The polishes I used are Pretty Serious "VT100", Grace-full Nail Polish "Lyme for a Cure" and Emily de Molly "You're Not That Great". "Lyme for a Cure" is the Limited Edition polish made only for the Lyme Disease Awareness Giveaway" last month, and "You're Not That Great" was also in the prize package. If you haven't already seen my post about this prize that I won, you can check it out below. I also used Pretty Serious "Rock On Strengthener" and Grace-full Nail Polish "Quick Dry Top Coat".

Next I painted my pinkie and my thumb nails with two coats of Pretty Serious "VT 100", which is a beautiful deep-green shimmer polish with micro silver and green glitter, which unfortunately is no longer available. The polish went on really smoothly, and is almost a one-coat polish, but I used two coats for my manicure. The colour is gorgeous, and there is an amazing amount of glitter, which unfortunately was very hard to catch in some of my photos, but here is a macro photo of it that will give you some idea of how lovely it is.

Then I painted my index and ring fingers with Grace-full Nail Polish "Lyme for a Cure". This polish is just beautiful to use, and coverage was fantastic with two coats. I'm so glad I won this prize, because this polish isn't available to others, and the colour is so gorgeous and rich, with so many colours flashing through it I couldn't name them all. It's a beautiful green holo, but unfortunately I was unable to catch its true beauty with my camera. Here is a macro of it, however, which does show some of the colour shift.
Beautiful, isn't it? This is one of the polishes that has completely changed my opinion of using green polish on my nails. I can assure you, I will be using lots more in the future.
The polish I used on my middle nails is Emily de Molly "You're Not That Great", which is a lime green crelly, loaded with holographic lime and turquoise glitter, and blue shimmer. I used three coats because I wanted to get the jelly effect, and the effect is amazing. I don't know why it is called "You're No That Great" because it certainly is great! I found it shifted almost to turquoise on my nails, but still had enough green in it to look great with the other two polishes. Here is a macro shot of it for you to drool over.
This polish is still available, so pop on over to Emily de Molly for a look at some more great photos.
I finished my manicure with one coat of Grace-full Nail Polish "Quick Dry Top Coat". This is the first time I've used this top coat, and I'm very impressed with it. There was no bubbling on any of the polishes, unlike with the OPI "Natural Nail Top Coat" I used for my last manicure. The finish is lovely and glossy, and it flowed on beautifully. I can really recommend it, so pop on over to Grace-full to check it out now.
Now, here are some more photos of my complete manicure, which will show you why I'm so pleased with the result.

Well, that's my manicure for yesterday. I'm really pleased with all the polishes I used, and just love the final result of the combination of these three polishes. I hope you agree, and I would really appreciate any comments you might have.
