Summer's Summer Nails- Week 1

So now that school is officially out, I have decided to let my daughter, Summer,  experiment with her nails. She is only nine so there won't be anything elaborate or crazy...and there definitely won't be any red (for more on that click here). But she really enjoys nail color, so I figured that this would be the best time for her to experiment.

This past week, I had to get two new "knock sensors" replaced in my truck in order to pass the Emissions test (insert all types of expletives here for my true sentiments). So my daughter and I brought nail polish (along with multiple electronics, magazines, etc.) to the shop since we were going to be there for several hours. I told her that she could pick any color that she wanted. This is what she chose:

Pink and green, of course. The pink is Essie in Status Symbol and the green is Revlon in Emerald City (I actually did a review of Emerald City here).

Can't wait to see what she selects next week!...Besos, P&P. 

Polish Change: Revlon in Emerald City

"Emerald City." Doesn't that just sound like a fab color for a nail polish? Well, guess what? It is!

I picked up "Emerald City" along with another polish at CVS (post coming soon) because Revlon was buy one get the second half off. I initially picked up the polish because it was blue yet green yet shiny. I couldn't figure out the color. When I saw the name- that was a wrap for me. Being a May baby, I love anything emerald- gems, emerald cut diamonds, nail polish. On top of that, the fact that it was named Emerald City gave me a warm feeling inside as I started thinking about one of my favorite movies, The Wiz. (Pause for moment of nostalgia)... This color would've looked fabulous on good witch, Glinda (RIP Lena Horne).

The polish went on easy. I used two coats of it but it was so full that I didn't necessarily need to do so. And it's definitely green (not blue at all even though it looks it in the bottle)- emerald green. And it shimmers just like an emerald. Check out my pics:
