I do like the color but comes off streaky, will need at least 3 coats. Without a top coat, chipped in 3 days.

I like it. It's a great bright, milky, creme mint color, like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Also cheap! Only downside is that it goes on rather thin (not goopy or clumpy at all though, just thin), I needed 3 coats to get decent coverage. But what do you expect from drug store nail polish? As far as DS brands go, this is one of the best. And once I got it all smoothed out it looked gorgeous! Great for spring and very flattering on my fair skin.

I couldn't even get Mischievous Mint when i pre-ordered a massive number of products in the MAC Quite Cute collection! So i bought Revlon Minted as a consolation - not quite a dupe, a little less blue and a tad lighter, but pretty darn close.


This polish went on more smoothly and easily than MAC polishes, and i had no clumping or gooping, which others on MUA have complained of. I needed two coats, as i usually do with my very ridged nails, and the coverage was solid and opaque - with MAC polishes i often need a third coat because they are so thin.


And frankly, this stuff not only goes on better, but it holds up better than MAC polishes. I neglected to put on a base coat (naughty me) and didn't bother with a top coat, both of which i usually do, and which i MUST do with MAC polishes to get them to go on evenly and not chip off within hours. And here it is a week later and it isn't even chipped!


The Revlon name may lack the cachet of MAC, and MAC polishes may cost three times as much, but Revlon definitely holds up better.

Don't like the color. If I am gonna put an unnatual color on my nail, it better look funky, or chic, or something with a stylish vibe. This color just dont look right once applied. The finished look contain too much "white chalk" in it. Not whiteness as in creamy, but a chalk powdery feeling. May fool a camera, as camera dont catch depth and smoothness well, but looks cheap in real life.
The consistancy is runny and clumpy. .

It's may look like a member of the very hip minty color family. But it got to one of the ugly stepsisters of the family.

PS: A lot of people go easy on products that cost them little money. For me, purchase price is not only "cost" to consider. I "spend" a spot in my nail polish collection on a product, then it better justify the space it has taken.
Revlon #85 minted is a large bottle of wastefulness.

This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes. I love Revlon nail polishes in general though. The prices are great, they are about $3-4 at any drugstore. I love the color selection! "Minted" is a beautiful minty green, although I detect a little blue in it. I think it looks great on any skin tone. It doesn't have any shimmer or glitter in it. I like the brush, it's small. It can be kind of streaky because it is a little sheer but 2-3 coats is good. Every time I look at this color it makes me happy. Overall, a great spring/summer color!

THIS IS AN AMAZING PRODUCT!! Because of its bright and vivid color, it makes everyone look tan as if you just went on vacation to California!!! It is not clumpy, dry, or crusty but shiny, vivid, and bright as can be! I love it and would absolutely bye again
Revlon. I also use a Revlon eye liner which is very good! But back to the polish, I RECOMMEND IT COMPLETELY!! This is not just an ordinary polish, it is a wonder!! BUY THIS PRODUCT!! HAHAAHA

This color is gorgeous on my skintone (NC35), it doesn't really show up as a mint, more like a pale blue. But I adore it :) Unfortunately, it has THE crappiest formula EVAR. Very goopy and streaky, however, i can still work with it :)

I have mixed feelings about this. The application of this polish is quite streaky. The first time I applied it, it was horrible so I removed it, started from scratch and tried again. It was a bit better but still applied streaky. I tried it with a base coat as well, but didn't really help the situation. I used about three coats until I was satisfied with the colour on my nails, but also made it take longer to dry as well. The shade is a cool mint green which would be nice for Spring and suits my medium skin-tone. I also found it chipped more easily if I didn't apply a top-coat.

I love this nail polish! The color is beautiful, probably my favorite right now. It does apply streaky on the first coat, but the second coat makes it look totally solid. You may even need three, but if you just keep at it you will get a shiny perfect coat. It also isn't the longest wearing polish, but it's not going to chip and flake much if you finish with a top coat. But I don't really mind because I love the color so much!
