Stamped in Mint Green: A Versatile One-Coater

This creamy mint green polish is a standout. Its formula is remarkably opaque, requiring only one coat for full coverage. It's also designed for stamping, adding to its versatility. The self-leveling properties ensure a flawless finish without streaks or a thick application.

I've personally used many indie nail polishes, and Painted Polish's one-coat creams consistently impress with their quality. The even application and lack of streaking make them a joy to use.

Mint Mosaic & Mint Chip Magic: Glitter and Flake Fun

Mint Mosaic is a vibrant mix of rainbow glitter in a minty base. While slightly sheer, its formula is excellent and applies smoothly, ensuring great glitter distribution. A second coat is needed for complete coverage but maintains the glitter's brilliance.

Mint Chip Magic features black metallic flakies in a minty base. It applies beautifully with plenty of flakes, creating a unique, textured look. While the base may need a couple of extra swipes for complete evenness, the end result is stunning and completely opaque.

Mint to Be & Freshly Minted: Flakes and Multi-Dimensional Sparkle

Mint to Be is a captivating mix of red metallic flakies in a minty base. The color contrast is striking, and the formula is smooth and even, providing full coverage in two coats. The light flakies result in minimal texture.

Freshly Minted is a richly layered polish with gold reflective glitters, hex holographic glitters, silver, and emerald metallic flakes in a minty base. The slightly sheer base, coupled with the abundance of elements, results in excellent coverage. Due to the variety of elements, it might thicken faster, so maintaining clean bottle threads is important.

Minty Muse: A Festive Finish

Minty Muse blends bright pink, fuchsia, and gold holographic glitters with crushed gold metallic flakies in a minty base. The formula is exceptional, offering even application and complete opacity in two coats despite its sheer base. The result is a textured, glamorous finish.

This polish embodies festive cheer, the glitter distribution and base color create a balance between opacity and shimmer, allowing all elements to stand out beautifully.

Collection Comparisons & Overall Verdict

The I Love Mint collection offers a diverse range of mint-toned polishes, from creamy one-coaters to glittery and flakey delights. Each formula was easy to apply and delivered a unique look. Comparisons with similar polishes from the brand revealed that 'Freshly Minted' is the most unique in terms of its diverse mix of elements.

My personal favorite is 'Mint to Be' due to its unusual combination of red flakes and mint base. This collection is a must-have for mint lovers and those who enjoy exploring various textures and glitters. The quality of the formulas across the board makes this collection highly recommendable.
