Mint and Coral Trend Week: BTOUCH Teal Palace

As I mentioned yesterday I am big on this new trend of coral and mint.  I've decided to make a week f it and show you the polishes from my stash that are on point.  This is BTOUCH Teal Palace.  I have only ever seen this brand in nail salons and it is possible that they are made custom for salons.  Anyways if you check out a few salons in your area I bet you can find them.  Teal Palace is a bright mint green creme that borders on pastel.  It has the formula issues of a pastel.  The first coat is patchy and streaky, but it evens out on the second coat.  I think this is a bit brighter than this Spring's mint green, but I like it all the same.
2 coats Sea Palace, no topcoat, artificial light
Definitely still not what I'm looking for for the mint/coral nail art I want to do, but a good spring color for sure.  Enjoy!

Spring Coral and Mint!

Hey guys!  Hope at least some of you have today off like me!  The bf actually stayed home today as well.  He has been remarkably tolerant of my lazy monday and has sat by while I swatched my heart out.  I wanted to do some funky nail art inspired by the spring mint and coral trend that is EVERYWHERE.  I can't find jeans in coral or mint that I love yet, so I decided to stalk polyvore to come up with some mani inspiration and show you all what I meant.  I am new to polyvore, so I haven't mastered fancy organization, but I think you all will get the drift.  I haven't done the mani yet, but I have been doing swatches of all the colors I can find in my stash that are on trend.    With the hundreds of polishes in my study I am SHOCKED by how few of these colors I own.  Excuse to shop?  I think so.  Hush - don't tell the bf ;)


Anyone else on polyvore?  I need some people to follow!  So far my most on trend mint seems to be Essie Navigate Her.  Even that is a bit too pistachio to be right on trend.  What do you guys think are the best polishes for this trend?
