Fun fact: the inspiration behind this polish were what my nightmares were made out of. I literally didn't put the inspo pic in my post because the movie Gremlins haunted me and I couldn't sleep! Greta Gremlin, specifically, scared the bejeesus out of me. That being said, I love this polish and I'm just going to pretend it's called Mossy Leaf Pile.

Greta Gremlin: 2-3 coats plus top coat. My pesky index nail has such an opaque free edge that it needed 3. Although my other nails were fine, I did three for consistency. So despite the recurring nightmares, I love this polish! The polish lays smooth but I used top coat so everything shined!
It's like a mossy lime green base, filled with coppery red and gold flakes. There's also bits of greenish shimmer. I REALLY love this!! I'm totally going to be putting this back on for the next two months for autumn. Although the Polish Pickup theme is Mythical Creatures, I can't get over how autumnal this is.

You can see what I mean about those green teal microglitter shimmer flecks. I wouldn't call them glitter because they aren't chunky or textured.

Hi, this is the polish matte. And it is awesome! I want to stamp leaves over this, which is good, because I just ordered a leaf plate!

Oh my goodness, I very clearly remember being young and my brother waking up screaming that Stripe was after him after watching Gremlins at far too young of an age! That being said, this polish matches so perfectly and looks gorgeous! I really like that Cynthia isn't afraid to create polishes with traditionally less popular colours since she knocks them out of the park!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for your spectacular review! Your mani and photos are magnificent! And we apologize for bringing back some scary memories <3
ReplyDeleteI'm not a green polish lover but I think when you matted it the shade became so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove Gremlins - that movie screams of my young childhood. Such a great movie. I love Cynthia's take on it for this box.
ReplyDeleteMossy Leaf Pile looks great on you. ;) LOL sorry the inspiration was a throw back to your childhood nightmares. But the polish is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI like how it looks matte. I loved Gremlins, but I usually don't like scary movies. Bright light! Bright light!!
ReplyDeleteWe named our kitty cat Gizmo from Gremlins! But then, I only watched Gremlins as an adult, so it wasn't too scary for me :)
ReplyDeleteYesss. I need more indies to catch on to the "ugly" green trend. This is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!!! Reminds me of freshly fallen leaves on still green grass!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful swatch. I love this shade of green.
