I have too many pictures. Consider yourselves warned! :)
This is two coats of Revlon ColorStay Rain Forest. No top coat.
Application wasn't great - I don't love the brush and the formula was a little thick.
I forgive it, though, because it's so freaking gorgeous!
Check out all the yummy glass-flecked shimmah.
How could you not love this?
I found it at CVS with other new ColorStay polishes. I was lucky enough to get them buy one get one half off, too.
This was my Christmas mani, so I added some gold glitter to pep it up.
I used one coat of Inglot 207 over top.
I put a coat of Revlon's ColorStay top coat over it all, and then a coat of the new Sally Hansen Diamond Flash.
The Diamond Flash dries to the touch pretty quickly, but does seem to take a while to completely dry on me (longer than I like). I also got a few bubbles, which is never good!
I will say that once everything was completely and totally dry, it was rock solid!
I have to thank my online nail polish buddies for helping me come up with this combination. I was feeling overwhelmed with choices, and they recommended this one.
Thank you! I loved it!
What did you wear for Christmas? I have to say that I'm particularly fond of my pedicure combo - it's Zoya Ivanka topped with Diamond Cosmetics Chunky Red Glitter. It's so festive and reminds me of elves. :D

That polish is SO gorgeous, holy crap. I think I need to buy it ASAP.
Would you mind elaborating more on what the brush issues were?
That is a gorgeous green, and a great shine for not having a top coat. Me want.
That's a really nice green! And I love it with the gold on top!
florence - it's definitely worth it! I just felt that the quality of the brush could have been better. It wasn't horrible or anything, just a little bushy and the bristles weren't cut perfectly on the ends, making it slightly challenging to maneuver around the cuticles. I hope this helps some! :)
Anita - isn't it great? It's so shiny and smooth on its own!
Lindsey R - thank you!
Oh, I love that green!!!
Big help! Thanks a lot Lauren! I wound up buying Rain Forest this weekend & I'm itching to wear it. That green is droolworthy.
I am so super happy that I nabbed Rain Forest! It's gorgeous! I was super bummed when I saw that brush though. What were they thinking? It's like a mini version of those CSM paddle brushes, urgh. I don't know how I feel about the new bottle either. But the polish is gorgeous and that's what counts the most! :) I love how you layered it! Green and gold, so beautiful! <3
amazing manicure and nail polishes!!!
