HAPPY ENDING/SHEER LUCK/HD NAILS/GREEN OCEAN/SAN FRANCISCO/CALL YOU LATER (SINFUL COLORS/PURE ICE)

Note: I applied this polish on March 12th and took the photos on the 13th. These photos were taken with my camera (normally I use my phone).

I wanted to do a St. Patrick's day mani like I had done last year. I ended up using 3 greens and 3 glitters just because I could not decide which ones to use. All of the polishes were Sinful Colors polishes except for, 'Sheer Luck', which is a Pure Ice polish.

On my pinky and index finger I had on Happy Ending with Sheer Luck.

On my ring finger and thumb I had on HD Nails with Green Ocean.

On my middle finger I had on San Francisco with Call You Later.

All of the base coats were 2 coats except for San Francisco. That one is my favorite since it is a great dark green and it is a one coater. Best Dollar Tree find, ever! The other two were a little thin but the 2nd coat really filled them out. The glitters were all one coat. Sheer Luck and Call You Later are great smaller sized glitters with gold in them. Perfect for the holiday. Green Ocean had more chunky pieces in it which looked different depending on the lighting. They are kind of holographic looking. In certain lightings, it looked like chunks of polish were missing which, at first, alarmed me since I thought that I had managed to chip my polish off quickly!

See? Looks sort of weird.

My camera had a hard time capturing the true colors with the glitter. It just kept bouncing off of the lighting in my room and I didn't think to go outside to capture it until it was chipped enough to look ick. Fail!

Dry time was about average for a Sinful Colors brand, perhaps a little quicker than normal. The wear time was pretty normal as well. Overall I am giving this mani a 5 out of 6 stars. The greens may not have gone well together but it was pretty and the glitters went well together, minus the Green Ocean. Next time I will stick to the tiny glitters to match the others.
