Green Up Ahead

 
Green nails is a trend you either love or you hate, and personally I enjoy wearing a lot of green on my nails all year round.  Chatreuse is probably my most favoured shade of green (both in eyeshadow and in nail shades!) so OPI’s Did It On ‘Em from the Nicki Minaj collection is a definite favourite of mine. A gift from fellow blogger Melissa, the shade is bright and opaque, and definitely stands out! I know a lot of people (Melissa included!) found that this didn’t flatter their hands, but the shade makes me smile so I don't mind that it is a bit, well, strange.
 
For most people, shimmery green shades make the colour more wearable, but I tend to prefer crème finishes when I head into Shrek territory. Ulta3’s Lagoon is a shimmery spring appropriate shade that I can see working on a wide variety of skin tones.  Nicole by OPI’s Lemon-Lime Twist, on the other hand, is a bit too light for my skin and I think it would look bangin’ on a darker skin tone.
 
Saving the best for last, I present the oh-so-beautiful OPI Green-wich Village to you all. Numero Uno for my MIL, this is a repurchase after she smashed her first bottle while cleaning one day. The kelly-green-esque shade really takes my breath away, and I find it incredibly flattering on my skintone, as well as on the slightly deeper skintone of my man’s Mumma. It glides on effortlessly, looks great and is one of the most, if not the very most wearable green I know of.
 
Which of these shades is juiciest to you? Are you a lemon-lime gal, or set on taking a trip to a village called Greenwich?

A Bright, Nicki Minaj inspired look

Chris was sweet and bought us tickets to the recent Nicki Minaj Melbourne tour, and I decided to brighten it up for the night! I went for a bright lemon and lime inspired look with a dramatic winged liner, with MAC''s Viva Glam Nicki to really contrast with it.
I love the way the eyes are really bright, and though this photo isn't the most flattering (thanks iPhone!) I think it shows how much the colours really popped against my pale skin.
