NYC – Hint of Mint
When the mint green nail polish trend first hit it really annoyed me. I think it’s because many of the shades I saw looked too garish. But after cautiously purchasing NYC’s Hint of Mint on sale, my dislike morphed into enjoyment. It’s soft and pretty, but much more interesting than your standard pink or coral pastel. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on this manicure!

This is how it looks indoors.
It happens to coordinate nicely with the dress I’m wearing today, which makes me happy.
Hint of Mint was good to go after two coats and a swipe of Seche Vite. I’ve been wearing it for 4 days and so far there’s no chipping or cracking. I wonder if it’ll live up to the 7 day wear that the bottle promises?

Jewelry, art, music… and makeup! For me, these are all natural ways of expressing myself. The face is a canvas waiting to be enhanced, just like a blank sheet of sterling silver or clay. Here you’ll find an archive of my makeup looks and tutorials. For about 2 years I did my best to never repeat the same makeup (!!), so as you can imagine there are quite a few! I’m happy to answer any questions about how I created a look, product recommendations, etc.
From time to time I have makeup sales, which will also be posted here.
