Grassy Green with Gold Flakes

Hi hi! This is two coats of Julep Leah (which is a fantastic shimmery grass green) topped with one coat of Essie As Gold As It Gets. I am amazed at the quality of Julep's polishes. They are pricey (unless you are a Julep Maven, like me), but the quality is really great. The color is a bit brighter in real life. I love this gold flake topcoat from Essie's LuxEffects collection. I am excited to try it over other colors. This manicure reminded me of some sort of Asian pottery. Jade with gold leaf or something.

Wicked Sweet - Flakie Remix

Same manicure from the last post, but I added two coats of Nubar 2010! I also applied two coats of Essie Matte About you, and you'll see that in some of the pictures below! Spoiler alert: It's awesome.

China Glaze Japanese Koi (two coats) topped with Zoya Tanzy (two coats), all topped off with Essie Matte About You topcoat (you guessed it, two coats). Dried flowers are from Born Pretty Store, and I attached them with Orly Top 2 Bottom topcoat.

Here come the pictures!
