Thank you. The lighting makes it appear more yellow, but it's a lovely tan and matched the tan sweater that I was wearing perfectly....stunning, honey on boost!
It screems summer to me!!!!

This makes me want to get out my Nomad and wear it! But I have so many other nail polishes to go through, I'd feel guilty.Illamasqua Nomad. Unfortunately, the color isn't accurate. It looks turquoise/aqua in the pic, but it's really much more green. Like Granny Smith apple green.

Okay, so instead of buying more polish THIS month, I spent some time polishing my nails. This is Mottle, which I love. Now to create an eye look that compliments the nails.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm also in for the green challenge and have a head start with Nomad.
Med, Mottle looks so pretty. I only have Nomad and Mottle. Naughty, I'll shop from your wishlist. Those are great choices.
SPECKTRA PSA (Polish Service Announcement)
OK, Gilt.com is having another Deborah Lippmann polish sale. Who isn't a member of Gilt.com that wants some Lippmann polishes? You can get $25 off your first order with a referral, then I'll get $25 off my order. You could get about $80 worth of polishes for only $24. Any takers? These things sell out fast. I need a Deborah Lippmann fix! Lol, this is so sad.

I joined Gilt several months ago, otherwise I would have taken you up on the referral offer the first time around. Crying in my soup!
Love the PSA

Oh, crap! Wish I had known this a week ago! They seem to ship internationally (no idea of the shipping fee though). I ordered On the Beach on Monday, and it seems to be in many sets, or 1-2 of something else I already have. Except in the set already sold out.
Ok, back to the Green March theme: I'm starting with Hare's Asteroid Turf. It had an odd texture, kind of stiky. The application was more stippling than storking. It evened out just fine though.

I love both green polishes u ladies used
I was pulling out all my greens yesterday. whoa! there is a lot!! lol I really got into blues and greens the last couple months. I used to be more into bright pinks and purples ( still am lol) but I just love all colors so much! lol
one thing I'm trying to decide on is yellow np. I only have one ( Loreal.haven't tried it yet). I have BL Jasper and Zoya Piaf on my wishlist I don't know if I need both? :/ anyone have any thoughts about either one?

this reminds me of The ninja turtles for some reason lol!!Lovely haul! That Illamasqua Caress reminds me of the orders Royal Mail destroyed. I have still not received mine (ordered January 12th) but it should be on it's way. Caress was one of the discounted shades (no longer available) but I did not get it.
Accurate or not, it still looks lovely. I have not worn illamasqua for a while so I can't remember any difficulties. The base coat might have to do something with it though. Ever since I've been using Essie Ridge Filler, I don't remember having much bubbles.
Love! Can't wait to get mine! I'm planning to wear if before Easter for a green & egg theme.

Not green, but close! And mint always works, doesn't it?
I was fed up with the stickers. They hold up quite well, but I experienced some serious shrinkage which left the tips of nearly all my nails exposed. Maybe I'll have to practice apllying them more, because I've the feeling that I pulled them too straight while I applied them. Maybe that's the reason for the shrinkage.
Anyways, I already told y'all that I don't like shatter polish, but I really like the result of a shatter polish applied with a sponge. I saw that at a blog and decided to try it, and it's love.
You can see the effect a bit better here:
EDIT: I took the pics pre-cleanup. SORRY!

Thank you!
I just took a new Scotch Brite sponge and cut some little pieces off the softer side. On the first hand I applied new polish on the sponge for every nail, but on the second hand I just used one dipped sponge for every nail and it actually turned out better. It's also a very quick attempt at nail art, because it's so easily done with things you have at home.

Thank you for the detailed explanation, Anneri
Whew, that sounds difficult to me
But I am tempted to try it!
