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.

    1. They 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:)

  2. That'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
