It’s been ages since my last NOTD post as I’m trying out a new cuticle balm so I’ve been giving my nails a rest. And trying to take decent pictures of anything has been a nightmare with the rubbish weather. Anyway Jealous Much is a cool light green creme from the Orly Cool Romance Collection.
I have to say that I found this quite sticky to apply and it took longer to dry than most of my other nail polishes. However once it’s on it stays on and I didn’t have any chips for a week. This is two coats but next time I apply it I will use three to get complete opaqueness because of the ridgy texture on my nails. I think this would probably look better on slightly tanned skin compared to my pasty mitts but I do love the colour though, as it’s similar to the lighter shades of green in my blog theme.
I’ve never tried Orly before so if there are any other colours that you think I should have a look let me know in the comments!

Is it Spring yet? Really I’ve had enough of grey skies and cold weather and I’m sure anyone else in the UK will agree with me. Now yellow nail polish isn’t something I wear a lot of but I really liked the idea of it with gold and low and behold I had some gold glitter in my nail polish box!
Sinful Colors ‘All About You’ was purchased in my native US at Rite Aid and I love it! Dries quickly and goes on smoothly too. Barry M ‘Lemon Ice Cream’ was part of my Barry M craze last summer and I’ve not used it since I bought it oops!
This is two coats of Barry M and unfortunately this has serious cuticle drag so you probably need about three coats if you want total opaqueness. I also put on two coats of Sinful Colors, it didn’t need it but I was feeling greedy.
So what do you think of my gold fingers? What nail polishes are you wearing now?
I don’t know about you but I’ll be happy to see the back of winter – it feels like it’s been going on forever. Having said that, the snow here in Nottingham coupled with sunshine has made it a great day to take photos.
So I was going through my stash the other day and I remembered that I bought some KIKO shades in Paris and it occurred to me that 346 looks similar to Model’s Own Grace Green. And you know there is only one scientific way to see if they are dupes – paint your nails and take bazillion photos!
This is two coats of each and it’s clear that Grace Green is a notch or two lighter than 346. These would also be good for a leopard, ombre, or camouflage mani. I know there is a real buzz about KIKO especially now that we can get the goods here in UK shops and online. I think they are going to give other brands a run for the their money, they’ve got some great shades of nail polish and makeup along with being very affordable.
Tell me what KIKO shades have you fallen in love with!
