Mint Sprinkes

It is kind of obvious that I blog when I have the urge to. I don't keep a schedule and sometimes I want to post, but put it off. Then are the times I get sidetracked. I'm on summer break from University. So here I am once again trying to get myself back into blogging.

So back at the beginning of the month I got a hold of Orly Jealous, Much? It's from the Spring 2012 Cool Romance collection. A very pretty mint green. A little bit sheer and I needed four coats I believe. I think I could of made it at three coats, but I was having problems with coverage on one nail.

So this manicure kind of got built up. The next day I added on two coats of Milani Gems. So now it looks like I have little sprinkles on my nails.

Then the next day I got even more ambitious. I add a coat of Jealous, Much on top of this. It turned out awesome! Kind has a Mint Ice Cream with Sprinkles look. hehe!

So beautiful! Best idea I had lately.

Don't forget to help me out and vote on the poll to the left. :) I need some inspiration.

Essie - Mint Candy Apple

Today I'm going to show off Essie Mint Candy Apple. This shade came out in winter of 2009 and I passed it up then without much interest. When I saw it on clearance at ASOS I decided it was definitely something I wanted. I have a few mint polishes but this was unique as it leans blue instead of the typical pale green. This needed three coats. The application was awful. Such a streaky mess with the first two coats, but luckily the third coat smoothed everything out.

This is taken with flash to show the blue undertone.

I can't really compare this with my other mints since they are back in my room in Wisconsin. I do have swatches of the mani's I wore.

I know the mint nail polish trend is a few seasons ago, but I still like it. Have you caved to the mint polish trend?
