Lately I have been on a green color kick.  I guess I’m still in the St. Patrick’s Day mood.

The polishes I used for this manicure are China Glaze – Unpredictable, Pure Ice – Draped In Satin, and NYX – Enchanted Forest.

China Glaze – Unpredictable is a lovely combination of blue/green/gold/teal duochrome.  Application was wonderful. I wish I had done this manicure completely using this color rather than using it as an accent finger.  For the rest of my fingers I used Pure Ice – Draped In Satin.  It is a metallic white, which almost comes across silvery.  Application was a nightmare.  The formula was very streaky.  I tried applying three thin coats, then two thicker coats but had the same results. It was very disappointing.  

To cover up the streakiness of Pure Ice – Draped In Satin I decided to use NYX – Enchanted Forest.  I fell in love with this polish when I saw it.  I thought it would be great for layering.  It is a jelly based polish packed with different size green glitters.  Application was nice and I was able to get the big hexi glitter pieces without having to fish around for them, which was great.

Overall I thought this manicure was a bit of a fail.  I loved how China Glaze – Unpredictable and NYX – Enchanted Forest looked and applied but didn’t like how the combination of Pure Ice – Draped In Satin looked with NYX – Enchanted Forest; not to mention the application issues I had with Pure Ice – Draped In Satin.  Live and learn for the next time.
