Cool Minty Mani

Under Vivian's influence, I've been doing extra stuff to my nails aside from a basic, solid-colored mani. Here I have on China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, topped with a coat of China Glaze Snow Globe, and finally a coat of OPI Matte Top Coat. Re-Fresh Mint is a true mint green and lies on the very light and green side of the spectrum (compared to Essie Mint Candy Apple, at least). The formula was okay, opaque but watery and hard to control. I got complete opacity in two coats but there was some unfortunate cuticle-flooding. Snow Globe is an iridescent glitter with large and small hexagonal pieces. It flashes green, orangey-gold, and blue. The formula was nice too since I didn't have to work too hard to spread the glitter around. Along with the matte top coat, Snow Globe makes this mani look very cool and icy in a way. I am obsessed with the matte top coat, by the way. I must get my own bottle!
