31 Day Challenge - Day 4: GREEN!

Welcome to day 4 of the 31 day Nail Challenge, sponsored by Kimber's Lacquer Korner.  And today's color is (drumroll, please)....

GREEN!

Greetings and salutations fellow polish fiends! I am back in business and very much excited to be taking over the duties of Day 4 of the 31 Day Challenge from my lovely blogging-buddy/awesome-mom.

At first I wasn't sure what to do for the challenge. Stamping isn't exactly my forte, and free handing designs can be a bit... daunting. So, I decided to do something simple as a warm up.

I present (drumroll please) green-on-green chevron nails with a glitter accent!!!!!

Oooooooh. Aaaaaaaah.

Yes, ladies. You are not mistaken. This certainly is a lot of green nail polish. Do not be alarmed.

 For this manicure I used some choice green polishes from my stash. Deborah Lippmann's Almost Paradise which is a creamy pale pistachio green. The application on this baby was a bit of a let down. Three coats were necessary for full opacity and to avoid being a streaky mess. For the accents I used China Glaze's Tree Hugger and NYX Girls' Enchanted Forest. Tree Hugger is a gorgeous and shimmery medium green reminiscent of plants budding in the spring time. Enchanted Forest on the other hand is a magical blend of green glitters. Both polishes applied well, but by the time I started to apply them I was already frustrated by Almost Paradise.

Reaction from co-workers: "Wow. That's a lot of green."

 All in all, this wasn't my favorite manicure - between the less than stellar application of Almost Paradise to the fact that my hands became lobster-like in certain lightings, I doubt this is a combo that I would repeat again. HOWEVER, it certainly was green. So there's that.
