Only problem is that I discovered Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear brushes are TERRIBLE and make applying polish a witch, so I gave up on trying to make it look perfect. Not sure how long the manicure will last b/c I've never used one of these flakie polishes before. I took a photo of it:



I smudged out the background lol because I couldn't be bothered to find a blank background. Apologies for the lack of intensity on the part of the gunmetal color. I couldn't be bothered to do more than 2 coats of the Sally Hansen because the brush was annoying. It looks more intense irl because this was taken under artificial lighting.

I don't think I would layer Green Ocean over the Irish Green color. The contrast looks a lot better than I think it would if you layered it over a green color.

FLAKIES OMG!! I need this.

You know, I didn't really like that color in the bottle, but it looks amazing on top of the dark base!  Now I actually want it!

This is why I sometimes miss living in NY. I could NEVER find the good stuff in Houston...

I envy you all who found it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I too miss NY!  I couldn't find it in my walgreens here! This sucks!

I really like the Irish Green, although it seems it looks nicer in the bottle. Even after a few coats, I cant believe how thin it is.

Kris, Green Ocean isn't a glitter, it's a flakie, so it shouldn't give you too many problems to remove.

That manicure I did last week actually took me half an hour to remove, lol. After that ordeal I went out to buy a bottle of pure acetone to use in the future.

I did a mini-review - including a video - of it on my blog.

I dislike the Green Ocean since it's so thick, beautiful color in the bottle but yuk on the nails. The Irish Green takes way too many coats to get a good pop of color unless you use a black nail polish under it or a darker green.
