Hopefully, everyone has recovered from all their St. Paddy's day endeavors! I snapped a few photos of yesterday's mani and the wonderful gifts I received in the mail!!
For this manicure I did one coat of Rimmel Camouflage with three coats of Nfu-Oh 56. I love the flakies in this manicure. They were a little hard for me to capture in the direct sunlight, but I know you can see those opalescent flakes! Pardon the tip wear, I wore this one all week :)
Here's a macro shot from that same mani.
Here are the lovely giveaway goodies I received this week from Mary over at
Body and Soul. I recently won one of her Friday Follower giveaways and I loooove my prize pack.
I received - California Mango hand care kit
- Orly French Polynesian Travel Kit
- Barielle Rebuilding Nail Protein
- Orly Nail Rescue (So happy I won this!)
- China Glaze Dripping Wet (I'll have swatches for you soon!)
So this was a lovely package to get in the mail. Did you get any goodies in the mail this week?

Since there is no such thing as too many green polishes, I figure why not post some! Just call me Alan GreenSPAM.
This lovely is Rimmel Camouflage. It's a beautiful green with a golden shimmer to it. The bottle says it'll be good in one coat, but I didn't find that to be the case. This here is two coats! A great St. Patrick's Day color!
Zoya Suvi, is a great blackened deep forest/hunter green. In super dark lighting it can tend to look black, but in the sunlight this polish shows its rich shimmer. This polish does go on sheer, so three coats were completely necessary for me.
Zoya Verushka is one of my all time favorite matte polishes. Its a slightly steely evergreen with fine silver shimmer running all throughout it. This was my go to fall color, but trust me it's not just for fall. Throw a topcoat on this one, please!
Hold onto your balls! Didn't I tell you it would be great?! Simply adding a topcoat transforms this polish to an amazingly sparkly green with tons of shine. I love that I get two very different polishes in one bottle :)
China Glaze's Gussied Up Green is hands down my favorite forest green. Although, similar to Zoya Suvi, I find that Gussied Up Green looks "cleaner" in my opinion. I'm not sure if that makes sense, haha.
Well, from the looks of things I think I need some brighter greens! I've got a few more greens in my collection, but have yet to be photographed. I'll try and post my actual St. Patrick's Day mani later on!

I hit up Kmart yesterday for no real reason and found that they carry a decent amount of polishes. Sadly, the Milani's had all been picked over and there wasn't anything good in the random bin of OPI polishes that were there. OPI at Kmart? I know right? Here is one of the things I ended up purchasing...
This is a new Rimmel polish, Marine Blue. Apparently, the finish is supposed to last up to 10 days, but I doubt I'll be give it that much time :). I am loving this color quite a bit. It's a mid range blue color with a good amount of fine blue shimmer throughout the polish. I think this is a good choice for spring especially if you aren't into the cremes or pastels that have been released lately.
There are a few more colors in the collection, but the store I went to had none left in the display. I'll try and find them to post for you all.
Happy Friday as well! Any fun plans for the weekend?
