I've always found it unspeakably helpful when bloggers swatch and review products of the cosmetic persuasion, so I think I'll return the favor from here on out. Here is Sally Hansen's "Touch of Mink" in cool natural lighting, I would describe it as a fully opaque dark chocolate brown...quite a bit darker than in the bottle. It's witchy and glossy and looks particularly tar-like with a top coat. As always, Sally Hansen's salon line delivers great coverage because of the thick flat brush and a formula that isn't to runny or to thick (example: Hard-As-Wraps). I'm loving all the subtle nail colors cosmetic lines have been coming out with...something a little more risqué than mauve. I have three shades from this particular line (Evening Fog, Wet Clay, and Touch of Mink) that I hope to swatch soon.
"A vagabond, maybe, but one who is resigned to revolving on the same spot like my companions and brethren. It is true that departures sadden and exhilarate me, and whatever I pass through - new countries, skies pure or cloudy, seas under rains the color of a gray pearl - something of myself catches on it and clings so passionately that I feel as though I were leaving behind me a thousand little phantoms in my image, rocked on the waves, cradled in the leaves, scattered among the clouds. But does not a last little phantom, more like me than any of the others, remain sitting in my chimney corner, lost in a dream and as good as gold as it bends over a book which it forgets to open?"
