Not so secret admission: at some point during the last 6 1/2 years I've gone from being a little bit of a comic book geek to knowing all kinds of random things about Marvel comics (my guy's comic of choice). We've been to quite a few midnight movie showings in the last few years, and so far two this summer: The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises.
For the Avengers showing I tried out Captain America nails that didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, so no pictures, but I figured out where I went wrong I'm looking forward to trying those out again one of these days!
So when I did my nails in Sinful Colors' 'Rise and Shine' (which is an amazing green: not too bright but not forest colored: I have a hard time finding greens that go well with my skin!) and wanted to spice them up a bit I decide to go for a "Hulk" look. This picture shows a little bit of the gentle shimmer to the green.
I didn't want to go completely overboard with the purple, so I decided to do an accent nail in purple and blue glitter.
The glitter polish is a Wet n Wild Spoiled polish that I grabbed at CVS on an impulse (it was so sparkly)! I've tried it over a handful of different purple polishes, and liked the result each time, so it was time to try it over something else.
I think it came out lovely! And even with the sprinkle of blue Chris knew exactly who I was going for when he saw the mani!
