30 Mani Marathon - Manicure 4: Green Nails

The 4th task in the 30 Mani Marathon is Green Nails.

To represent Green Nails, I chose to create Melty Chocolate Mint Chip Waffle Cones! I began with a base coat, two coats of a chocolate brown Color Club that isn't labeled, and a coat of Dreams Nail Lacquer top coat. I used China Glaze Below Deck, and Bundle Monster plate BM-315 to create the waffle cone design. I topped that with a layer of Hard Candy Matte top coat to give the 'cones' a dull look that would contrast with the 'ice cream' drips.

Next, I used a large size dotting tool and China Glaze Re-fresh Mint to create the mint green drips, and added a thin layer of Dreams top coat to the mint green only. Then, I used a flat nail art brush to dab small amounts of Lush Lacquer Salt n Peppa over the green to create the 'chips' or 'sprinkles'. Finally, I added a layer of Gelous Advanced Gel top coat to the green drips only.

Today I am wearing a polish I received in one of my June Birchboxes, Color Club London Calling.

I began with a base coat, added two coats of London calling, and then a layer of top coat. I then used Bundle Monster stamping plate BM-312 and Konad black stamping polish to create the grass-like design.

After giving the stamps a few minutes to dry, I finished with another layer of top coat to seal the design and protect the stamp.

Señor Flippy Flop

Today's manicure began with two coats of Reign In Spain, from my June Birchbox and a layer of Seche Vite top coat.

 To that I added two different flip flop stamps. There is an all-over flip flop stamp on the ring finger and thumb, and a pair of flip flops on every other nail. 

The stamps are from Bundle Monster stamping plate BM-309, and stamped with Konad special black stamping polish.

After waiting a bit for the stamps to dry, I finished the manicure with a final coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Bonus points if you know which TV show is being referenced with the name of this manicure :)

Neon Green + Spring-y Stamping

Here, I have added a little spring-y stamping over my existing neon green manicure. No sun at my house today, but you can get a better feel for the bright green from my last post :)

Neon Green Color Club (Limelight?)

For my next Green manicure, I chose this Color Club that I've had for a while and had not yet tried. The color is a bright neon green, but I don't know the name. It came in a set of other bright colors from Ross. It is a vivid, neon lime green, and dries matte. If you have any idea what the name of this polish is, please let me know! :)

*Someone has mentioned that this could be Lime Light, looks pretty close to me!*
