Kuchen's Claws: Swatch: Emily De Molly

Hi again

A quick swatchpost today with the lovely Emily de Molly "Monet's Garden". When I saw this at a private seller on facebook I new I had to have it even though I was much in doubt if I would like it or not. It is not a base color that suits me generally I think but the name lead me back to my childhood where I saw Monet's garden and his pictures in books and television. My father was very fond of the style and made our own garden a combination of Monet's garden and a English traditional garden with lovely flowers everywhere. So it had some sentimental value. I still dream about one day being able to visit Monet's Garden, and maybe I will some day.

Now about the polish itself:

This is a auquatic turquoise jelly with both green and a lighter yellowish green holographic hex glitters in three sizes. There is matte big yellowish green glitters and pink ordinary smaller glitters. A little to blue I think to be a garden, but when thinking of some of Monet's paintings and ways of catching colors by light I guess Monet would have though this was a great representation. In some lights it looks very green and in some very blue - so you could say that the green light makes it the trees, bushes and flowers, and the blue makes it the pond with the water-lilys and their leaves.

In the pictures I only captured it in the turquoise-blue color the daylight gave it, but it is more complex than the photos gives it credit for.

Aplicationwise it was a little chunky with all the glitters and a base that demanded at least three coats, so I was very careful that the glitters didn't clumped together on the nail but was more evenly spread.
