Day 4: Green

31 Day Nail Challenge

I keep a box (a Birchbox box actually) on my table with my untried polishes in it, that way I can go through them first more easily.  So here is another set of untrieds!  This is Julep "Diane", a very dark Forest green, and Kleancolor "Holiday Jingle".

"Diane" applies super patchy and looks watery the first coat but the second coat evens it out and makes it completely opaque so overall the application is actually perfect in two coats. A lot of Julep polishes are one coaters though.  I think they have amazing polishes as far as quality goes! If you aren't a Julep Maven yet, become one! You can still get a box for only $5, just google "Julep Maven coupon".

"Holiday Jingle" is so pretty! A green glitter in a green jelly base may not sound like much but I love how this polish looks like it's glowing vs sparkling. Love it. I did just the tips because I didn't want to lose the colour of "Diane" which I love. Greens like to photograph more blue and "Diane" is no exception here so just know that it is 100% green not at all blue.


I knew this would look great matte so I tried out a coat of Essie "Matte About You" over a couple fingers. Love! I love how "Diane" goes super matte but the glitter in "Holiday Jingle" still shines.

Sorry about the picture quality. It's actually pouring down rain today! A rarity here. I couldn't use my camera flash and it's never great without the flash.

Friday Foodie post to come!

  1. I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of obsessed with your nails right now. That green is AMAZING! I'm trying to have more fun with nail color I just don't have the time to change it as often as I'd like. I need to find this color though!
