NOTW: ST. PATRICK'S NAIL #5

this is supposed to be the last nail color of my St. Patrick's Day nail series but I got really busy on Thursday & totally forgot to post it...

so for my St. Patty's nail #5

GREEN OCEAN

on

LIQUID LEATHER

PRODUCT BREAKDOWN:

Nail Magic Nail Hardener (base coat)

China Glaze Liquid Leather (base color)

Sinful Colors Green Ocean 

Nailene Acrylic Strong (top coat)

3 coats of Liquid Leather

2 coats of Green Ocean

I think two coats was a little bit too much, in my opinion... I shoulda settled for one but I got curious as to how it would look like... I guess it's ok but it's a little bit overkill on the flakies no?

some more crappy pictures... why can't I take a clearer more focused pictures like them other nail bloggers??? I'm so jealous! someone need to show me how dammit!! LOL

now that I got the greens out of the way I can finally move on to the funner Spring colors!! yay!!

hmmm... which color to do next???

I'm glad this whole St. Patty's Day NOTDs is almost over coz I'm getting sick of wearing green polish everyday... if I have to wear another green polish in the next few days, I might vomit!! LOL.... so I think Imma change it up a bit... can you all guess what I'm gonna use for the last day of the St. Patrick's Day NOTD??

NOTD: ST. PATRICK'S NAIL #3

Sally Hansen 

GREEN WITH ENVY

PRODUCTS USED:

Sally Hansen Double Duty base & top coat

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear - GREEN WITH ENVY

pictures in different lightings & camera settings...

this color is super gorgeous!!! this is now my favorite out of all the light shade nail polishes I own.. well, except for Barbie... so I now love this & (Zoya) Barbie equally... =)

this is hands down the perfect Spring color...

just thought I'd add these last photos just coz they look purrrdy!!! Spring is really here!!!

NOTD: ST. PATRICK'S NAIL #2

Wet n Wild

CARIBBEAN FROST

PRODUCTS USED:
Nail Magic nail hardener as base coat
Wet n Wild Wild Shine nail color - Caribbean Frost
INM Out The Door top coat

ok so it doesn't look green!! but nonetheless I think it's still a pretty color... the camera didn't wanna show the realness of the green shade in this nail polish... instead it looks aqua? teal? turquoise? but I promise, in person, it looks green! it's actually a Christmas shimmery green color, if I were to describe it.... it reminds me of the green in the candy canes... 

so I guess no matter how many pictures I take, if the camera does not wanna cooperate, it would not cooperate! 

FAAAAIIIIILLLLLLLLL!!!
