Just in time for St. Patty's Day, the homie Debbie blessed a sista with the very hard-to-find Sinful Colors Green Ocean! It's been on my polish wish list since seeing Enamel Girl use it in a look of hers:
Green Ocean is a gorgeous blue/green flakey glitter polish. The shade is supposed to be part of the St. Patrick's Day display at a number of drugstores, but of course, it's sold out or just plain not sold at all everywhere I checked. In terms of its finish and price point (a very purchase-worthy $1.99), Green Ocean is reminiscent of the uber-popular Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, which I also was never able to find on shelves. I was able to find a dupe for it on eBay though: Nubar's 2010
, which I'm currently wearing on my toes between a base color of Nicole by OPI The Grape Debate
and Nicole by OPI Pitch-Black Glimmer as a top coat:
Rainbow flakes, glitter, and purple?! Oh my 
Green Ocean is like the turquoise version of Hidden Treasure. Though it looks very green in the bottle, when applied the color pulls more blue. Here, I used 3 coats of it over Sinful Colors Black on Black
:
I had no problems with application. The flakes in Green Ocean are bigger and chunkier than those in my Nubar 2010 and the formula is thick and almost gel-like in its consistency, but none of this makes the polish difficult to work with. The formula dries rough to the touch, which is typical of most glitter polishes. Nothing a couple coats of Seche Vite can't fix though.
I also picked up love & beauty Fuchsia yesterday, a very springy hot pink jelly, using that color as an accent to break up the blue.
I really like this mani, it reminds me of chillin' in a hot pink bikini in a shimmering pool
Obviously, summer can't get here soon enough, lol.Besides Green Ocean and Fuchsia, this week's haul also includes a vintage Gucci sweatshirt. I can't wait to pair this with my favorite leggings, a gold dookie chain, and some fresh kicks.
