Hi guys. It's the start of another week in terrible cold weather in Jersey. We had snow on the weekend, so I was pretty much stuck at home doing a lot of nothing. It's almost March and I cannot believe the kind of weather we're still having to deal with. Mother nature you're drunk, go home and take the snow with you. Speaking of March, our next holiday is almost among us... St. Patrick's Day! Today I will be sharing a lovely duo inspired by the Irish holiday from MTL Creations. Let's take a look at the swatches.
The St. Patty's Duo by MTL Creations will be available for purchase on February 26th. As always, this will be available for purchase as a duo or individually if preferred. Mark your calendars!
Magically Mint
Magically Mint is a shimmering light mint green polish. I'm not normally a huge fan of shimmer finishes, but this one is subtle enough that it meshes well. That said, I wish the shade looked better against my skin-tone because it's truly beautiful. Soft and perfect for Spring too. Formula and consistency work really well, applying smoothly for the most part. It's a bit sheer in a single coat, so you'll need at least three coats for a fully opaque finish. If you have any ridges, then I definitely suggest using a ridge-filler base. Otherwise, it will be noticeable with how fragile each of the layers wear on your nails. A nice glossy topcoat is also a must for giving it that smooth finishing touch.
Floating Charms
Floating Charms is a clear glitter topper filled with large black and green hexes, as well as small micro glitters. Of course, I had to pair it with the other polish in the duo! Together they are meant to be, if I do say so myself. The formula will require you to fish for the larger black glitters specifically. To compensate, Cherise will be offering a discount on this polish price. Personally, I didn't have to fish as much as I thought I was going to. I did have the bottle upside down for an hour before swatching to help with the sinking glitters.
Overall I definitely enjoyed both of these beauties from the St. Patty's Duo by MTL Creations. As I mentioned before, I do feel personally that the color doesn't suit my olive skin as much as I would like. Regardless, I think Magically Mint is definitely my pick from the duo. It's about those pastels for the Spring! Remember guys, the St. Patty's Duo by MTL Creations will be available for purchase on February 26th.
So tell me guys, which one is your favorite? Are you into the light mint green?
I always get my nails done for the different holidays. I love your ideas. I might use one of them, too :)
ReplyDeleteOh this duo is really nice. Love your swatches!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun manicure for St. Paddy's Day! Not sure if we're celebrating or not this year - we'll be having some house guests over, so we'll see if they want to :)
ReplyDeletePretty swatches. Lately, I've really loved mint green.
ReplyDeleteYay for St Patty's polishes! These are cute :D
ReplyDeleteI don't own many mint greens but I always feel like I should. These go very well together! Floating Charms is amazing!
ReplyDeleteMagically Mint is my favorite as well. It's so soft and spring-like!
ReplyDeleteIf my daughter did not compete, she would have her mails painted for every holiday. That is a cool looking green!
ReplyDeleteI do like the mint green but I prefer it with Floating Charms on top! Great combination for St. Patrick's day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty combo.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! I will have to refer to this with upcoming St. Pattys day!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute for St. Patrick's Day...wow, I can't believe it's almost March!
ReplyDeleteYour nails look so cute and spunky for St Patty's day. I love the color all by itself for me but the girls would look cute with them spiced up. I've got to get some.
ReplyDeleteLove this. So pretty, great color for. ST Patty's for sure and love the spin on it! So great and festive!
ReplyDeleteThese are both really pretty! I would definitely wear these for St. Patty's Day!
ReplyDeleteMagically Mint is the perfect way to describe that color. Those are such cute St. Patrick's Day style nails!
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning duo! I have never heard of this brand, but it looks like they need to be on my radar!
ReplyDeleteMagically Mint is very pretty! <3
ReplyDeleteIncredible looking nails. Love the design and the color. Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMagically Mint is so pretty! I'm a big fan of mint in general, and for a shimmery polish it's impressive to not be streaky/ brushstrokey!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Those go perfectly together! :) Definitely reminds me of spring - which is very much welcomed seeing as we have about a foot and a half of snow in our yard! Haha!
ReplyDeleteI love St. Patty's Day because all the green polishes come out to play! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteLove mint-colored nails! The only problem is that color doesn’t suit me at all! :(
ReplyDeleteI love this combination. It helps that I am such a huge fan of chunky glitter
ReplyDeleteThese look great - can't wait for St. Patty's day!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty duo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful swatches! Love the combo.
ReplyDeleteThat glitter is so awesome! I love the colors too. Mint anything is the best!
ReplyDeleteGreen is such a hit or miss colour for me skin tone wise, but these are both pretty in a general sense. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are both lovely!
ReplyDeleteMagically mint for sure! I love a mint and a shimmery one is even better!
ReplyDeleteMagical mint is totally my favorite - that is my biggest weakness in polish :D
ReplyDeleteThat color green is absolutely gorgeous! I need to think about doing this next month.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting St Patrick's day is soon, love the colour combo looks great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect color! I'm getting exited for St. Pattys Day!
ReplyDeleteLovely combo.
ReplyDeleteI love your nail creations, simple as that! This mint color is beautiful!!! I love how neat your nails look too!
ReplyDeleteI love this color! It's so perfect for spring. Are these sold in normal stores? Might have to get the one!
ReplyDeleteI'm usually not a huge fan of green, but that shade is so pretty. And I'm a sucker for glitters and shiny designs, so that second one is great.
ReplyDeleteThat brush shot is fab! Magically Mint is super pretty!
ReplyDelete*giggles* I think you meant sinking glitters instead of stinking ;-). Cute look!
ReplyDeleteGah X.X Thanks so much for the correction, I just fixed it. I'm so terrible at finding little spelling errors like that lol.
DeleteOmg totally loving your nails!!!cutest st.pattys nails ever ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell - this is something I could do - it is subtle and yet perfect for this time of season - I am going to check it out! And, If I do it? You know I'll be sharing it on FB - now I'll have to check out becoming 'virtual friends with you! lol Of course, I could do that anyway - hugs :)
ReplyDeleteI actually really like the shimmery mint!
ReplyDeleteLove the shimmer finish on that green! Shimmer all the things!
ReplyDeleteThe decoration is nice but truth be told I like those without. That green is just too gorgeous for me to want to cover!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute look. I love to paint my nails. This is a great color for spring.
ReplyDeleteLove how this is not only suitable for St. Paddy, but also for spring in general! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this. I am going to have to check for these nail polishes at my local stores. I do my nails for St. Patrick's Day, and pretty much all of March for Irish American Heritage Month.
ReplyDeleteThat mint color is gorgeous. I usually don't like shimmer much either but I need that color.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful, the only problem is that i would pick it off to fast.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! I love your nails!
ReplyDeleteMagically Mint is gorgeous, love your swatch photos of it. I like floating charms but I cant decided if I really like the sparseness of the larger glitters or not. My mind is too tired to try and picture more of them on the nail right now.
ReplyDeleteMagically Mint is gorgeous! I like how soft it looks.
ReplyDeleteThese are both gorgeous! I love the contrast of the glitter topper over the green, but that shimmer in Magically Mint is to die for!
ReplyDeleteoh wow, I love this for the st. patty's day parade we attend! So fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely colours, I love them. Can I please just tell you though, as an Irish person we really hate it when people call it 'St. Patty's Day'. It's not Patty it's PADDY's Day!!! The nickname for Patrick is Paddy.
ReplyDeleteMagically Mint is really pretty, I love light mint colors.
ReplyDeleteGreen is my favorite color, so Magically Mint is right up my alley. I can't believe I haven't painted my nails green ever.
ReplyDeleteLove green polish so these ars right up my alley. Lovely swatches!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves decorating her nails like this. I am sure she will like this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shade
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely shade of green! Maybe I could pull it off on my toes in the spring!
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous nails! I love the one with floating charms!
ReplyDeleteSt. Patties Day isn't just a great holiday, it's also my birthday! I'm always loooking for fun ways to celebrate.
