Sinful Colors Cast Away - Olympia

Today I'd like to share with you a gorgeous combo for Spring - Sinful Colors Olympia topped with CND Effects in Emerald Shimmer. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of just Olympia; this particular shade of green, although one of my favorites, doesn't look great with my skin tone. I hear that SC Olympia is a dupe for Essie Navigate Her, but I don't have that one to compare. These photos represent two coats of Olympia with 1 coat of CND Emerald Shimmer; all were taken outdoors in sunlight.

What do you think of this Spring-y combo? I didn't care for Olympia on its own (on me) but I think the shimmer adds a special touch and definitely improves the appearance with my skin tone!

Key Lime Shine

06/04/11 - Milani Key Lime Shine is a discontinued color I've been wanting to try for a while. I really like it! It's a muted grey green with a very pretty shimmer.

Toss Me A LIFESAVERS

05/27/11 - This pretty, fun, summery color is Wet N Wild Shine Toss Me A LIFESAVERS. It's, well, lime green. :) But it also has a faint bluish-green shimmer which is really quite pretty! 

You know I like to change it up, so I added Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada over the top.

Party time! :)

Gilding the Lily

5/3/11 - I discovered a brand I hadn't tried before at Rite Aid, CQ. This is CQ Golden Green. I really like it. It's very, very close to Borghese Euro Green, but significantly less rough on the pocketbook. :) 

Seeing Green

 

 Today's mani is a Sally Girl mini called Text Me. I can't get enough of this gorgeous green, so I took lots of pics! It's soooo glossy and shiny!

Wearing O' The Green

3/17/11 - Here are some pics of my St. Patrick's Day mani! I used three coats of Sinful Colors Call You Later. I love this color! Thanks to the lack of sunlight in Washington State, the pics don't show how sparkly it truly is!
