NOTD: Emerald Green
This is one of the nail varnishes from one of the Clubworks set I got from my secret Santa at work. I went for this colour as I had recently heard about how the Pantone colour for 2013 is emerald green. My camera really made the colours go funny so I added a couple to try and show the true colour, the best ones are those in the middle.
It isn't completely opaque and has a sort of semi-jelly finish and it applied quite well considering it would have been quite cheap. I used two coats for these photos.
I didn't find that it lasted very well but I went to work the day after applying it which is really tough on my nails, and then over the next few days it peeled off half a nail at a time! However, again, considering the whole set (6 plus nail file and stickers) probably wouldn't have cost more than £4 I think it's not too bad.
I am going to do swatches of all the colours in the set on a nail wheel very soon.

This is so pretty :) What do you mean by pantone colour? x
ReplyDeleteThey document all (well, maybe not all lol) the colours and have codes for them so you can reference them easily for fashion and interior design etc! I've sent you a link on twitter:)
DeleteThat's lovely, I couldn't cope with the peeling though I'm terrible for picking off bits once they've started! Still for that price it's tempting! x x
