Three Times the Green
I've been doing quite a few manicure posts lately. Sorry to those readers who are bored by them.
But I wanted to try my new green polishes from Jaztee, and put them on straight away.
Jaz, this mani is thanks to you 
Even though I loved this gorgeous trio of greens in their bottles, I did wonder if I'd find them a bit out there for everyday wear.
Then I realised there was a way to minimise the bling – wear all three at once.
I haven't tried an accent nail before, but this China Glaze Holly-day mani lent itself to two accents - China Glaze Glittering Garland on my ring finger and Kleancolor Holiday Jingle on my pinkie.
I'm not sure if these pictures really do the colours justice, but far from being out there, these greens are quite muted shades and this is actually quite an elegant manicure.
I'd have to say, this manicure is one of my favourites and one I know I'm likely to wear again.
I've also fallen in love with the accent nail concept, and have a feeling they'll be cropping up in many a manicure post to come.
Have you fallen for the accent nail trend too?

Beautiful mani. I’m loving nail accents too
I love an accent nail, particularly glitter ones or a different, complementary colour. Love this mani! x
this looks great kiki! who would have thought that green nails would look so fabulous and wearable!
I dig the accent nail, but I find that people ask me if I accidentally did one the wrong colour’ all the time!
I have never considered doing an accent nail – love the idea. I think it works particularly well with your colours because the accent isn’t crazy different.
These look fantastic on you! Love the accent nail and how they all mesh nicely together. Very wearable.
Love it!
I LOVE the China Glaze Glittering Garland. Where can we buy this brand from? x
Mikaela – I’ve heard you can get China Glaze in Price Attack now, and also at some chemists. I either buy off ebay, or if there’s a few you want you can buy online at Transdesign or 8ty8.
Wow I love all these nail colours all together on you. I haven’t tried the accent colour yet…hopefully soon.
Sassandspice – Give it a go! It’s a lot of fun and a great way to wear the polishes that might be a bit of overkill or too out-there for work on all your nails.
Loving the green, my fave colour on nails!

Cindy – Thanks! I will get onto that soon
I’m loving your pinkie finger accent! Looks amazing.
I have been getting a bit into green lately since I bought China Glaze Holly-Day, it’s so fun to wear!
Oh and for the record – I love the nail polish/manicure posts

Melinda – I admit I’d never have bought Holly-Day for myself so I’m very lucky to have won this because I love wearing it too. Glad you like the mani posts – thanks!
