Shrek Inspired - Nails Of The Day - Sinful Colors Show Me The Way and Milani Green Glow
I rocked a green peasant jersey knit top today with my peacock feather earrings & of course, peacock colors on my lids & nude lips. Although green is my all time favorite color, I was a little hesitant about wearing these colors. I draw the line at green polish on the toes though. Right away I think "FUNGUS".
I used my standard procedure...
Base Coat
3 coats of color
Top Coat
I found the Sinful Colors Show Me The Way to be a bit flakey, especially if I did not wait long enough between coats. This is tricky because I am sometimes impatient.
The Milani Green Glow was more sheer than I anticipated. Even with 3 coats, I could still see the VNL (visible nail line). GRRRRR
This photo was taken in Direct Sunlight with my Treo. Can you see the glitter better because of the blur?
Unless otherwise noted, the pictures were taken in diffused natural sunlight.
Do you ever wear green nail polish?

Yield for Yellow - Nails Of The Day - NK Amarillo and Revlon Banana Blaze
These show stopping, POPPING yellow nails will have people breaking their necks for a double take!
I LOVE the contrast against my brown skin. They would set off a Nautical outfit, or compliment animal print or a billowy maxi-dress.
The NK Amarillo is cool and creamy! It only took 2 coats to get the perfect opacity.
The Revlon Banana Blaze warmed things up a bit. Can you see the gold flecks?
Do you have any yellow Nail Polish?

Nails Of The Day - e.l.f. Fire Coral and NK Pink Diamond
"Borderline OBNOXIOUS", these bright coral shades are not for the conservative.
Guaranteed to make your toes pop, poolside or on the boardwalk!
These look fabulous against tanned or brown skin!
Base
3 Fire Coral
2 Pink Diamond on top of the Fire Coral on the ring finger & pinky only.
Clear Top Coat
I know it seems like a lot, but the Pink Diamond is kind of sheer and I wanted the Fire Coral to serve as a base color.
I took these photos on day 2 of having worn these polishes! I think they held up pretty well, considering all of the chores and cooking I have done.
All photos were shot under diffused natural sunlight without flash.
Do you like orange or coral nail polish?
