Today we will be taking a look at Tono & Lims Secret*Mint. This is a bluish seafoam green from their Friendship line.

This ink had medium/high shading and no sheen. This is a darker shade of mint; I would describe it as a mint blue with green undertones.

This ink had a dry flow and average saturation.

Overall: I liked this color a lot! It would work well in the spring and summer. I’ve found that most pastel mint/blues are difficult to read; however, this is a darker shade of mint and is quite pleasing to the eye.
