Love and Beauty Mint

This pretty was a gift from my mother-in-law. We went to the mall together a couple of weekends ago, and I had so much fun with her running into all the tween stores looking at polish. =)

This is Love and Beauty Mint from Forever 21. This is probably the third polish I've gotten from them that's just called Mint. I get that these are re-branded LA Girl polishes, but would it kill them to be a little more creative in the naming than just calling everything Blue, Green, Purple, etc.?

Anyway! Here it is. It's a lovely mint with a hint of blue shimmer.

I've had great experiences with Love and Beauty polishes, and this one is no exception.

Two effortless coats, completely non-fussy application. It is love!

Thanks, Mom-in-law! ♥

Polish Memories - Love & Beauty Jade

It's funny how polish can evoke a memory of a time or a place. The first time my husband came to visit me, we went to the mall the last day he was here. Our goal was to find a necklace (which we did), but we also stopped in at Claire's and Forever 21. This polish, Love & Beauty Jade, was the first polish my husband ever bought for me. =)

Bright, shimmery green, insta-love! It dries super fast and almost to a matte finish like a neon, but while this is bright, it doesn't seem like a neon at all. Of course, top coat fixes it right up anyway.

The reason that this polish is so important to me isn't simply because he bought it for me, but because of what buying it for me represented - acceptance. He has always accepted and encouraged this kooky hobby of mine, and that means the world to me.

So thank you, honey. This one's for you. =)
