lemony layering combo

Hey!
here is another non vday mani lol...
I was going to swatch one of the L'Oreal polishes I had gotten, Tweet Me, but it turned out to be too sheer to wear on its own. So I layered!

Here I start with 2 coats of Orly Hook Up
direct sunlight

shade

Then I added 2 coats of L'Oreal Tweet Me

sunlight

sunlight

shade
A very cheerful combo!
Formula for Hook Up was great though the brush was smaller than usual
Hook up is a yellow/gold with a slightly frosty finish

I was hoping for more fun micro glitter in Tweet Me, though in the right light it is more evident
and you can see more than one color.

the green grasshopper hops gaily in the grass

like the title? i do ;) yesterday someone said this color reminded them of a grasshopper
not sure if i agree, but its a fun way to think about it :P

 today i have a Revlon scented polish, "Beach"
this polish does not remind me at all of the beach
and I've been to the beach a whole lot
here are the pics :
4 coats "beach"
one coat SV




Beach is a green-yellow with minimini sparkles that light up in the sun
unfortunately there isn't a sun in the sky at the moment :(
application was would have been perfect, in not for the SHEERNESS
as i said this is around 4-5 coats
unto the smell.....
it does smell slightly beach-ish but a little too on the sickly sweet side for me

then......
i did a konad on my nails and kinda epically failed



for that i used a special konad polish that appeared royal blue but on the nail you can it looks turquoise 
after that i decided to spice it up even more and add some random nail art


i don't know about you, but this deffinelty reminds me of a green grasshopper hopping gaily through the grass ( without the grasshopper hopping part) lol

happy thanksgiving ( in advance)!!!
