Scandal Love Holic Green and Bloom Abbie

I was just swatching when I originally did this combo but I liked it so much that I stopped, finished off the rest of my nails and kept it as my NOTD.



Scandal Love Holic Green. Love Holic Green is gorgeous. Really beautiful. I've used up a good third of my bottle because I love it so much. It resembles this Shisem I posted about earlier on except it's a tad lighter and doesn't have any jelly-like qualities to it. It's a perfect two coater creme. I remember seeing Kiki Chaos raving about it which made me take it out of my untrieds where it had been sadly sitting.


Then I layered a coat of Bloom Abbie over it.



Abbie consists of transparent, crystal-like glass-flecks in a clear base. This combo makes me long for snow! It doesn't snow down here in Melbourne but I so wish it did. I want to wake up one morning and see something like this...

Of course, my backyard look absolutely nothing like that and it'd also be a shit cold morning... but a girl can dream right? :)

A green, a blue/green and a blue shimmer

Three shimmery polishes - one green, one blue-ish green and one blue! All three belong in my current, ever-changing Top 20.

The green...





Precision Poison Ivy. A medium-dark forest green with gold shimmer. I have a few colours like this but this one is my favourite. Greens like this just do me in every time. Plus the freaking gold shimmer is so darn lovely. Amaze.


The blue/green...



Bloom San Francisco AKA Bianca in the regular line. So complex. It's composed of a slightly teal, blue base with lots of gold shimmer but it also has a green pearl overlay which makes it look slightly duochrome and so astonishingly awesome.


The blue...




Etude House BL009. Super duper glowy blue with heaps of green shimmer. Kind of reminiscent of Orly Royal Navy since it has the same kind of idea. It's VERY vibrant. You have to see this one in person to fully appreciate it.


A while back, I promised Kris a picture of my furry little friend. So here he is (kind of, lol)...

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!
