Emerald Green and Purple manicure: Essie loves Zoya

Another powerful duo: Essie Trophy wife and Zoya Mimi!

If you look at the last 10 nail related blog posts of mine, you'll see that Essie Trophy wife is one of my favorite accent colors. I don't know why, but I'm as inspired by it on its own, it's a bit much, but as a punch of color, luxurious metallic texture - I love it!

Illamasqua Viridian Nail Polish swatches and dupes

I bought this Illamasqua duo at Sephora sale for ~17$(taxes included) and showed you some pictures in the overall review.
Now let's get down to it. Viridian looks like another dark shimmery emerald green, and I immediately thought ot Essie Trophy wife, when I saw it.

Illamasqua Nail Varnish Duo: Viridian & Glitterati

Illamasqua is an intriguing British brand, they thrive on being different, over the top and freaky.

They also claim to be innovative in their formulas and bring the outmost luxury of makeup into women's world. Easier said than done, I suppose. 

The most praised products by Illamasqua that I have seen are blushes and nail polishes. 

Thus I naturally had to grab Viridian/ Glitterati duo, when I came down to 19$ on sale in Sephora (- 20% off using the code EXTRA20).

Ruby Red & Emerald Green Art Deco Nails with Opi and Essie

Here is nice fall-winter option for you, gals!:)

I love this beautiful berry purple shade by OPI "Congeniality is my Middle Name". It has just enough shimmer and tiny silver sparkles that add some intrigue to the finish.

Since I felt very festive and holiday spirit-like, I added a metallic emeral green by Essie "Trophy Wife". I find this combo very rich and art deco looking.Do you?
