NOTD: Mint Ombre Spring Nails

I have been struggling with the weather going back to freezing after having a week of summer-like weather, so I had to do a nail in memoriam of the beautiful weather. It was actually an on-the-fly nail since I had intended on picking up one or two polishes from the Essie Resort 2012 collection today, but good ol' Shoppers Drugmart never fails to let me down! So that will have to be for next weekend.

I have also been attempting to get some good pictures of my makeup but nothing is turning out. So I'll have to work on that once I'm done this semester and have a bit more time on my hands (about 1 month!).

As for today, I have a mint green ombre gradient manicure and even though you can't see it, butterfly thumbs!

Used:
Gosh Miss Minty (base)
Sally Hansen Insta Dri Mint Sprint

What's your favourite spring-colour fashion trend so far? I'm loving mints and corals <3

Gosh Miss Minty Swatch

So yesterday I got a mini haul because I just couldn't resist the spring colours out on the shelf! I got a beautiful minty green Gosh Miss Minty, a sky blue Essie Lapiz of Luxury, and a greige that I've been wanting Essie Chinchilly.

For today, I present you with the swatch of Gosh Miss Minty. It's absolutely wonderful and gorgeous and springy. It's very similar to Essie Turquoise and Caicos. This is the perfect colour for the "in" colours this spring.

The formula was thick and a bit streaky; it needed patience to get solid and some of my fingers could have used a third coat, but I decided to stick with two. It evens out pretty good by itself, which is good because it tended towards that ridged streaky side. It's definitely worth working for, the colour is amazing.

Are you excited for the spring collections?
