Late Green Spam

So errr... St Patrick's Day was yesterday but here is my green post. Sorry it's late! Enjoy :)



A-England Dragon. A dark yellow-toned green scattered holo with gold shimmer! *licks*



Essence Back to Paradise. Deep blue-toned green jelly. Not so keen on the formula but the colour is amazing.



One coat of Big Universo Espectral over Nfu-Oh 56 over China Glaze Gussied Up Green.



MAC Dry Martini. Gross colour? Yes. Do I still love it? Also yes.





Ozotic 503 over black. The colour shift is subtle compared to the other Ozotics but it's still very pretty.




OPI Simply Smash-ing! Gives me the worst lobster hands in the world but I still love it.




Unnamed Sasatinnie. Very dark smoky green jelly with some hidden shimmer. Reminds me of Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow.



Jelly sandwich with New York Summer Amaranth and Love my Nails Pink Surprise. Diamond glitter!



OPI Jade is the New Black. A perfect dusty green. One of my most worn green cremes.



China Glaze L8R G8R. Pale green holo. I haven't pulled this baby out in years! Glad I did!




Misa Let's Go Green. Bright, bright lime with gold shimmer. Gold shimmerrrrrr...




And lastly, Rimmel Mania. My love. I know this isn't technically green but that's besides the point :) My bud Kristy snapped this up for me on eBay. (((((hugs!)))))) Isn't she wonderful?! Mania is a close cousin of Bloom Bianca. But better. So much better!

Hope everyone's St Paddy's Day was awesome, green and full of good luck!

A Few Recent NOTDs

Some of what's been on my nails for the past little bit....


A slight gradient mani. Ozotic 601 (the pink) with 624 (purple) sponged lightly on the tips. The effect reminded me of the pink to purple Claire's mood polish.



ChG Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. Three coats over one coat of Revlon Powder Puff. Streaky as hell but well worth the effort. Neon highlighter yellow!



RBL No More War. Two coats. The colour of baby poop. Love it.



Lynnderella Connect the Dots over ChG Kiwi Cool-ada. Love CtD so very much. It's amazing over pretty much everything - pastels, neons.... just amazing.



Black stamped with ChG High Def. Plate BM221. The image didn't come out very well but I think it looked really cool anyway. I copied this mani from my friend JiLoverz who did something similar a while back.


I've also updated my contact page with a small FAQ. Nothing exciting... but I thought I'd let you guys know anyway.

China Glaze It's Alive

I only picked up one of this this year's Halloween offerings from China Glaze. The others didn't thrill me but the one I did pick up is pretty awesome!




It's Alive. This is two coats. It's a murky, dark green base filled with two different sizes of light, mossy green glitter. I absolutely love how the glitter seems to really stand out against the base which gives more of a sense of depth and complexity.

China Glaze Zombie Zest

This was from last year's Halloween collection. It has a few near dupes but I like this one the best. Mostly because of the name. Zombie Zest. AWESOME!




Zombie Zest (still awesome!) is a brown/olive green jelly which contains lots of gold-ish green glass-fleck/foil particles that flash blue at extreme angles. My pictures don't capture any of the duochrome though :(

I'm big! Click me!
I'm pretty picky about which of the "ugly-pretty" colours I like (there are many that just don't appeal to me) but I really enjoy this one!

Welcome!

Hi guys!

This is my first blog post. How exciting! I'm all giddy :)

Ok.. how about a nice picture?

China Glaze Wagon Trail. Two coats. A beautiful deep green with a heavy gold shimmer which makes it look olive. From the gorgeous Rodeo Diva collection.
