Revlon Minted

Hi guys! I haven't posted on here in over 3 months, but I came across a couple swatches that I haven't posted and decided to put them up here! I'm still constantly polishing my nails but my time for blogging has been limited. I hope you enjoy!

I finally decided to wear Revlon Minted, a cult favorite, and used 2 coats with topcoat:

I really like this polish! I have so many mint shades so I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this one, but I think it's awesome :) This photo is from a few months back, but my nails look relatively the same now 

I hope you enjoyed!

Misa Little Hands!

Hey guys! I've been away for quite a while, but I am back with a post! I'm going to try and get some swatching done before my summer ends and make scheduled posts on a semi-regular basis. I've had a lot going on in my personal life as well as some changes in regard to school. I'm not going to get into them, but I just want you guys to know I haven't forgotten about you! :)

Today I'm going to show you one of my favorite minty-blue polishes, which I had some photos of already on my computer!

Little Hands is one of my favorite minty-blue cremes, like I said. It looks great for both manis and pedis! The application is pretty good and only requires 2 coats for full opacity. 

What do you think of Little Hands?

OPI Gargantuan Green Grape

Good afternoon! Today I was in a pastel mood so I chose an untried in my stash: a birthday gift from Jennifer at Little J's Nail Corner. Jennifer generously gave me 2 polishes; OPI Gargantuan Green Grape being one of them!

Below I did 3 coats of Gargantuan Green Grape

Gargantuan Green Grape is a gorgeous, vibrant mint creme. It's a little brighter than traditional mints, which I like about it. The formula was okay; a little streaky and a 3-coater, but I liked it regardless! Thank you Jennifer!

What do you think of this shade?

Fishtail Manicure!

Hello! Today I was browsing blogs and I saw someone make a post about a nail tutorial they tried, which was originally from another blog. It is called a "fishtail" manicure, which I think is a cute name for it! It was my first try, so it didn't go the way I wanted to, but I thought I'd share anyways!

You can find the original tutorial with step-by-step instructions (with photos) here!

I used all Sally Hansen polishes for this nail art! I used Sally Hansen because the extreme wears have smaller brushes and I wanted to make it easier for myself :P I used Mint Sorbet, Celeb City and Lacey Lilac!

I like the idea of this manicure and hopefully I will do a better job the second time around! I like how I did pastel shades (& my boyfriend likes mint shades on my nails), but next time I think I'll do the darkest color as my base and use lighter colors for the striping.

I hope you guys enjoyed!
