On to business, I realize that today is Wednesday, and you're probably expecting a Pink Wednesday post. I had a pink mani all planned out, but in reality it was a fail. Multiple nails got smudged, I did my best to fix them, then the stamping image transfer didn't go so well, so I scrapped it altogether.
The powers that be (you know who you are) have decided that this week's theme is Green, so I did a green mani instead. Now, I'm not a fan of green nail polish, and I don't own many, so I was pretty limited on what to do with this one, but I think it turned out well! I already used one of my greens earlier this week for the Dragon mani, so I pulled out a new one I've not tried before.
Orly Jealous, Much? & Claire's Written in the Stars |
This is 2 coats of Orly Jealous, Much? that came in the Cool Romance 6 pack. I didn't love this. It's pretty watery and streaky. Sheer in some places, opaque in others, it's sticky, and takes forever to dry! Then I added a layer of Claire's Written in The Stars, a fun glitter topcoat with different sizes of silver holographic glitters with large blue star glitters. Gorgeous, but very hard to get any stars, I had to dig and dig and dig, and finally use my dotting tool to fish out each star and place them by hand.
This was kind of a fussy mani for me, but it turned out pretty, I think.
What's your favorite green polish? Let me know in the comments :)
