NOTD: Wet n Wild Ocean Grotto Funky French

I thought about titling this "Nubbins Mani #1" to see at what exact point I stop thinking about them as nubbins LOL, but I decided to refrain.  Mom said she thought the french tips made them look even shorter but I actually think a french makes nails look longer, and I prefer it when my nails are short,.  A french just start to look weird when the tip is the same size as the bed of the nail LOL.  So after a certain point in length I stop wearing them much.
 
This was 3 coats of Wet n Wild Ocean Grotto, then I freehanded the tips with WnW Black Creme, then one more coat of OG to give the tips some shimmer.  It looked green in the bottle, more yellow on the nail, but when I put it next to my green dress it matched.  So I'm not sure what color to call it:
 

Green or yellow or somewhere in between, I quite like how it turned out =)  Thanks for reading.

  2. They look great. Even if you don't like this length they're nice and straight and pretty. Definitely not "nubbins " :-)

  7. This length looks lovely on you! I couldn't even grow my nails *that* long, and really I'm amazed you still love long nails the way you do with all of the ouchies they seem to cause! Poor thumb. :(

  10. Your nails are way longer than mine ever are, and you call them nubbins. That's funny.

  13. They're not short lol i can't get mine to grow for all my efforts a few just constantly peel. Your causing me many problems here in the UK as i now spend hours working out how i can afford to ship these polishes to the uk as a lot of them we can't get here or they are really expensive, like 19 dollars for a zoya when i found someone that sold them here.

  14. I love how nice your nails look at this length, but I can understand the frustration of them not being as long as you're used to. Hope the shortening helps them grow healthier as they get long again! Also agree on asking advice on how to freehand french tips :D

  15. Im wearing this color currently. I really like it. I did a gold accent nail and I think it may be to close to the green. My boss asked what I called this color. I said Lime Green, he said it looked putrid. But I love it.

  16. Very good combo! If there would put some rhinestones it would be completely gorgeous!
    Anyway,looks very good.
