We all know that mint started popping up on everything last year, and this year continues to be a hugely popular color. This somewhat helps my cause, because everyone wants to do different shades of mint...so you end up with a few seafoam things thrown in the mix. I do love mint also, and have quite a few polishes and accessories in mint; but there is a definite distinction between the two colors. (This is coming from the child who, in kindergarten, lined up all of the shades of blue from her 64 count box of crayons on her desk before she could choose the one to use for coloring her picture. This led to a parent teacher conference I'm told, where they were requested to get me a smaller box of crayons. But I digress....)
Now, is it any wonder why I love polishes and all the shade variations?!
Here I have for you a representation of the color I love:
This is Love & Beauty from Forever 21, in Seafoam. If you have never tried any polishes from Forever 21 before, please do yourself a favor and get a few! This was the brand that I said in a previous post was highly under publicized. 1.) They're only $2.80 a polish! 2.) They have a fantastic formula 3.) Just look at all the colors and they constantly add new ones! They carry the polishes both online and in their stores. For these pictures I used 3 coats. The formula on this is pretty sheer but builds up very nicely and the shimmer gives it depth.
Look at that shimmer! |

This pretty polish was purchased by me and is my favorite!
I love this color. It reminds me of a green version of Butter London Lady Muck.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do love that you can see definite blue tones and green tones in it. To me, that's the definition of a good seafoam. :)
DeleteThat color is so beautiful- it's subtle, but still really interesting! :)

DeleteI never thought of that, but I know what you mean...it has a similar color to Thanks a Windmillion but a little more blue leaning and a very similar shimmer to I Have a Herring Problem. I love that OPI collection :)
