Countdown to St. Patrick's Day: Green Manicure #3

Green Manicure #3 is two coats of Zoya's Holly, a pretty dark green foil I swatched on its own back in December. I added some fauxnad dots with Revlon Copper Penny, and I like the color combo!

Countdown to St. Patrick's Day: Green Manicure #2

I can't believe I skipped China Glaze Emerald Sparkle during Green Week! So of course I had to include it in my Countdown posts. I think everyone's heard of this dark green jelly filled with bright green glitter, but if you haven't, here's two coats in the sunlight:



And here it is stamped with a fauxnad fishnet pattern in Femme Couture Chrome, in the sunlight:

Countdown to St. Patrick's Day: Green Manicure #1

I'm not Irish, but I do enjoy a good seasonal manicure, so here is #1 of my 7--my first successful jelly sandwich! Yay me! :D This is two coats of Sinful Colors San Francisco, then one coat of China Glaze Treasure Chest, another coat of SCSF and a coat of Nubar Diamont.

Just for GG--Nubar Night Sparkle

Nubar Night Sparkle is the third and final polish I own from the Nubar Sparkles collection. It's a gorgeous blue jelly base with blue glitter. It's just a bit darker than a royal blue, but not quite navy. It reaches bottle color in three easy coats, stains like all blue polishes and doesn't soak up topcoat like some glitters. All swatches are three coats of Night Sparkle and two coats of Nubar Diamont.

BornPretty nameless magnetic polish

This is the third BornPretty magnetic nail polish I got with my recent order. This poor thing doesn't have even a color name on the website, just "NL004" on the bottle. It's a lovely plummy brown, made even more lovely by tiny bits of shimmer. For these swatches, I used two coats of NL004 and the magnet from the China Glaze Magnetix collection.

BornPretty magnetic nail polish in Light Red

This is the second BornPretty magnetic nail polish I got with my recent order. It's described as "light red" on the BornPretty website and named "NL013" on the bottle. I would not call this red at all, it's more of a deep rose or a desaturated burgundy. It's a lovely color, made even more lovely by a magnet. For these swatches, I used two coats of NL013 and the magnet from the China Glaze Magnetix collection.

BornPretty magnetic nail polish in Pink

BornPrettyStore just started carrying magnetic nail polishes! In fact, they're so recent that there are no color drops, no swatches, just a hard-to-identify what-goes-with-what color wheel. I got three, and today I have the first one swatched for you. The bottle (which looks exactly like an OPI bottle with a crackle top) gives the polish maker's name as Liang Qi Er, and the polish is described as "pink" on the BornPretty website and named "NL011" on the bottle. It's a dusty rose, and would definitely be a gramma color if it weren't for its magnetic qualities. For these swatches, I used two coats of the polish and the magnet-onna-stick provided. I like the polish, hate the magnet!
