I haven't gone "all out" in a while!! Meaning that I always wear work-appropriate polishes and I was just itching to put something "crazy" on, something that my 90-yr-old patients would look at and call me a streetwalker!! haha =))
I haven't worn green in a while and I really wanted to wear some bling, so I combined two polishes that I haven't worn yet.
First I started with 2 coats of China Glaze Four Leaf Clover. I know, I'm about a month late as this would be perfect for St. Patty's day! But all of us need a little bit of luck everyday, right!
Formula on this was pretty good, and I achieved full opacity in 2 coats.
I wanted to warn you guys that my camera absolutely hated this polish!!! I was messing with all kinds of settings to get the color right and finally just decided to mock around with it in Photoshop. So the color of my fingers is really not that red or yellow, but the color of the polish is more accurate than in my original pics.
Of course I couldn't leave it like that and decided to top my accent nails with some glitter. But after I did one nail I loved it so much that I painted every single nail!! I chose Finger Paints Laugh My Art Off for today's lucky overcoat. I used 2 coats to fully saturate the surface with heavenly blue glitter!! The result is a tealy-greenish color with all kinds of glam and sparkle!!! LOVE!!!
I covered the whole thing with Seche Vite and the surface is pretty smooth (although not perfectly smooth). Check it out!!:
I did the best I could with these pictures, but the polish is even more vibrant and saturated in real life. Too bad I gotta go to work tomorrow and have to take this off!!!
In case you're lemming after these, Four Leaf Clover is a part of the China Glaze Spring 2010 Up and Away collection, and Laugh My Art Off came from general stock of Finger Paints polishes (I think??)
Special thanks to Erika of Icy Nails for introducing me to this AWESOME color!!!

ReplyDeleteThinking of it, I know why I like it so much right now:
DeleteI am wearing Cult Nails' Toxic Seeweed over Chic's Green Olive (local brand) and it looks very close to your combo ;-))
I will post pics hopefully at night
aaaah yes, the famous Toxic Seaweed... I love it so much!!! Can't wait to see your pics!!
DeleteLooks a bit like China Glaze Atlantis in the end. Very Pretty!
ReplyDeletewell you just made me order Atlantis.. LOL sigh, i'm such an addict!!
DeleteThat looks so awesome! Love it.
ReplyDeletethank you!! =))
DeleteOh my! Put both on the top of my wish list! I can't stop loving emeralds...
ReplyDeleteglad you like them!!! =)))
DeleteYou're right, it is nice to wear a VIBRANT shade every now and then (too bad work still limits what colors we wear).
ReplyDeleteI like the Finger Paints topcoat. Reminds me a little of Cult Nails Hypnotize Me :D
You're so right!!! that's probably why I loved it so much since I loved Hypnotize Me
DeleteI have a VERY similar Finger Paints Glitter top coat; in fact I'd say they are the exact same, but mine is called "Art you wondering". I wonder if they are from the same collection or if they are the same be just released with different names???
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I LOVE this color combo!!!!
Wuaaah... I don't have that one!!! Bummer :((. How do you like Finger Paints? It's one of my fav brands!!
