Olive You, Leopard!
I love weird leopard print color combinations, and this one is no exception. Its colors remind me of green olives with the pimentos in them, sitting in the jar waiting to accompany some poor schmuck's gin.
I can't take credit for this color combination, to be honest, I saw a rug that had the pattern, and I adored it (I wish I had bought it!) so I snapped a picture knowing that it would find its way onto my nails at some point. I love the 'gradient' (ok not so much a gradient as a color change) from the tip of the nail to the cuticle edge. The color of the orange shows up really red in the pictures, but its more of a burnt orangey red in real life. I think someone needs to develop one of them so I don't have to mix it. (think Essie Alligator purse, but more orange than red)
Anyway, on to the nails- for now all I have are pictures from the iPhone, because my camera is MIA right now. Hopefully I find it tonight, so I can take a picture of them with a real camera before they get destroyed by acetone. :)
I used American Apparel California Trooper> as a base, with American Apparel MacArthur Park for the green, and a mix of Essie Alligator Purse and China Glaze Life Preserver for the orange. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
Orly Cosmic FX Collection - Lunar Eclipse
So here is it, my favourite. So pretty and sparkly and blue. Apparently is a dupe of OPI Designer Series Magic and Sally Hansen Ultra HD Laser, but I don't have either of those, so I just love it. I know it doesn't have the same multi chrome, or even duo chrome thing going on as Space Cadet, but sometimes you just put a polish on and fall in love with it, and that is what happened with this one.
The above shot was taken in full sun, and it was so sparkly that this picture doesn't do it justice. Below shot was taken indoors, and you can still see the glossy magic of the polish.
Here it is up close. Just look at all those rich blue sparkly flecks. It reminds me of the sun reflecting off the rippling water on our pool. I feel like I could just jump in.
So there you have it, the magnificent Orly Cosmic FX collection. Go now and get it.
Go Green Friday! Loreal Paris Jade 31F
It's Go Green Friday! Hope you have a good one. I found an awesome green polish at dollar tree. You know the ones in the double packs. It's an oldie but a goodie. Loreal Paris Jade a blue tone green with gold shimmer. I love this unusual green. The brush is a mile long. Lol! No application issues being this is an old polish. That goes to show you nail polish last forever! If it starts to dry out simple add nail polish thinner. Used 2 coats.
I really love the gold shimmer in it. So sparkly out in the sun.
