Holly Jolly Green Midget

I know, another green so soon?  Don't blame me - blame Ulta and their 20% off your purchase coupon.

But since that has expired, you can use that time to get off your couch/computer chair, and go VOTE!  Don't be one of those "my vote won't count because my state turns ____ every year anyway."  Yes it does!  Go!

Back to the business at hand...I added a few to my stash on Sunday, and Butter London's Jack the Lad was one of them.  I'm a sucker for most glitters, but this one is beautiful right there in the bottle.  A mix of green/gold/turquoise and sparkle, I snapped it up and when I got home, I compared my swatch sticks to find a perfect base.

Zoya Ray and Butter London Jack the Lad

Beautifully simple in the shade...

...and fiery green genius in the sun.  Shield your eyes from the awesome!

Zoya Ray is an absolutely flawless pine green that's almost imperceptibly dark in the shade.  It's got just a touch of frost in the light, and it's forest color really comes through in the sun.  I did two coats of Ray on all fingers, and it only took one of Jack the Lad to highlight my index and middle fingers.  It makes a really beautiful tonal match, pairing the two together.

Just another danger free combination from two of my favorite people (and animal!) friendly polishes.
