For a ten day hiatus. Is an extremely hectic academic schedule a valid excuse? Fear not, in this time I have not neglected my nails, just been neglecting blogging about them. Since I never posted about my myriad of St. Patrick's Day themed manicures I have belated gorgeous greens for you!
Sally Hansen Gentle Blossom. I love mint greens despite the fact that they give me lobster claw hands. The shimmer in this one makes it extra special. It is more of a blue toned mint green, along the line of Essie Mint Candy Apple but not as blue as Sinful Colors Mint Apple. This is from a line that Sally Hansen claims is "Miracle Growth" and will make your nails 30% longer after a week to 10 days of wear. Now I can never wear a polish for 10 days without changing it so I can't truly attest to it's miracle growing abilities but I have to doubt that a polish can make your nails longer when growth happens in the nail matrix underneath the skin...
Zoya Ivanka. I don't know how many of you got on the green promo at Zoya but I sure did. Ivanka did not disappoint. She is awesome. Greens are definitely my thing, especially emerald green. Ivanka looks like a glitter but applies smoothly and is opaque in three coats. I found that three coats that were on the thinner side worked best because if I started with two much polish it got kind of runny.
Zoya Gemma. Another lovely green from Zoya that I also obtained through a promo. I've been blown away by how many promos Zoya has been having lately. How can they be making any money at all? Gemma is a pea green that has a flash of blue/purple shimmer. This picture is taken indoors and at night so I had a hard time capturing the shimmer but it is there and it adds a completely unique element to Gemma, which in my opinion would have still been great even if it were just a creme.
China Glaze Four Leaf Clover. The only think I can think of is wow. Four Leaf Clover is incredible. Not quite a neon but still very bright. So bright that it did goofy things to the camera that is making it look way more teal and closer to CG Custom Kicks then it is in real life. Think about the color of a... hmm. Not very easy to describe! Strangely enough the first thing I think of is green frosting. I could just be hungry though. ;-) Even stranger, I think this might be my favorite of the batch, if I could pick a favorite out of a group of green polishes. I do love a prefect creme.
In other news I have reached five followers! A small accomplishment but one that makes me smile nonetheless. So thank you lovely followers of mine, I truly appreciate that you take the time to read my blog. I am slowly collecting polishes to put together for a giveaway for my followers but I'm going to go on a couple more dusty diving trips to see if I can't dig up something really good. Speaking of giveaways I have one from another blogger that I will be blogging about shortly. Trust me, this one is not to be believed! Until then I hope you enjoyed my belated St. Patty's Day post!
