Tenoverten Houston Nail Polish "Houston" Review"

A little something about me, I always have nail polish on, both on my fingers and my toes. My nails feel much stronger with something on them. As a food server in a past life, one of my customers once complimented on how clean and nice my hands looked. It never occured to me, that I kept my nails clean and polished that someone would notice, but then I realized it was the first thing someone would see, other than the meal they ordered, and it was clear, that I wanted my nails to look really nice.

Here's a little more information about this new to the scene nailpolish. Tenoverten is a line that was innovated at the Nailsalon that shares the same name, located in NYC.
One of three NEW Spring shades from Tenoverten, 'Houston' is a beautiful, sheer beige. The other two shades are 'Spring' a pretty, pink salmon, and 'Prince' a lovely shade of pale lilac. Tenoverten's polishes are now available at Sephora.

"Houston" is a beautiful sheer beige, that complimented my skin tone. Honestly, I thought, it would look washed out with my skin tone, but to the contrary, my nails looked shiny, like I just had a fresh mani at an uptown salon. With Tenoverten's amazing formula, this was three easy, thin coats, plus a top coat! I also added french tips in my new favorite color, "Drop Dead Gorgeous" by Spa Ritual.


You can take a look at the most gorgeous mani from the Polish Insomniac using all 3 shades. Brillant!

Ingredients:Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Nitrocellulose, Sd Alcohol 40b (alcohol denat.), Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol/Trimellitic Anhydride, Copolymer, Trimenthyl Pentanyl, Diisobutyrate, Triphenyl Phosphate, Acrylates Copolymer, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Silica, Diacetone Alcohol, Citric Acid, Benzophenone-1 Polyethylene Terephthalate

This shade reminded me of a similar shade I came across, during a trip to Vegas, my daughters oooohhhed and awwwwed over this sheer nude nailpolish worn by one of the sweetest cashiers. She overlayed it with an over the rainbow hologram glitter. The polish in question is OPI- Glints of Glenda and the really fun name for the overlay of glitter, from the same collection, OPI's "OZ the Great and Powerful, is "When Monkey's Fly".

You can see both swatches over at Nailderella.
