NAIL ART: Leafy Green Summer Smoosh Mani
Keep reading for more!
For this mani, I started with OPI's This Isn't Greenland - a long time favorite polish of mine that I wish I had gotten a backup of because it's starting to get low - on all of my nails. On the pointer and pinkie fingers, I also added a second coat for full opacity.
For the smoosh, I applied dots of This Isn't Greenland along with Essie's Taxi Hopping and Color Club French Tip and Martian Martian Martian. I always find it strange when I choose colours for a smoosh because I never know how they're going to mesh, but I feel like this combination worked to give me exactly what I was looking for.
Of course, I'm me so I had to add some stamping and I reached for my Born Pretty Store BP-L076 stamping plate and used this tropical leaves image along with Clear Jelly Stamper Lush Leaf Stamping Polish and I love the depth it gives to the whole mani.
I finished with a generous coat of Seche Vive Quick Dry Top Coat on all of my nails and voila!
