Ladies, help me choose nail polish for a St Paddy's Day fest this weekend! I will be wearing all the tacky plastic shamrock shit the grocery store will sell me (plus green eyeshadow). Here are the contenders (from left to right):

ILNP - Reminisce
ILNP - 1UP
Cirque Colors - High Society
Cirque Colors - Mood Ring (magnetic)
Cirque Colors - Ethel
Orly - It's Not Rocket Science
Sinful Colors - Calypso

Which one should I go with?

Mood ring!!

My vote is third from the right, Cirque Colors - High Society. I think that feels both spring and St. Patrick-y.

They're great colours. I've carefully considered and Ethel might go well with paddy's day mascots, bunting, clothing etc and it's a cheerful colour. However the ILNP are really great colours. So any of those!

Yeah I really love Ethel and was secretly hoping it would get more love, haha... but the ILNP ones seem to be pretty popular!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's a great colour... is you wanting people's to pick it just you love it or a gut instinct? If it's a gut instinct I say pick it!

Just that I love it and I don't think I give her the attention she deserves. I have over 300 nail polishes (yikes!). But I'm thinking I'll get a pedi with Ethel next week, and use the two ILNP colors for my St Paddy's mani.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 8 hours ago

Love that idea its best of both worlds. And 300 nail varnishes is a great thing... if you were an artist with 300 types of paint you'd be admired for it. This should be no different!

The 1st looks like the best match but I would lean towards Mood Ring because if is more fun. What does your inner leprechaun say?

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 17 hours ago

I do love Mood Ring! She says a different green on each finger and toe (which I could do because I have like 40 green polishes) but I'm trying to streamline things haha

If it's going to be cold out, I'd choose a darker green. But if you're somewhere warm, the brighter greens would be fun!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 11 hours ago

Ooooh good point... the darkness is perfect for a cold day

[–] UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If it was me I would go alternating between the two ILNP polishes.

Now I need more nail polishes 😅

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Most people seem to like those two polishes the best. I think this idea is the winner! ☘️

[–] UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago

Post it when you're done!!!

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I really like this idea!
