Review: Revlon Nail Enamel in Minted

I am in love with anything mint colored.  I have mint pants, mint shirts, mint heels, mint bed sheets -- you name it!  I guess you can say it's my favorite color!  :P  I was lucky enough to pick this color up at the CVS Beauty Clearance Sale for $1.49.  Can't beat that, right?

I've tried a few mint colored nail polishes and have just found them to be so so, and this one was no exception.

First, what do I like?
  • I am in love with the color.  It is the perfect shade of mint.
  • The formula actually lasted on my nails without chipping for awhile, contrary to some of my comments under "dislikes".
  • It's very opaque once you get enough coats on.
  • I like it better than other mint polishes I've tried (including Wet n Wild's I Need A Refresh-Mint and Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet).
Dislikes:
  • The formula bubbles a little, but it's not noticeable enough to annoy me.
  • The first layer is very, very streaky.  But after 2 (or eek 3!) the color is very opaque.
  • It takes a long time for the formula to dry, but once it dries it lasts very long!

Final Impression: 

  • Pigmentation: 3.5/5
  • Longevity: 4.5/5 
  • Formula: 3.5/5 
  • Packaging: 4.5/5 
Total: B-

  1. I love mints as well. :) I have this nail polish and I have almost used up the whole bottle. I agree the formula is a little fussy. It's the only mint nail polish I have. It does the job, but I'd like to find something better xx
