Simple Spring Combo

Somewhere on this planet, it is spring. I swear. Maybe not here, maybe not where you are...but its gotta be. Right? All the tv/magazine/internet machines tell me so. They are trying to force feed buckets full of pastels and sheers and shorts and things-that-I-don't-want to us constantly as of late, and the only reason must be the changing seasons. Spring is my least favorite, color-wise. 99% of these floofy colors look like ass on me. I decided to dig around in my stash, and see if I could possibly make a spring-fling-icure that I could live with.

screw you guys. I like filters

Colors Used:

Essie Turquoise and Caicos

Octopus Party Solar Powered

the color of this bottle makes my camera sad

I used two coats of Solar Powered over two coats of the Turquoise and Caicos. I really like how the gray of Solar Powered muted the pastel-ishness of the aqua green. I wish that I could capture how amazingly sparkly this is. Its like tiny, tasteful discoballs on my fingers.

Let me just say, for the record, that I hate this Essie polish. For me, a lot of them are hit-or-miss anyway. This one, though...ugh. misery. I only used two thin coats, but to cover the nail line (and the streaks) I probably could have done another two. Thankfully, the OPNL polish hid most of the misery with shiny bits of awesome. I had originally wanted to use Tudor City Teal, from NYC. It has been lost in my disaster of a closet kidnapped by trolls. I forgot how much I hated this Essie, and I figured it would be a good substitute. I regret that decision now.
