Sally Hansen "Mint Sorbet" is another color I picked up from the drug store in a stressed out fury. What I was really going for is a light jade color, something similar to Chanel's jade from last year- but obviously one that is within my "i'm a grad student and work part time" budget.
At a cool $2, this shade should have been exactly what I was looking for. It's not. This actually isn't terrrribly far off... but I think having this kind of color on my nails, so opaque and flat- I'm just not digging it ya'll. Though a pastel is nice for spring, I'm not sure this is my kind of pastel.
A light green creme, this looks more like sea-foam rather than mint to me. It's application was super thick and hard to control, leaving any chance of a thin double coat in the dust. It was so bad after I applied it, i opted for an accent nail to distract me, using Sephora's "Only Gold for Me" Top Coat.
After sleeping on it, it's starting to grow on me a teeny bit. The jury's still out on whether this polish will have an encore, but for now I'll keep it and see if 'mint sorbet' can cut it until the end of finals.
