A St. Patrick's Day Green

Here is some pretty green glitter for St. Patrick's Day.  I've actually been on a "find a great green polish" kick for a bit cause I want all the colors.  That yearning is one reason I picked this glitter up.  I've worn this glitter a few times now.  Each time I have been happy with the result.  Well, maybe not each time, I may have been disappointed when I tried sandwiching it in a white jelly.  With it applied to the whole nail I am happy.  I thought it'd be great to do a full manicure with it because it is green and gold and I love it and it is good and festive for St. Patrick's Day.
I used a shimmery yellow polish as an accent.  I've been looking for a bright shimmery yellow polish to replace one I had long ago.  I really loved it, but the bottle leaked it out and dried it up.  So my friend picked this yellow up for me to try.  It is pretty and goes nice with the green glitter.  I don't think it is what I'm looking for still.  After I finished top coating the yellow, my friend suggested layering some specter flare (spectra flare?) on it, mostly because we love the holo topcoat.  I did indeed like the suggestion, so on went another few layers. ;)
















None of these pictures really catch the holo of the accent nail.  I'm pretty happy overall with my manicure.  Don't get too used to full manicures though, I love my skittles.


Maybe I will come back later to add the brands and names of these colors.  For now, please continue to enjoy pretty things. *hugs*
