Minty Goodness

I've had this swatch just laying around for a while so I might as well post it now right? The first time that I saw this polish was on Kandee's blog and I just had to have it! I fell in love with this color, mainly because I love blue polishes and because it was just so bright and happy looking on her. Though her skin tone is a lot darker than my own, I did find that it still looked nice. 

The color is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mint Sorbet and I did put a very sheer shimmer on the ring and thumb nail... I don't remember the name of that polish right now off hand, I believe it is Sally Hansen's Platinum (I know it was Sally Hansen Diamond Strength, but I will update this later with the name). 

Mint Sorbet - This polish is a creme minty green-ish blue polish that leans more towards green. It is a very bright, almost neon, pastel. I know, I wouldn't think pastel and neon go together, but this polish is just so bright that it is just somewhere in between the two, not quite either. I bought this polish on sale at Walgreens when they were having their buy 2 for $5 sale, so it was fairly inexpensive. 
I did like this polish better against Kandee's darker skin tone rather than my pale one. Maybe it's the green in it that isn't quite agreeing with me. I would like this color better if it were not so bright and more pastel.

First post!

I am fairly new to the blogging world, I did have another blog before this one, but it was only a nail swatching blog and I wanted to broaden my horizon.
So now this will be pretty much a personal blog that I will post anything that strikes my fancy, like what it going on in my life or beauty reviews or some of the stuff that I'll be completing in my art classes this semester. I'll also move my nail swatching to this blog.
I'd be happy if you stuck around and commented on what you would like to see in the future. I hope to buy a video capable camera soon so that I can start making some video reviews as well as posting here.
