Hi all! This time I decided to just go for a really simple manicure. But what's the use of a simply manicure if you aren't gonna be distracted by the color eh? To solve this I decided to Glitter Gal's 3D Holographic polish in green.
Now I have to admit, when I first put it on I was a little bit disappointed at how light that green is. But look!
You can quite literally see rainbows on my nails. I find that pretty awesome. :) It took me three thin coats to get to this. Which is not bad, considering how thinly I put my polish on ><
Here's a slightly darker picture so you can see just how un-green it is.
It doesn't even matter to me now whether it's truly green or not, it's just so pretty, I forgive it for being so not green it's almost silver. Still love it muchly.
So, what do you have on your nails at the moment? Anything flashy or are you going through a pastel phase? Let me know! Once again, I've opened up a shop (that's still a Facebook page) go give it some love here. I'm hosting a giveaway that's available to all countries at the moment, so go check it out and why not just go try your luck? :)
If you look carefully you'll notice there's a little peel on my index finger...it hurts. Looks like I won't be removing the nail polish anytime soon unless I want to feel like my finger is on fire :/ I might put up some sketches heh. Till next time, Byee~
Doing my nails is a hobby of mine. From time to time I do something that I am extremely proud of. Anything to do with nails will be chronicled here.

Nubar duo chromes, Glitter Gal 3D Holos and Konading fun!
Hi all!
In the previous post I mentioned that I have bought new nail polish and I can't wait to show all of you! Recently I have discovered a local retailer of quality nail products, she owns an online shop called Mei Mei's Signatures, and she offers Glitter Gal nail polish as well as Nfu Oh's top coats. It's awesome!
Ok so having discovered her shop, I decided to get myself some holographic nail polish. I'm not gonna lie, it did cost a pretty penny but it was a gift from Mr Meep. So..YEY!
Let's move on to the good stuff. I bought two duo chromes from Nubar, Wildlife and Purple Beach, and two 3D Holographic nail polish from Glitter Gal, in Deep Purple and Green. Now I sorta made a mistake at buying Green from the 3D Holo collection, I really wanted a deep green and this looked more like a silver than anything else. But if you look at the swatches, the rainbow holo shows up really well on the silvery surface. Who can complain with holos like these!?
When I got my package I was so excited that I immediately applied all the colours onto my two hands. The above photo is Nubar duo chromes and the below photo is Glitter Gal's 3D holos. Look at the mini rainbows in Glitter Gal's polishes! The only complain I have about the Nubar duo chromes is that it really is only one colours, except when you put your fingers at different angles. I bought Wildlife for the beautiful olive green, really, but usually all I see is the copper. It is still wonderful to apply though :)
And here are two angled photos of Wildlife. See what I mean about the wonderful olive green? If only it's like this most of the time. You can see the copper at the lower part of the nail.

Since you can't really see what the duochrome color is, here are two angled photos of Purple Beach, it's a mixture of a deep grey-green with purple (which you can see at the lower part of the nail).
And here are two angled photos of Wildlife. See what I mean about the wonderful olive green? If only it's like this most of the time. You can see the copper at the lower part of the nail.
I had this mani for about a week and I was really reluctant to remove them cos it was just so pretty! So I jazzed it up with Konad plate M57's zebra print!
Here it is with the Nubar duo chromes :)
