Mint Creme Comparisons

Essie - Mint Candy Apple, China Glaze - Re-Fresh Mint, BB Couture - Laguna Lagoon, Barry M - Mint Green, Illamasqua - Milf

Hi junkies! This isn't a terribly original post, but it may be helpful. I did a comparison of China Glaze - Re-Fresh Mint from the new Up & Away collection against some of the other mints in my collection.

Across the top:
Essie - Mint Candy Apple
China Glaze - Re-Fresh Mint
BB Couture - Laguna Lagoon
Barry M - Mint Green (my MAC - Peppermint Patti dupe)
Thumb: Illamasqua - Milf

All swatches are three coats except for Milf at 2. Re-Fresh Mint is the cleanest and brightest and is closest to mint chocolate chip ice cream, which is a good standard to go by for mint, I think! Mint Candy Apple is very close to that but more blue. Laguna Lagoon is more yellow and more toned down (not as stark). Milf is very close to Laguna Lagoon but more dusty. Mint Green is not even really comparable to any of them, but is very beautiful.

Hope you like it!

I'm-Not-Really-Here Green SPAM

Hi everybody! I am on the road for work today so I have a fun, easy post: GREEN SPAM! Enjoy!

Amour - Ellis Green

Maybelline - Lime Aluminum

BB Couture - Laguna Lagoon

Sally Hansen - Make-a-Mint Frost

Barry M - Spring Green

Essence - All Access

Candy Swirls! You could eat them!

But don't! Because they are my nails!


I did this mani a couple weeks ago. I was inspired by a baseball game I went to. In the park there were these big candy looking lights and I thought, "I could do that to my nails!" So I did. I picked five colors and did a "skittle" mani with them. I used:

BB Couture - Little Deuce Coupe
Orly - Polo Princess
Misa - Speed Of Life
Barry M - Spring Green
Milani - Antique

I switched up the order for each hand. Then I used a white nail stiper: LA Colors Art Deco, and painted swirly designs starting from the middle and fanning them out and around. Then I added a matching rhinestone to the middle of each nail.

After I day I switched it up. I really liked the look of white-on-yellow so I did that to all of them:



Yummy!
