Close up of my Clover!
Gah! Can't believe I have nearly a year of weekly manicures. Time goes by so fast!
This is my first water marble and I'm quite pleased with it. The intent was to get a four leaf clover, and the first nail I did (thumb), has one! Beginner's luck, for sure! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Undies for the marble:
Brand: Revlon Top Speed
Color: Jade
Coats: 3
Application: sheer, streaky evened out kind of after third coat.
Finish: cream with hidden shimmer
Base Coat: Nail Quencher
Top Coat: Seche Vite
Wear: an hour before getting covered up. its underwear for my St.Pat's mani, had to have a photo!
Purchased From: Walgreen's
its definitely a peaceful, happy color! Reminds me of spring time and of calm waters. SH XW's mint that was released just recently is dead on dupe of this - though it was difficult to tell if the sh had shimmer. Perhaps the formula is better in that one!

I fought the battle with this polish and almost won! And yep, that's my right hand - it actually looks better than my left hand this time. I can't stop noticing the streaks so I'm covering this with Hidden Treasure. :D
