Another oldie but a goodie, is the serene Sea by Sally Hansen
It’s officially Spring, and that means that the pastels are out in full force. On today’s nails I have Sally Hansen’s ‘Sea’. It is a beautifully soft mint shade that hints at a few blue notes, but it is definitely green unlike it’s name suggests. When I think of ‘Sea’ I automatically think of blue and usually this type of minty shade would be called ‘Seafoam’.
The pearlescence of it adds a touch of extra dimension, but isn’t as sparkly as a shimmer. If I were to grade this on Luxxe Appeal, I’m not sure it would score too highly as it has a very thick consistency despite appearing sheer. Luckily Sea escapes testing as it’s an oldie so I have to take that into account.
It’s a beaut of a colour though! A lovely and fresh pastel shade.
Have you started wearing pastels?
Looks beautiful with your nail shape! I haven’t really started wearing pastels yet but I guess it’s time already. I can’t believe it’s almost April. o_o
Thanks Julie! I’m really enjoying having this colour on.
Can’t believe it either! It feels like it was only New Years just a while ago lol. and yes it’s time to get the pastels out, hope to see some on your nails soon 🙂 x
I LOVE your nail shape! I’ve used a few other colors from that line (Air, Whisper, and Sorbet) and they were tricky to apply too. It’s a shame because they’re all so light and calming.
Thank you! Did a little googling and I’m loving the other colours you have, they’re gorgeous! Kind of want to track them down now lol 100% with you – so sad about the application, especially when the shades are so perfect
I actually got Whisper and Sorbet at Big Lots for only like a dollar each–I lucked out, but was grumpy at the same time because it was right after I had paid full price on Air. XD I think a lot of it is because they’re pastels and pastels almost always apply like Satan’s pit sweat. T___T
haha gross imagery there but I get what you mean 😀
That was lucky! So weird how things like that happen (that you saw them for less afterwards) never happens the other way around lol
Yeah. As a nail freak, my rule to myself is to not spend more than $4 on a polish at a time, and this was like the universe scolding me for not obeying my rule. XD
I want to try!!
You should! Mint shades are lovely for Spring and this year, the paler the better!
a lovely colour with your complexion, you went back to the almond shape? it really suits you. steph x
Yes, the almonds are back! I missed them too much 🙂 x
I love this shape on you so much!
The colour is beautiful with your nail shape.
Thank you. I always like the contrast of soft colours with stronger shapes
Gorgeous colour! Xo
Such a pretty colour! I love your nails 🙂
