TIOT: COS BAR



Hello, my lovelies! 

It’s Try It On Tuesday again! For those of you just joining us, TIOT is where we take out a polish we’ve had sitting around but haven’t used and try it on. Be sure to pop by Jilltastic Nail Design, who came up with TIOT, and check out all of the other bloggers participating!


Today I have for you COS BAR polish. That’s how it’s generally spelled, in all caps. That’s a bit annoying. This brand was at Target for all of two seconds (okay, two, maybe four weeks). It had a prominent display and a low price tag (I think this was about $2), so of course I picked up the orange! I think I have brown too. It disappeared from Target's shelves pretty quick though, so I guess it didn’t sell well.

Ah well, onto the orange-y goodness! This doesn’t have a name by the way, but it’s a nice juicy, subtly shimmery, fiery orange. The formula seemed a bit thin, but was fully opaque in two coats. In the sunlight, you can see the shimmer is rather golden. 

Overall, this was a nice polish. Shimmery and orange, nice formula, what’s not to like? Gonna have to dig out that brown now, too!

  1. It's a beautiful color, but since I don't shop at target I'd never heard of it before.

  3. I missed out on COS BAR - twenty seconds in stores was too short for me to make up my mind. But this orange is bee-you-ti-ful for sure!
