Nail of the Day - Mint Green Nail Polish Obsession

Mint Green Nail Polish

 

Back in the day I was always a pink nail polish kind of girl, whether it was fuchsia, pastel, glitter, shimmer or neon, I wore it! As my love for nail polish has grown, so has my collection of colours, nowadays there is so much more choice and you can just about get away with any shade of colour or finish on your nails.

I started my mint green obsession a few years ago and it really snowballed from there, my first ever mint green polish was Essie Mint Candy Apple, but it actually took me a few years to pluck up the courage to wear such a daring shade. Fast forward to the present and I've become a serious magpie when it comes to anything mint green! Of course there is many variations of this colour, so I thought I'd share with you my ever growing collection of shades, in the hope it will help you out when knowing what type of mint shade to go for.
