Since the beginning of this blog I have complained about not finding a mint green that works on me. I really was never into the mint green fad for the reason I stated above. It's a rarity for a pastel creme to work on my skintone. They usually make my hands look really red or really sickly. However, I never thought about trying maybe a darker mint green with some shimmer, until I came across Sinful Colors Mint Apple. This is a color I've seen multiple times in stores but bypassed every time assuming like other mints it wouldn't work on me. I finally got to try it thanks to a nice swap with
PinkNailBlog!
Sinful Colors Mint Apple
Mint Apple is a medium mint/sea foam green with silver/champagne color shimmer mixed in. I LOVE this shade. This is coming from someone who despised mint colors, so this is saying a lot. I think that the darker color and the addition of shimmer makes it more appealing and work better with my light skintone. The only issue I had with the polish is the formula was a bit thick and goopy. I was able to thin it out nicely with nail polish thinner.
I never thought I'd ever be able to wear a color like this, so I'm thrilled to now have this in my collection. I am proudly wearing this shade for the next few days. I also never realized that mint green is a nice complementary shade to other colors. This shade would look nice with an array of different outfits.
What is your favorite mint green?
Happy Saturday!
That looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I love all Mint Greens! But I know that they are hard to wear for some people... Lately I was impressed with Revlon Top Speed in Jaded (very surprising!)
ReplyDeleteThe only mint I have is from Icing and I haven't tried it yet. This is really pretty! I picked up the bottle in Walgreen's last night but didn't purchase. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! This is also my favorite mint green.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty color. I'm surprised you had a thick formula from SF - I usually have really thin stuff from them. Anyway, I only have one mint green and I got that solely for a PHD challenge. IOW: I don't do mint green.
ReplyDeleteooh glad you liked it! man I'm so weird.. it really does make me a little sea sick! it's like i'm looking at an ocean.. and it's all wobbly.. i have no idea what the heck is wrong with me..
ReplyDeleteyeah i don't know why.. but my all SF glitters get a little thick in my room.. maybe I should keep those sf glitters in the fridge or something.
Pretty color! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Mint Apple. In fact, I need to pick up a spare for my stash.
ReplyDeleteThat colour looks good on you. Have you tried Orly Gumdrop? It might work for you, too.
