Green on Green + Nude Stars


I've got a couple of manis to show today and first up is this sort of festive green on green one.  Two coats or maybe three of Barry M Spring Green with Color Club Perfectly Mol-Ten as the stamping colour.  I used SHANY plate SH20 for the pattern.  This pattern is wide enough for my thumb, but it's kind of on the short side.  Perfect coverage for shorter nails, longer nails would need to be double stamped.

Next up a nude colour with some sparkly stars.


Nails are still short so I thought I would change the shape for a more elongated and feminine look.  Three coats of joe Latte as the base.  For the stars I used a flimsy piece of plastic (scotch tape works too) and painted on a layer of Color Club Gingerbread (polish on left).  Waited for that to dry and then painted half of it with Color Club Take the Stage.  After everything was dried I peeled off the dry polish and used a star paper punch to punch out the stars.  Put some top coat on the area that I wanted the star and then placed the star on top.  Finished it off with two coats of top coat.

Here's a slightly better look at the stars.


I think I've done something similar to this before, but I can't remember when.  It's probably somewhere

EU Gifts

Long time no post.  I've just been kinda lazy and haven't really been taking pics of my manis in the past week or so.  So I now have a post that should've been posted sooner.  Some polishes from London and Paris from my friend.


At the end of August my friend went to London -> Brussels -> Paris for vacation and she picked up a few polishes for me.  I had wanted greens, oranges and yellows and this is what she gifted me.  Three Barry M polishes, three Top Shop polishes and three various French polishes.


Here are nail wheel swatches.  Some look like dupes of one another, but still different.  Kinda smudged Top Shop Bee's Knees so it looks rather sloppy in the pic.  All the polishes were really nicely pigmented.  Two or three (yellows) thin coats were needed for full coverage on nails.  Great polishes all around.

Here's a swatch of Barry M Spring Green on my nails.


My hand looks really tan in this photo, but the green looks lovely.
