Purge Wars: Battle of the Sage Greens

by - 13 May

A bit belated, but another battle in this purge war has begun!






OPI Mermaid's Tears, OPI Thanks a Windmillion, Zoya Bevin

Let's see who'll make it out unscathed.






2 coats

OPI Mermaid's Tears isn't a sage green, but I wanted to include it anyway. It's more of a minty green. Whatever it's called, I absolutely love the shade. However, Mermaid's Tears was a bit thin and streaky. I didn't love the application.






2 coats



OPI Thanks a Windmillion is more what I would call sage. Love it! I also really like the formula on this one - not too thin or thick and self-levelling.






2 coats

I think I prefer Zoya Bevin to TaW because it's lighter a bit more flattering. Like most Zoya cremes I have encountered, though, it was thick and finicky to apply.





Battle casualties: OPI Mermaid's Tears and OPI Thanks a Windmillion.



I feel Zoya Bevin suits my skin tone the best, and I really don't wear this shade or anything close to it very often. I'll deal with the formula by adding some thinner.



So, how do you feel about this week's battle? What would you have purged?

    They are all so pretty. I wouldn't be able to choose. Mermaid's Tears does look like a winning choice though.

    I think Mermaids Tears and Zoya look best on you. I wouldn't be purging because they're all my colors!! LOL. But in order of what I like on you: bevin best, then Mermaid, then TaW

    I liked Mermaid's Tears the best, at least from your pics. But I purged mine, so I can't talk haha None of these were "bright" enough for me, the muted-ness made me depressed lol

    I would've kept Bevin as well...only because I get horrible wear from OPI. I do love Mermaid's Tears though.

     I was on the fence about that one because I do really love the color, it just doesn't look that great on me, in my opinion. Who knows? It might hope back into my stash at some point.

     Thank you! I got great wear from Bevin, and it applied like buttah after I added some thinner.

     Haha, I have to keep myself entertained, or I'll get bored and quit. I'm glad I can entertain others as well. :)

    Mermaid's Tears is really pretty. I bet I could franken it to make it suit me a little better, but I won't because then it wouldn't be a purge. :)

    I don't know, I guess I just didn't love it enough. :)
