Make Mine Midori

How's *that* for some alliteration?  LOL  Good Wednesday, Kitschies!  I hope you're making it through your work week without too much trouble.  It's been another busy day in the neighborhood.  I'm tellin ya - this EMR program is going to be the death of me!  Once we get it all set up the way the docs want, it'll be fine - I know it will.  But in the meantime, do you know how many times the docs come up to me on a daily basis because they want me to fix this or tweak that?  So tiring!  I told one of the docs this morning that I was going to install an invisible fence in the hall so he couldn't come down and talk to me about the program any more.  How mean am I?

I got tons of awesome stuffs for Christmas.  Some of those stuffs were nail polish.  And not just *any* nail polish...Zoya nail polish!  My mom cashed in on the Color Lock System promotion and picked up some of my lemming colors.  I threw two of them together for this mani.

These beauties are Midori and Tallulah.  They're so, so pretty!!  Midori is a "glowing medium apple green with yellow undertones and strong gold shimmer".  Yep.  Spot on description, Zoya.  And Tallulah is a "medium electric cobalt blue with fine bright aqua shimmer".  Now, this one, I don't completely agree with.  I'd definitely call it electric blue, but when I think of cobalt blue, I think of a deeper, richer blue.  Either way, it's a gorgeous color. 

This was my first (of 3!) zebra stripe manis I did within the span of about a week.  I wore this mani for New Years.  I didn't do anything exciting other than playing Beatles RockBand with the hubs to ring in the new year, but it was fun to have bright nails anyway.

This pic was taken indoors with flash.  Look at all that gold shimmer with the green!!  You can even see the blue/teal shimmer in the blue.  LOVE!

Both of these colors just glow!  I got quite a few compliments with this mani.  The one thing I would do differently next time is to stick with the black acrylic paint for the stripes.  The white was just a little too stark for my liking.

Outdoors in direct, bright sun.  These colors are really more summery, but if you're like me, you're ready for a bit of spring!  The weather here in NM has been really nice for the last week, but of course we're going to be back in the 30s tomorrow.  *shiver*

So...what do you think?  Are Midori and Tallulah keepers?  I was afraid I wouldn't like the green but that gorgeous gold shimmer just makes it for me.
