Going Green


With St. Patrick's Day coming up on the 17th the obvious colour choice this week was green. Three of them are loaded with glass fleck and of course it is impossible to capture the full magical beauty of them with a still photograph. Dozens of pictures taken in dozens of different lighting situations. If only it was a sunny day! Poor light makes it very difficult to get a good photo. I wish these were a little sharper but they are the best I can do right now As you can see these are a wide variety of greens.  The one on my pinky looked green with a slight blue sheen in the store.  At home it looks like blue with a green sheen!  So I covered it with glitter after this photo. Still looks blue.

Thumb = It's Not Rocket Science by Orly
Index = Ivy League by Sally Hansen
Middle = Ivanka by Zoya
Ring = Simply Smashing by OPI
Pinky = Resolution by Sally Hansen with Glow Up Already! by OPI on top

All were pretty sheer so 3 coats for every one.  Sadly there are bubbles on my index finger.  No top coat yet.

As always if you click on a photo it will open in a window all by iteself and larger than what you see here.  Click it again for the largest size.


I like really blurry pictures of sparkle.

Need to go through my nail stamping plates to see if I have anything applicable to the holiday. I don't think I do. Won't be able to do that until tomorrow. For now we have just the beginning!



Just for fun lets add one more picture.  The first 3 were from my Nikon Coolpix S80.  This last one is from my new phone which is a Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro and has a 5.1 MP Camera. Not too shabby. Both cameras got the colours right. Even my not so sharp Nikon pics still do beat the cell phone pics.  I would hope so with nearly 3X the MP's.

Looks like I have bubbles in the polish of the my middle finger too.  Crap!

Update March 14th.  I couldn't bring myself to cover any of the glass fleck yet.  That leaves one shimmery frosted index finger.  I found a four leaf clover on plate BM03 from the Bundle Monster set.  I used Where's the Tire Jack? by Sephora.  It's quite thin.  After the 17th I'm going to experiment with scotch tape patterns.  Bye for now!
