Wet n' Wild-I Need a Refresh-Mint

This is one of Wet'n'Wild's polishes from the Megalast collection. I haven't been able to find these anywhere near where I live until this past week when they showed up in my local Walgreens. I was really excited, too, because they were on sale buy 2 get 1 free. So, naturally, I picked up three. The colors I got are On a Trip, Candy-licious and I Need a Refresh-Mint. Today I have the last one for you guys :)


This color is almost and exact dupe for For Audrey from China Glaze.  For Audrey is the slightest bit more green, but if you have FA, I would skip on this one (or vice versa).  I have no complaints about the formula, but the brush...the brush is...giant.  On the cap it says it has a "manicurve pro brush" (perhaps trying their hand at the Pro Wide?).  It's humongous.  I have pretty wide nail beds and the brush is almost too wide for them.  If you have more narrow nail beds, this brush will not work for you.  It took me quite a few tries to get used to the shape and size of the brush.  Also, it barely fits in the neck of the bottle, so going back for more polish is kind of a pain.
Let me know what you think about the brushes in these particular polishes!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sally Hansen-Mint Sorbet

Mint Sorbet is a minty creme finish from the Xtreme Wear line.  I really like minty colors in the spring and summer, so I was excited to wear this one :)  The formula is good, thin and creamy and opaque in two coats.  These photos are sans topcoat:




You can see a bit of cuticle pull on the ring finger in the first photo, but it wasn't noticeable in person.  Also, it looks like it's a bit bubbly, but it's really my jacked up nail beds.  I need help!  My nails have started flaking and peeling up at random spots on the nail.  I have been putting tea tree oil on them before I paint them to try to remedy this, but it's not helping!  I need some suggestions as to how to fix this!

Love you all, dear readers :D

Sinful Colors-Mint Apple (and special announcement!)

Mint Apple is a minty green polish packed with silver shimmer.  I got this one after seeing a bunch of posts about it around 6 months ago, but was never very enthralled.  I tried it out again, though, and loved it!  I think the difference was using 3 coats.  The first time I tried it, I only used two coats which resulted in a pretty drab finish. Three coats, though, and bam!  Rich, saturated, minty, shimmery goodness!  These photos are three coats, no topcoat.



Shiny!  The color is gorgeous with three coats.  You can get by with two, but in my opinion...don't.  Definitely go with three!  For comparison's sake, this color is quite similar to For Audrey by China Glaze.  This one is a bit more green and has shimmer.
Also, sorry about my cuticles :/ I was in the middle of a swatch-a-thon and my poor fingers got all crazy dry.

And!  I'm excited to announce that I'll be having a giveaway when I reach 50 followers!  I am very grateful to everyone who reads/follows my blog and I want to give back to you!
