Lucky rainbow

Happy St Patrick's day!
OK so that was yesterday (Aussie time) but I was too busy to post this last night (no I wasn't out partying, I was swatching and cataloging polish)
Green is my favourite colour and I have so many green polishes I wanted to wear for St Patrick's day but couldn't decide.  Then Glitter Gal Cosmetics posted on facebook that they were looking for the best green nails for St Patrick's day using any Glitter Gal green polish.  I only have one of their greens so far, the famous Lizard Belly, but it was on my list of greens for the day so I was happy to whip it out for some quick nail art.

Lizard Belly is a very dark green holo, so dark it's almost black but more flattering for my skin tone than black.  It's smooth, shiny and wonderfully opaque. I started with 2 coats for my background then painted a lucky rainbow across my nails complete with gold coins at each end. 



I used some 2 way nail art pen/brushes I got from ebay for the rainbow (over white) and BYS Pot of Gold for the coins.

Of course it rained all day yesterday so I couldn't see the Lizard Belly holo rainbows.  Today it's been raining again with occasional breaks of sun so I've been running outside with the camera each time to try and get some photos of the holo in action. 
See that green in the background, that's the grass.  All the rain is great for the lawn.  I love it when it's lush and green.
