the quality of Gina tricot, it didn’t chip
at all, and I’ll soon show you my 3 Gina Trico polishes as swatches…
Sikke et fjollet navn – og nail arten er heller ikke pæn,
jeg kunne faktisk slet ikke li den. Men jeg havde travlt i dagene efter, så jeg
gik med den i nogle dage, og vænnede mig da lidt til den ;)
Grundfarven er Gina Trico Candy Mint, og jeg lagde et lag
Misslyn Star Dust (meget synlig i virkeligheden) over den før jeg malede blomsterne med akrylfarve og
toplakken er Seche Vite.
Jeg var for resten super
overrasket over kvaliteten af Gina Tricot – den holder fantastisk godt på mig,
og jeg har snart swatches atf mine 3 Gina Tricot lakker…
