Hello Everyone!
TGIF!!! I didn't have a particularly hard week but, for some reason, Friday just always feels good. Any interesting plans for the weekend? If anyone plans on paying your local movie theatre a visit, I would have to recommend Mama. As I mentioned in another post, I LOVE horror movies. Not the gory, blood and guts kind but the creepy, unsettling, what does this ghost want?!? kind. Mama was the latter! There were no cheap thrills and there was actually a plot! Surprise, surprise! I saw it Wednesday with my husband and a few friends and, let me tell you, we were entertained. Earlier this year, Pantone announced that emerald would be their 2013 Color of the Year. Today I have 2 swatches to showcase the light and dark side of emerald. I present to you Essie Trophy Wife and OPI Cuckoo for this Color!!!

Trophy Wife is a beautiful emerald with the perfect hint of blue and a nice pearly finish. The formula was great, not too thin or thick. I reached perfect opacity with just 2 coats.

Cuckoo for this Color is a gorgeous shimmer on the darker side of the emerald spectrum. This polish is filled with blue micro-glitter that gives it a beautiful shine under sunlight! The formula was also a dream and easy to work with. Absolutely loved this one. I used just 2 coats here.
Hope you all enjoyed the post especially if you're thinking of following Pantone's lead. On my nails I will be wearing whatever tickles my fancy at the moment! Are there any other emerald you can recommend?
Comment and let me know! Thank you for reading!

both are pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
DeleteI personally prefer the Essie shade because it's a bit more blue-green. Personal preference though, both are on trend!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! The blue-green definitely shines through a lot more in the Essie shade. For OPI's Cuckoo for this Color, the blue-green seems to show mostly under direct sunlight.
