A very late St Paddy's Day Mani

I completely forgot to put these pictures up. This is what I wore for St.Patrick's Day.

My dad changed the lens on the camera and I didn't want to ruin my nails changing it back to my usual one so the pictures are a little strange :)

It was a fun mani to do and pretty quick, other than having to let the varnish dry between coats :)

I used two coats of Illamasqua radium as a base and made these shapes in the corner with Bettina Mojito and an old unnamed yellow polish I had lying around. I used Bettina Disco on my ring finger to glitz it up and popped some dots on there for good measure.

Green Layering Experiment

So the idea was simple, I wanted a mani to match my hair, which was green...sort of :) my hair never goes one shade when I dye it, its now a greeny blue. I went with Bettina Mojito as a base, I love this green, it takes 2 coats for decent coverage but its easy to work with. I then popped on a layer of Max Factor max effects Graffiti to give it a slightly blue tone. I couldn't resist putting on some flakies to liven it up a little, I used Nfu Oh 39, its not a subtle flakie its pretty densely packed but goes on smoothly. And then to top it off I used my newly acquired Nostalgic Underground..

It was so shiny and complex looking, I was happy but I think it was a little too shiny for me so I got out my trusty matte top coat and I loved it even more.

Here it is in the sun:

And in the shade:

And more importantly it matches my hair :) I added some scales to my ring finger.
