A pretty pale mint green dress with silver sequins from Lipsy was my choice to attend a wedding, and I thought I would give myself a manicure to match.
I first thought of contrast, but then decided to go with several cold colours and a sprinkle of glitter to glam it up!
Most of the nail polishes I used are from Nails Inc; the lilac (Cambridge), the blue (Oxford) and the lime (Wimbledon). The green is Anna Hickmann in Vibe and the pale mint green (which is a perfect match for my dress) is H&M in Pear Ice cream.
Have to say that for being creamy colours, all of them were easy to apply and two coats were enough for the a solid finish. I had tried the blue and both greens before, and they didn’t disappoint. The lilac one bubbled a bit, that was annoying; but as it was in the corner of the nail, it didn’t bother me as much as it would normally.
The lime colour is stunning; I must wear it again soon,alone, need to come up with something interesting to use in more extensively!
Then I applied the glitter puff – I am in love with them! This time I used the silver again, but not on the tips but near the cuticles, as I used the gold a couple of weeks back. I am having to hold myself now to buy a bigger set from eBay, damn, they can glam up any manicure!

I really love the pastel colors and the glitter. I’m not clear on the type of glitter used is it a polish or is it some kind of adhesive? Painting different tones on each finger looks very fun I’ll have to try it some time.

HI Jeanette
The glitter is not a polish, it is Andrea Fullerton’s Georgia Glitter Duo, a set with two glitter puff dusts (gold and silver holo) and a topcoat, so I apply on top of still wet polish – I explained how on the this post, when I first used it: https://somanylovelythings.com/2012/05/28/nails-of-the-week-blue-and-glitter-tips/ and this is what the gold looks like: https://somanylovelythings.com/2012/06/11/nails-of-the-week-red-and-gold-glitter/
eBay also has some sets with several colours, I find the little bottle the Andrea Fullerton one comes in quite easy to use, as it puffs the glitter over the nail; not sure how I would manage with glitter from pot, it would certainly be messier!
I have really enjoyed painting my nails different colour lately, if you have time, check these posts, for multicoloured nails: https://somanylovelythings.com/2012/06/07/nails-of-the-week-warm-tones-with-gold-french-manicure/ and https://somanylovelythings.com/2012/04/24/nails-of-the-week-multicoloured-french-manicure/
