Hare Hooky at the Hamlet/emerald birthstone mani

Hi everyone! Sorry for not posting in awhile- I do have a few pictures leftover from before my awkward nail break, so I'll try to get caught up ASAP.

Have you ever based a manicure around one color beause you like it so much? That is what I did with HARE polish Hooky at the Hamlet. I was so happy when it was finally back in stock at Llarowe.

I did make it slightly darker by layering it over an Ozotic multichrome. Check here to see the original color (it's a lovely cyan on its own)

If memory serves correctly, my thumb and pinky nail are HITS chameleon, my wonky index finger was one of the new HITS multichrome holos (I have Super Cute and Sweet Dreams) and the middle finger was one I was very excited to get from a group- Green Peace on Earth by Enchanted.

I also was using an excuse to wear lots of green nail polish because my birthday was last month. I'm really loving emerald (my birthstone) being the color of the year this year- although I know my ring finger and the darker flashes on my thumb and pinky are the only emerald looking ones this time.

Skittles and Accidental Rainbow Nails

These are the first swatches I have been brave enough to show anybody,

The first is a.. sort of skittles inspired by the very nice followgashin. Here is a link to the great mani that she did.

From left to right I used:
Essie Dive Bar as a base color. My pointer finger and pinky are layered with Girly bits Cosmic Ocean. My ring finger has Hits Cutie Pie, with another layer of Ozotic 903 to add some sparkle.

My middle finger has Zoya Zuza on it. So does my thumb.

A few days later, I created an accidental rainbow!


I had Zoya Zuza on my thumb, and was trying a rainbow foil for the first time. I had no idea what I was doing but I ended up with some cool rainbows left behind.

Welcome to my first swatching adventure and thanks for reading!
