| I've had quite a few people comment on my nails in the past ask what I was using or wish I'd done a close-up so they could see better, etc., etc., and had a realization: Why not do a feature on nail polish? It's not book-related (Unless you're wearing the new HUNGER GAMES-inspired line from China Glaze, but I'm not even going into how wrong that is...), but it's fun. Plus, if I do this feature, I'll be more likely to re-paint my nails this week and less likely to let them chip their way to the bare bones (which would mean that I could see my nails...and if I see them, I want to bite them!). |
Welcome back to another edition of Mad About Nails!
I'm not Irish, but today IS my dad's birthday...and his favorite color is green...sooooooooo.
Sorry the updates have been slow. When I have free time, I'm doing a lot of prep for Fairy Tale Fortnight, which begins a week from today! I'm really excited, and I hope you are, too!
To celebrate today, here are my green nails for the week:
The last two days were stormy/snowy, and today is shaping up to be sunny, but I have to leave for work soon, and it's too early to go outside and film/take pictures, etc.
Sorry for today's poor lighting!

I'm still using Sally Hansen Nail Nutrition Green Tea + Olive Growth as my base coat, because I'm STILL trying to get my nails to a healthy state again. I have off next week, and I'm thinking about going bare, re-applying this every other day, since there will be no one to see...
Today's base color is "Bonsai" from Revlon ColorStay. I have a light coat of "Blasted" from Sephora by OPI on top. It was supposed to shatter, but didn't really do so. I don't know if it's because the polish is from when it first came out a year (Or is it two now?) ago, or because it's a glitter... It shattered a little better on my right hand:
Here's a look at all of the supplies for this look:

What I love:
This shade of green from Revlon is so much fun, like sour apple. I could have worn it on its own!
When the green and gold hit the light together, they really sparkle. It's like I'm looking at a pot of gold!
Here's the best shot of "sparkle" I could get against the window this morning:

"Blasted" didn't shatter well, especially on my left hand. I don't know if it's because the formula is getting old or because glitter notoriously doesn't shatter as well as more opaque colors. It did create a fun illusion, though, so in certain lighting, you can't really tell if my nails are green or gold.
I do kind of wish I'd stayed with just the green now, though. I was going to do a shattered tip, but it wasn't shattering and looked weird, so I just did the whole nail instead...

Is anyone else obsessed with nail polish? What are you wearing right now?
