To a gal like me, nothing says "Yummmmm..." like a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream or a box of Girl Scout Thin Mints. Most of us have inhaled a box in our lifetime, yes - YOU there. The unfortunate reality is that I along with most women gain weight simply by looking at a Cold Stone Creamery or Marble Slab store.
What is it about that savory flavor that mixes an herb with delicious chocolate? Aside from the flavor, the allure is the minty green COLOR. There is something muted and so soothing about it...

| You want it, don't you?? |
I have discovered an array of 'fat free' options of achieving the same euphoric feeling in this seasons' beautiful minty hues...Today I used Essie's 'Turquoise & Caicos'. It looks stunning on my nails and surprisingly acts as a new neutral. It took three coats to achieve the color.

| My minty mani. |
If you are looking to truly capture the mint chocolate chip feeling, design house Yves Saint Laurent have released a Manicure Couture Duo in No. 7. This would make for a truly unique french mani that would garner a lot of attention!!!
Until your cheat day, indulge in the next best thing with color. No calories, ladies.
