N.A.I.L Linkup: May - Emerald

Hello darlings!

This is my 300th post! Wow haha. Where has the time gone? I honestly didn't expect myself to be posting nearly as much as I do when I first started this blog. And I really wasn't expecting to hit 300 posts within my 1st year of doing this. Geez haha!

Anyways, onto the nails!

The design of these remind me of like a wrestler's mask or something and I have absolutely no idea why. I don't know why my head makes random and odd ball connections 95% of time but we're just going to go with it!

Here's what I used:

I'm not actually sure if this green is really an "emerald" green but it was the closet that I could find in my stash so I went for it!

These nails were actually inspired by a pair of shoes (here)! I know you're probably shocked that it wasn't another pattern! But I started with 2 coats of ELF's Pot Of Gold followed by a coat of Sinful Colors This Is It! I don't like the tone of the gold from the ELF polish and This Is It! is too sheer to reach full opacity, but I found layering them gave me the right look! Once that was dry, I placed my tape and applied the green polish!

I don't really know how I feel about the green and gold combo here. I think this design is nice but black polish would probably look better with the gold. It probably wouldn't look so mask-like to me either haha.

Here are the remaining themes for May:
