NOTD: Minty On a Budget

I'm really lazy when it comes to nails. I love nail polish and all, but honestly, I probably paint my nails two times a month. I don't do base coats or top coats either. I just slap on the color and call it good. Well, on my lunch break at work today I went to the Forever21 at the mall nearby. Whilst standing in line to buy some rings, I noticed their Love & Beauty line had a seafoam green nail polish in Mint ($3). Hey, at three dollars, it's a steal.

So I brought it back to work, where I painted my nails.


The quality is a LOT better than I expected. The color is not only pastel but it's ultra pigmented! No sheer streaky color for me. The color itself reminds me a lot of the color that Essie came out with during the holiday. Mint could be it's cousin from the wrong side of the tracks, you know. The cousin that takes way too many napkins from McDonalds.

Have you guys tried Forever21's nailpolishes? Which cheap brands do you like?

    Okay, so I have this nail polish too along with other colors of that brand and I was wondering if yours has the same scent as mine... I can't really put my finger on what the scent is but it smells so nasty I can't even put it on that often...

    I actually like this over the mint one they well at american apparel. I love their polishes actually..they make this and also a great grey one that I swear by, and both of these dry faster and apply smoother than the AA polishes and some other drug store brands..and the price!
