St Patrick's Day

Floral nails are an absolutely favourite of mine. They are also pretty easy to do since you don't have to be super precise. I like this tutorial.  LOVE this new Julep shade "Teri". It's a gorgeous pink coral shade. Great for Spring/Summer.  The white is Julep "Kate" and the green is Julep "Shenae".

Next is my St Patrick's Day manicure which I actually wore yesterday. Lots of green and gold! The main colour is by Cosmetic Arts and has no name. Poor nameless polish. On my middle finger I added Color Club "Holiday Splendor" and for the stripes on my pointer finger. I did the dots on my middle finger using the Cosmetic Arts polish. The dots on my pinky are Julep "Kelly". The stripes on  my ring finger are Sinful Colors "Call You Later. I also used Julep "Opal" to add flakies to some nails.

 My St Patty's mani chipped quickly so today I decided to put this on. I figured it's still festive (green and gold) but will work post-holiday too.  I used Julep "Shenae" as the main colour. It's a lovely pale mint shade with very subtle shimmer. I will say the formula sucks. It applies too thick (found that with all of the March It Girl polishes), is patchy, tends to bubble etc. For the accent nail I added Butter London "West End Wonderland" as well as Julep "Vivien". Apparently I'm on a Julep kick!

And since it is the day to wear green, here's a shot of my outfit for today. I'll post the rest tomorrow! If you are drinking today, be safe! My husband and I have boring errands to run but plan on getting dinner at Native Foods Cafe. I might have to try today's special!

HITS Mari Moon Unique Set

Get ready for an insane amount of polish pictures! I've been working on this for a while. I don't swatch and then remove a polish, I actually wear it, so this has taken some time. But it was worth it! I absolutely love this collection. It is the HITS Mari Moon Unique Set which I ordered from Llarowe. I actually got it for half price so it was a steal! These are all amazing duochromes that are very true to what you see in the bottle. The brush is kinda fat and ugly but I never had a problem with application. 2-3 coats was fine and wear time was great!

Here is the Unique set featuring Unconventional, Artsy, Daring and Chameleon. I don't normally do a "read more" link but I have so many pictures that I figured it was probably a good idea.

Just Spotted the Lizard

OPI "Just Spotted the Lizard" is from the new Spiderman collection. It's a dupe for the coved Chanel "Peridot".  I got this from Bloom using a deal so it was free. I LOVE this polish. It is such a great duochrome. I know it isn't everyones cup of tea but I love the gold/green/blue combo. You can see the full duochrome on the nail which is so cool (see first pic below). This polish applied wonderfully. It was easy to work with, hardly needed two coats, dried quickly and wore VERY well. I have about a million pictures to share.

I added a coat of spectraflair "gLORIous" topcoat... amazing! It didn't change it at all in the shade but in the sun you can see the holo effect.

Then, because this polish was wearing SO well (no chips after a few days!), I added these triangles using just a black creme. I love this look the most!

Go duochrome, go!

I've even  been wearing it on my toes. :D
