Let's Layer: Shamrockin' with Emilie

So I posted a while back about Huemorista Shamrockin' Green that Constantly Redone doted on me with. I was saddened by the polish since it wasn't as vibrant as the pictures had shown and was quite thin. The bottle is tiny and it's a gorgeous polish but with there being so little of it I feel hesitant to use it. Well when I got Julep Emilie a solution presented itself:

A single layer of Shamrockin' Green over a layer of Emilie brings the earthy green and the gorgeous glitter right out without having to use so much! It's pretty much perfect <3

I went ahead and did an accent nail though I can't remember the color (if you see the burn on my finger there and you've read my blog for awhile you'll know this manicure is month's old!). But I DO know that glitter. It's Copper Crunch by Brash which is hand's down one of my most favorite glitters. I think I'll be doing some more Let's Layer posts. My daughter loves to mix polish so I'll get her in on the action. Until next time!

P.S. My toddler is intentionally rolling off the couch, yelling OW, laughing hysterically, and then doing it all over again. What.a.boy.

Huemorista - I promised you GREEN - Shamrockin' Green

Pretty sure most of you are aware of the small and independent nail polish makers that are making their ways into our wishlists. The top two for me are Cult Nails and Huemorista. Now I've read some reviews on Huemorista so I knew to expect a tiny bottle (by the way this bottle comes compliments of Constantly Redone - my sister blogger - she's going to have more Huemorista swatches in the days to come).

Now I'm going to have to do a comparison because Shamrockin' Green in it's tiny bottle, glitter poppin' goodness appears to have a very similar color (minus glitter) to Zoya Irene. For now gaze at this beauty:

 Glitter! Taken with flash this is the color of this polish. Seriously. You NEED to plan your St. Patty's Day manicure around this one. Silky smooth application with a TON of glitter in green and gold flecks (not precisely fine, but not chunky either - just a nice in between).

Some sun and natural light here - sorry about the difference from my usual pictures - this was taken in the morning light before my workout as opposed to the afternoon like normal.

You can really get the effect of this polish in this picture - note that all of these are without topcoat. I wanted you to see how this polish looks when it applies.

Bottle size comparison. Now why would I chose to compare against this bottle....oh yeah I FOUND A HOLO DURING A DUSTY HUNT ADVENTURE WITH CONSTANTLY REDONE!!!! Well she found it, I grabbed it cause I realized it was FYI and she didn't want it. At SIX bucks I could not pass it up. Swatching to come.

Bottom line Huemorista makes unique polishes and is as liberal with the glitter as Deborah Lippman is. Little bottles of lovely to hoard away for those special manicures.
