OPI "Gargantuan Green Grape"

Today's notd is OPI's "Gargantuan Green Grape," a green that is a brighter, fresher take on a mint green.

"Gargantuan Green Grape" refuses to photographed true to color when it's in the bottle. Compared to China Glaze's "Re-fresh Mint," you can see how "Gargantuan Green Grape" is less muted than your standard mint green.

Even though the photo below is much truer to color than the ones in the bottle, it's hard to capture how bright this color really is.

Pros
  • Fun color for sunny days.
  • This color, aside from being fun, is different from all the other pastel mints out there. It is still a minty green, but much brighter, making it a great fit for summer.
Cons
  • Streaky formula.

Final Verdict: This is one of my current favorite polishes to wear on both my toes and my fingers. I have been a big fan of pastel mints the previous years, so having a brighter version of a mint color is fun. Streaky formula is always something I can look past if I love a color, which applies in this situation. No pun intended (:
