St Patrick's Day mani: OPI - Green-Wich Village

I've got some wonderful Irish friends - this is my little tribute to them.

Happy St Patty's Day to you!!

Green-Wich Village is a creme green shade in a very natural tone, and it reminds me of fresh grass.  Yes, I'm wearing grassy green on my nails which isn't too 'in your face' but it's probably not the best green for me.  I prefer greens with a hint of blue and I'll usually go for teals or I'll wear emerald if I want to be chic in green, still I'm enjoying this green because it's just for fun!

Green-Wich Village was part of OPI's Summer 2008 Mod About Brights collection and I've also got a few other shades from that collection in my stash:  That's Hot! Pink and Dating a Royal (both yet to be swatched).  I wish I was good with nail art because I'd have loved to add a four-leaf clover to really make this perfect for today!  This is two coats of colour with top coat:

Have a great day and enjoy drinking your green ale if you're joining in the celebrations!

That's all for now.

      You know, I couldn't leave it alone though. I had to make it a more 'me' kind of green so I've added a little something to make it more blue. Post will be up soon!

    This polish was a lucky buy for me. I bought it from a cosmetic discounter at almost 50% off!

    My future MIL swears by this shade, and I adore it! It is so beautiful. She knocked it off the counter and smashed it, but we found it in duty free last month 2 for $25 so she is happy once more :D
