I love mints.

I love mints. I love mints. I love mints.

I. Love. Mints.

And this comes is a super pretty rose bottle! It also has golden shimmer! :D
Absolutely gorgeous, it is a shame that it's pretty sheer though! I did two coats and as you can see from the above pictures you can see VNL (visible nail line -if you do not already know- yay you learnt something new!) I could probably try layering, but I wouldn't mind adding more layers for this pretty!

Past NOTD: Smitten With Mittens

Absolutely adore this shade, and the name!
I had no idea what happen to the pinky nail, but I had this manicure for a few days before I photographed it!

Swatch folder: OPI Espresso Your Style

I apologize for not posting in weeks, months.. however long it was. ;)

Today's swatch is OPI Espresso Your Style. I swatched a couple of polishes a few days ago when I was free at home as I was sick.. so I guess I will be posting more swatches in the next few days, along with maybe a couple of old NOTDs. :)

I then decided to play with my matte top coat since I haven't been using it for a long long long long while.

I would describe Espresso Your Style probably as a very dark auburn with bronze shimmer.
I was kind of disappointed as I was expecting the shimmer in Espresso to have more.... oomph, as I recall seeing it in a nail salon. Guess my brain amplified the color in my memory than what it really was... ahh IT IS still a pretty color anyway! :)
