I've been anxiously waiting the delivery of my latest Tonic order, the spring collection and some limited edition polishes, and had the whole mani planner as soon as I saw this beautiful green, and it was definitely the first to go on my nails!
You'll Move Mountains - a glowing emerald shimmer
As usual with Tonic polishes, they're really pigmented and cover well - I used two coats and glossy top coat.
Since this is an LE polish - it was made for Lindsey's (the maker) son's bday - it won't be around forever! It's still currently in stock, so get it if you want it, while you still can!
Add some light and watch it glow!!
I always struggle with pictures outside of the lightbox I use, but I'm pretty happy with how these came out, and I hope they better convey this color!
For the art, I applied lilies of the valley with reverse stamping. Lily of the valley and lilacs are my favorite flowers, and I was happy to see the image on a CreativeShop stamping plate 60.
I grabbed some random green and white polish that was hanging out on my desk and made the decal, but set it aside for weeks while I waited for the Tonic polish to arrive. Sometimes I get fixated on specific images pairing with certain polishes, and end up putting off my planned designs until I have both pieces..I think I'm happiest with those ones!
Unfortunately, by the time I was actually applying my decal, I realized one wasn't enough and I should use two - but the random green wandered off my desk, and I had to use something different..I hope the difference isn't too noticeable... What I was happy about, is that my decal had survived spending weeks on a stamper head! I did not add any clear coat when I first made it, just the filled in colors, so when I topped it off with clear, it was really pliable and behaved well when I applied to the nail.
And that is it for the mani! I hope you enjoyed! I have a lot more Tonics that I am happily putting on already, I just have to remind myself to actually blog about them!
