Colour - Green

Ray is a discontinued polish but can be described as a dark blackened pine green with smooth, delicate silver and green frost shimmer. 

Envy is gorgeous, not sure why they say it has barely perceptible shimmer as they list the finish as cream? and I dont see any shimmer at all in the bottle, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Envy also stamps.

Ray is gorgeous, the shimmer is quite shy though, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Ray does stamp but probably best over a lighter colour.

I did cut down my nails, I have a large pair of nail clippers I use, I dont put the clippers over the nail and cut though, I clip at the nail side then work across, because I had the breaks I couldnt file them down they would have just snapped. As long as the clippers are super sharp and you go from the side of the nail you shouldnt break the nail off.

Elphie is so gorgeous, I love the tone of this green with the brighter green sparkles, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat.

Evvie I love, the grey undertone to this is so different to other greens, a great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, if you notice my ring and little finger have weird texture, its because I now have 3 breaks on the nails on my right hand, so unfortunately I'm going to have to cut my nails down, maybe today or tomoro.
