Finger Paints A Tough Art to Follow with Pure Ice Heartbreaker.

This is the first of my green manicures for St. Patrick's Day.  It is Finger Paints A Tough Art to Follow topped with one coat of Pure Ice Heartbreaker.  Click the link to see a picture of A Tough Art to Follow alone.  Heartbreaker is a sheer turquoise with green microglitter.  My picture doesn't show it, but it made my nails positively glow.  I looked like I lived in the Emerald City. 

Dot Pyramid

This is Finger Paints Go Van Go with dots of Finger Paints A Tough Art to Follow, Wet 'n Wild Megalast Garden Hose, and Rimmel Rags to Riches.  I think the base color, Go Van Gogh, is pretty close to the Pantone color of the year, emerald.  Pantone predicts (and possibly causes) color trends.  I wouldn't be surprised if you see a lot of emerald polish this fall/winter, maybe even this summer since their emerald is a bright color.  Rags to Riches is the bottom center dot of my manicure.  I should have just used the dark green polish for that dot because Rags to Riches doesn't go with the other colors. Next time.

Finger Paints A Tough Art to Follow

This is Finger Paints A Tough Art to Follow.  I was hoping for a very dark green.  Sort of a green version of navy.  This is a nice color, but it is black and not green in many lighting conditions.  This is a common problem when looking for a very dark version of a color.  Oh well.  Here are some bonus pics of me testing glitters on top of this polish (and a little house paint).
