It's Green Week!

Hey everyone, hope everyone is well! Had an exciting day with the kids today, A's preschool class had a field trip to the pumpkin patch this morning, so B and I joined in the Fall Harvest fun! Had a hay ride, got good and lost in the corn maze, bought a bunch of pumpkins, squash, and apples, and A even got a pony ride! She was ecstatic! So adorable.

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 :)
