Christmas-y Mani with Wet n Wild Poison Ivy, Smitten Polish Zelda's Fall-ly & Lynnderella Season's Glitterings

Good morning!  I am really having fun with holiday colors and glitters lately, can you tell?!  Well today's post is a simple but very pretty mani.  Of course I used classic Christmas colors...green and red.  I needed some bling so I sprinkled a little glitter on a few nails.  I used Wet n Wild, Smitten Polish and Lynnderella.  Let's check out their links so we can talk about the polish and look at pretty pictures, mkay?

First I used Wet n Wild Poison Ivy.  Yes I know it's from the 2012 Halloween collection but I adore this color!  Such a gorgeous deep hunter green with the same tone shimmer.  I used 2 coats on my thumb, index and middle fingers.  The formula on this polish is amazing.  The wide brush is excessively wide but I don't let it hinder my love for the color and formula.  Once dry I sponged Lynnderella Season's Glitterings.  Season's Glitterings is from the 2012 holiday collection and it's a fabulous glitter topper with "multiple shapes and sizes of silver, gold, green, blue, red, purple and pink holographic glitters."  Wow the holo goodness in this is amazing!  I sponged on 2 layers and really want to wear a full mani with SG after this little tester!  I then used Smitten Polish Zelda's Fall-ly on my ring and pinky nails.  Such a gorgeous linear red holo!  This is from the Turning Leaves Tree-O and is no longer available.  Application and formula of Zelda's Fall-ly are both amazing.  2 buttery coats for full coverage.  I used topcoat to finish this mani.

St. Patrick's Day Polish Spam!

It seemed to be quite a popular post when I queued up several manis for Valentine's Day so I'm back with a post chalk full of green polishes.  I picked several different finishes to show off: glitter, holo, shimmer, flakie, textured, creme and color shifting!  I will give a brief description of each mani combination before the pictures.   I hope you enjoy looking at all the pictures.  Here we go!

1. Zoya Pixie Dust Vespa.  Soft sage green.  Textured.  2 layers, no topcoat.

2. Eliana Trevo da Sorte and Pure Ice Sheer Luck.  Trevo is a pistachio green creme.  I used 2 coats.  Sheer Luck is dense green micro glitter with blue and purple diamonds.  I used 1 coat, then 1 layer of topcoat. 

3. China Glaze L8R G8R.  This is from the OMG, 2009.  So everything from this collection is very hard to find and pricey.  L8R G8R is a light lime green with gorgeous linear holo.  I used 3 thin coats and no top coat.

4. Dior Lime and Red Dog Designs The Temptress.  Lime is a very beautiful lime green creme with subtle hidden shimmer.  I used 2 coats.  I accented 1 nail with 1 coat of Red dog Designs The Temptress - a gorgeous tone on tone green glitter bomb.  1 layer of top coat on the accent nail only.

5. Illamasqua Radium and Femme Fatale Keeper of the Grove.  I started with 2 coats of Radium, a shimmery neon green.  I accented 2 nails with 2 coats of Keeper of the Grove, a neon green glitter with other neon colored glitters sprinkled in (including pink circles!  Yay!).  I layer of topcoat.  

6. Cult Nails Feelin' Froggy and Darling Diva Polish Bonnie Lassie.  Here I started with 2 coats of Feelin' Froggy, a pretty shimmery kelly-ish green.  I then dabbed Bonnie Lassie on the tips of all nails.  1 layer of topcoat.

7. wet n wild Poison Ivy and Sinful Colors Green Ocean.  Poison Ivy is very dark and pigmented deep hunter green with shimmer...I only needed 1 coat for full coverage.  I then used 1 coat of Green Ocean, a green/blue/aqua shifting flakie polish (how could I not used Green Ocean in this post?!).  1 layer of topcoat.

8. OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow and Ninja Polish Alexandrite.  HTAT is a blackened hunter green creme.  I used 2 coats (but should have used 3).  I then used 1 coat of Alexandrite (which is not currently available).  Alexandrite is a gorgeous green/purple/aqua color shifting polish.  1 layer of topcoat.

9. Last but not least - not a green polish, but so very fitting for today!  The Nail Junkie Pot o' Gold!  Inspired by the black pot full of gold at the end of the rainbow.  This is a very lovely black crelly-ish base full of gold microglitter and gold circles (coins).  I used 3 coats and 1 layer of topcoat.
