Bright Seas - Nail Pattern Boldness Flipping Out Hard, Nail-Venturous Floam

I did this as the Halloween gradient challenge as well, but I thought yesterday's green and orange manicure was more fitting, so I'm posting this one today instead.

Top orange glitter: Nail-Venturous Floam]
As mentioned yesterday, Nail Pattern Boldness provides full coverage in two coats, so I didn't actually need to use Essence Viva La Green as a base coat. I used Nail-Venturous Floam to build up a darker green gradient towards the tips. As it was rather dense in glitter as well, it was difficult to make the gradient as gradual, but I tried by using very thin coats.

The last two photos are indoor pictures. Taking photos of my nails with thumb included feels awkward to me, so you don't see my thumb often. Relish this rare moment! :P

Flipping Out Hard and Floam actually consist of the same colours. Flipping Out Hard has more yellow glitter, so it looks like a bright neon green, while Floam has more mid-blue glitter, so it looks like a sea-foam green. They are both incredibly dense, and can provide full coverage in two to three coats on their own. I think Floam is more top coat thirsty than Flipping Out Hard.

If you have one and are wondering if you should get the other, I recommend that you do. They're both very pretty and different enough that there's definitely room for both. :)
