Swatches & Review: Barry M Mint Green

(Just a reminder, I am still on vacation until the 18th.)

Today's polish is Barry M Mint Green, which I bought earlier this year when I was in England. I don't know why I haven't posted about it before, because I really love it!



Mint Green is, as the name suggests, a mint green creme. What sets this apart from all the other mint greens out there is that it's not a proper pastel. It doesn't have nearly as much white in it as, say, Essie Mint Candy Apple, so it doesn't look chalky at all and there's no streaking either.

I needed three coats for it to level out (there was a bit of cuticle dragging going on, but that could be prevented if you're not impatient like me and let your coats dry more). Application was easy and I love how squishy this looks.

This is definitely my favourite mint green polish out there. What's yours?

NOTD: Catrice Sold Out Forever - Swatches & Review

Hello lovelies!

The weather hasn't really allowed me to take pictures lately, so here's one that I took a while ago and forgot to post: Catrice Sold Out Forever.


(Whyyyy do these types of colours never photograph properly?!) Sold Out Forever is a minty, spring-y kind of pastel green creme with shimmer. The shimmer doesn't really show up here, but it's very visible in person. The colour is hard to describe since it's somewhere between the many mint greens and the few spring greens in my collection. I don't have anything quite like this. Especially with the shimmer. So pretty!

This needed three coats for opacity and was on the thin side, but application was smooth and easy. All in all, a very nice polish!

I'll be driving to Germany tomorrow to haul some products (p2 polishes, here I come!!!) so you may expect some goodies to be up soon. Here's to hoping the sun comes out and lets me take some pictures! *crosses fingers*
