45 Days Of Untrieds Day 11: Maybelline Color Show: Mystic Green.

Good morning and happy Sunday! Whose mad that Monday is around the corner?

Today is day 11 of the 45 days of untried challenge, I admit I have been falling behind. I could throw out a million and one excuses but I don't like excuses. So we will just go on as planned, shall we?

Over the early summer Maybelline Color Show Released some new polishes which to me look to be permanent since I saw a wall display at my local Wal-Mart. The new collections are called the Polka Dots, and Holographic collections. I get really excited when I hear a drugstore brand is going to put out a possible holographic collection.

Unfortunately, as I stated on Twitter when I got these polishes, and did a quick swatch on Instagram, they are not holographic. Sad faces all around.

They are however nice polishes some that have a possible duo-chrome effect.

Mystic Green was one of the polishes that caught my eye. I don't normally gravitate to green just because its not one of my favorite colors, but I don't shun it because some green polishes are awesome!


This polish is fairly thin on the first coat. I haven't tried layering it over a dark polish but I think it might look cool. Three coats will get you this metallic green opacity. 



This polish does have a slight duo-chrome but it didn't pick up in the photos. How ever amongst the green polishes I own this is the first metallic one that i have. I wish it was more thick so I could stamp with it. 

Don't forget to check out Adrianna's and Shaylads untrieds! 

What do you think of companies labeling a polish something that it isn't?

Sinful Colors: Mint Apple.

Hi everyone! How is your Tuesday going?  For once my Tuesday, actually the whole beginning of the week is going fabulous! I think this is the start of the change I've been needing! Last night was the first night in two weeks I did not want to walk out of work! It was really nice, and then I came to find out that my supervisor actually decided to give me a Saturday off! I almost had a heart attack seeing it!

So today I bring you one of my favorite Sinful Colors Nail Polishes in Mint Apple. This polish was one of the first Sinful Colors that I purchased after they put in the Walgreen's about two - three years ago.

I describe Mint Apple as not  like Wet 'n' Wilds I Need A Refresh-mint but a darker mint green like the  gummy candies called spearmint leaves , and all the sugar on top of them represents the amazing silver shimmer that runs through this polish.



The first coat of this polish is a tad on the streaky side and if your not careful the more brush stroke you make the more bald spots you can make. Three coats does smooth it out and make it opaque with lots of shimmer.



Do any of you own Mint Apple?

Thanks for stopping by, hope you all enjoyed this short little post, but I'm going to go an enjoy the 70 degree weather outside!

Bye!
