Nina Ultra Pro Mossy Britches

These pictures do not do this green justice! I'm gonna have to go outside in natural light more often. 
The problem is that I live on a main road, so I look like a total creeper to all the passersby hahaha.
Green with gold shimmer, 2 coats.

It's this dingy green in the bottle, but still manages to be flattering (in my eyes at least). 
Here's to stepping out of my comfort zone and trying crazy colors!

American Apparel Malibu Green

I am on an American Apparel kick right now, I promise I own more than this one brand! However, Malibu Green is a keeper for sure.

It's leaning much more blue in this picture, this green is like a richer Crayola sea green marker. 
So beautiful in real life! I also gave myself a pedicure with this but I've got a complex about toes so I won't be plastering them on the site anytime soon.

Opaque in two coats, but I added a third. This is with topcoat. The only downside to such a great pigmented polish is that it stained my nails, thank goodness I had a basecoat on!

I did try to konad this, but my white polish was not working at all. I may be caving in and buying the konad white polish eventually.

Next post will be OPI "My Chihuahua Bites", my first foray into corals.

American Apparel Hunter (with a dash of Konad)

This green is soooo nice! It's just like the forest green Crayola crayon. Application was smooth as usual, and I actually did a decent job with the stamp! Woot!

The stamp is harder to see in real life because the polish is so dark. It's the awesome leaf design, I'll definitely use it again with my light green polish. Maybe Hunter for the base and the light green for the veins?

I am still not ready to shell out six bucks for a "special konad polish" when Claire's and Wet 'n Wild's black does the job. (Plus WNW is 99 cents at the grocery store.) (Icing Chip Resistant Base/Top Coat, Claire's "Black Hole")

That bottle cap is covered with blue polish from a marbling escapade. I had polish all over my legs as well. But it looked great, which is the whole point!

While I do love this color, it's a bit darker in real life and I feel like it would look much nicer if I were formally dressed. Is that weird considering it's American Apparel?
