Happy St. Patty's!

I found this on clearance at Ocean State Job Lot. I think it was from the Spring Gelatto collection, or something like that. It's a really vibrant emerald green with a little shimmer. It looks so happy in the bottle.
Unfortunately, it was sheer as all get out! This is like 4 coats and you can still see through it. This is day 3 so there is also some tip wear. I really wanted to like this, but I didn't care for it on my nails. Nor did I enjoy how sheer it was.

Now, THIS on the other hand is how green is done. China Glaze's Laser Lime from their new
Tronica Line. I found a full display at Sally's a couple weeks ago. I really want to go back and get a few more because these are great! I got this and Cyberspace.

BORGHESE - MEDITERRANEO SEA

This one looked interesting on the shelf. It's a pretty medium blue with blue and magenta glitter. It seems to go on matte? I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a matte polish. The above and below pictures are index finger with top coat and middle finger without.
Now, even with topcoat, the chunky, lumpiness of the glitter doesn't go away. I generally find that pretty annoying. But this was such an interesting looking color, that it's almost okay.

Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri in "Grape Going" I have heard this has been hard to find, but I was able to find it at Walgreen's. I didn't enjoy paying $4.99 for a drugstore polish, but this is such a cool color!
It's winter here in NY, so the light for taking photos hasn't been the best.

One thing I have to say about the Insta-Dri colors, the brushes SUCK. It's a really weird, stubby thing. Otherwise this was awesome.


The only other Borghese I have also has a really crappy brush. The one on Stellare Notte is fine though. This applied awesomely! It's looks so cool too. It shifts grey-blueish-purpleish-greenish. I think this is a Limited Edition shade from their "Fashionista" collection. I found it at Rite-Aid for (the highly offensive for a drugstore polish price of) $8.00.
