Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet

When I cut my nails super short (this time it was more of an accident rather than intentional), I tend to wear a lot of pastels--doubly so now that we're finally starting to get a winter thaw where I live! I'm one of those people that would be perfectly content to go without winter weather all together. But I digress... The moral of the story is, I was in the mood to rock some spring-y pastels, so I reached for Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, a pastel mint green creme.




The formula on Mint Sorbet was excellent and covered in two coats--impressive for a pastel! I didn't get lobster hands from this polish either so of course I love that as well. I think very pale and very dark-skinned ladies in particular will really rock this color. Mint Sorbet looks so fresh and light. The name matches the feel of this polish perfectly...although as someone who once worked in an ice cream place that also sold sorbet, I personally think actual mint sorbet sounds kind of disgusting haha. We had apple cider sorbet once and while that may sound good, I always thought it tasted like wet graham crackers!


The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear brush is a little wide for my nails but I still like the Xtreme Wear polishes a lot. I think you get a good bang for your buck (about $2 dollars for 0.4 oz) and they usually have some pretty interesting and varied colors. If you're looking to add a great mint green to your collection, I'd suggest giving Mint Sorbet a shot. With both spring and St. Patrick's Day around the corner, I can see this one getting a lot of love from me in the near future.


Which colors do you gravitate toward more during spring?

  1. Love this color! It reminds me of one of my all times favorites, Essie's Mint Candy Apple! :) Pastels are fun for spring..I think that's when I first got Essie's Lilacism.

    1. Thank you! The brush is a pain for sure--I feel like all of the Sally Hansen lines have really wide brushes, especially the awful Insta-Dri ones!
