Second time's a charm

I decided I needed to conquer this gorgeous mint green. This is actually probably closer to my third or fourth try and after waiting for each coat to dry completely, I got it to work pretty well imo, though far from perfect. I looked at different swatches and noticed that there are almost no perfect (ah!! no offense) applications of Refresh-mint, and that's because quite honestly, it's a serious pita to apply. But worth the effort for that minty shade, despite the next day chipping.

This is probably one of my most proud mani days, haha.

    Refresh-mint looks AMAZING on you! I love how you can pull off greens so well. Have you seen the minty green & kind of ugly army green in the new CG collection? I thought of you when I saw them :)

    I have not seen those! I still haven't tried any ugly greens--I'm kind of intimidated by them. I've gotten rid of all my "ugly" greens without trying them. It's a color I can't stop buying...
