Let's Talk: Pop-Arazzi Nail Polish in Emerald Ice

Happy New Year, Y'all! I truly hope every one of you has a wonderful 2017!

Speaking of new year, Pantone has decided the color of the year is Greenery.

I'm sure many of you are saying, "Who is Pantone and why do they get to decide color of the year." Well, I like to call them the "Keeper of the Colors." They decide what's the standard for a certain color and all its relatives. If you'd like to know more of who they are and the color of the year, click here.

So, I love the color green and all its shades, and what better way to celebrate it than on your fingernails! I picked up this neat pearly green from CVS' Pop-Arazzi called Emerald Ice. Pop-Arazzi is exclusive to CVS stores, and replaced their original exclusive nail polish called Spoiled. It's pretty cheap, normally selling for $2.99, but you can almost always find a deal on them for much less at CVS. Click here to see some of the other colors online.

This isn't the same color that Pantone chose for Color of the Year, so I don't want you to be as confused as a cow on AstroTurf! But, it is green and pretty.

One Coat

Two Coats

While I do like this color and think it looks really pretty by itself, it started chipping almost immediately. I did used a base and a top coat, but that didn't seem to help much. I have a few other colors from Pop-Arazzi and will have to see if this brand chips easily or if it is just the color I chose.

I did do some nail art over this around Christmas time, and it lasted about 5 days. What I did here is had a base coat, two coats of Emerald Ice, and then put on a Matte Top Coat. After that, I dotted white and red all over the nails. I think it was pretty cute, don't you think?

Christmas-y Nails 😁

So, I have to say it's not the best, but it ain't the worst, either.

Y'all be safe and look forward to more posts in 2017!!!
