ABC Nail Challenge, Letter: A

Hey guys! As promised, I'm back today with exciting nail challenge news! I'm going to be participating in the ABC nail challenge, hosted by one of my long-time blog friends, Kimber! This challenge is super simple, once a week you just post a nail look. On the first week, the letter is A, so you post a color/nail art style/brand that starts with A. Next week is B, so you post a manicure for B. And so on. Doing that everyday would be beyond overwhelming, so we're going to do this once a week! If you want to join in, you still can at any time! 

Manicure details: 
- One coat of China Glaze Agro 
- One coat of Sally Hansen Megashine topcoat 




Agro has been a favorite of mine ever since it was released last March for the Capitol Colors collection. The color is a gorgeous shimmery forest green, it almost looks like it is shimmery from within - maybe vageuly holographic? It applies easily and smoothly, just like pretty much any other China Glaze color. The thing I love most about Agro is the fact that it's a perfect, one-coater. You can do two coats, but for me one is perfect. It's already pretty shiny, but when I apply a topcoat on top of it, it  becomes even more of an eye-catcher. I also like this color because it's neutral enough to be office or school appropriate (even though I never abide by that rule), but bright enough to look super unique and pretty. I always get compliments on it.

I promise that not all of these posts will just be nail polish, a lot of them will be nail art, and I will get more creative! I've just been busy with exams this week, but by next week I'm sure I'll have something more unique for you all :)

  3. you know I never would have normally gone for a colour like that (the only green I have is Peacock Green by Models Own and it's much darker) but seeing it on your nails it looks really quirky! Really like your blog btw :) And if you're ever passing through mine, do say hi :D x

  6. Hi, Aly! For some reason, I had your link screwed up, and only now just got it fixed. I ended up going with Agro, too. Great color. Great collection. One of my faves from last year.

    Love the color on you. You're definitely an Agro girl!
