Where in the World Challenge: Colombia

#20 Colombia: There are 2 things that stand out to me about Colombia: for one, they have the legend of El Dorado & secondly they are know for being responsible for more than 60% of the World's Emeralds. Why do I love this? Well, I'm born in the month of May so emerald is my birthstone & El Dorado? well, who doesn't love a legend about a city of gold, what an awesome treasure hunt that would be!

So I thought a combination of gold & emerald would make a beautiful mani, what do you think?

I used OPI's Goldeneye & Nubar Greener to get this very simple but very gorgeous color combo look:

St. Patrick 2013

Just a short blog, with a St. Patty's day nail design. I got the idea of the lines from string/line art I used to do as a kid where you take a board & hammer nails into it & you pair up the nails by tying string creating a shape, or you draw dots on paper & pare them up using a ruler. They have earrings made like this now & I always think they look so pretty.

Anyways, I used Nubar Reclaim as my base on all but the ring fingers, for them I used OPI my Boyfriend scales walls. I then made some alternating green & orange lines (to reflect the Irish flag) & a very simple 4 leaf clover.

Hope y'all had fun over the weekend, I leave you now with an Irish Prayer:

May God grant you always

A sunbeam to warm you, 

A moonbeam to charm you.

A sheltering angel

So nothing can harm you...

Laughter to cheer you, 

Faithful friends near you, 

And whenever you pray,

Heaven to hear you.

Nubar Greens for 2013

2013 is going to be a good year for me, you know how I know? Green is the fashion color of the year, emerald is my birthstone, therefore this is my year & that's that, lol! But seriously, how wonderful is green polish? I'm always finding myself drawn to greens, whether they are light, dark, bright or muted it's such a beautiful color to play with & I'm so excited to show some new greens I bought just for this.

First up we have a stunning Nubar holographic green called Reclaim. Wow, just amazing, so rich & full of holographic perfection, I can't stop staring at my nails. 

Next up we have another Nubar called Greener which is a deep emerald green, absolutely stunning, I'm in love:
