Nail of the Day: China Glaze Jolly Holly

Natural Light


Flash

China Glaze Jolly Holly from 'Tis The Season To Be Naughty And Nice Collection, Holiday 2010

Is that collection name the longest you've ever seen? It certainly is a mouthful!

Oh how I love this shade. It's the most perfect shimmery forest green I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Not only is it beautiful but the quality is superb too. Yes it is a "festive" polish but look how pretty it is!! I'm just pleased that I've finally found a green that doesn't make my hands look either super red or bright yellow!

I've been wanting Illamasqua Rampage for ages, mostly because MissChievous from Youtube has been wearing it a ton recently. That one is a jelly polish but is a similar colour to the China Glaze. Good enough for me, saves me some pennies :)

I did three coats, as always, but this could seriously be a one-coater. The first coat was slightly lighter than the shade above, the perfect Oz green in my opinion. Three coats just intensified the colour and depth of shimmer. One downside, of course, is this came out over a year ago and I'm not entirely sure of it's availability. Such a shame.

What's your favourite festive polish you gravitate towards year round?

    1. In fairness that was my crappy photography skills if anything. The shimmer shows up better in natural light than it appears in the photo. It gives it more depth and bling lol! I loves it :)
