Spell Polish ~ Toe of Frog
Olive
Green with gold and purple undertones and a matte finish
My Spell Collection is slowly growing. I started out with two, and now
I’ve got three more – all of them received in monthly packages from Norway
Nails.
Toe of Frog is olive green – not a colour I’d normally chose. But it’s
nice to be forced outside the comfort zone once in a while!
The polish looks thin in the bottle, but it only took two coats to make
it opaque. It dries up to a silky matte finish, that’s quite easy on the eyes.
Here’s two coats and no topcoat in my lightbox:
It’s hard to see the shimmers that are going on, but you can see them if
I turn on the flash for you:
That’s pretty, yes? And the polish also changes character when a shiny
topcoat is added – I like it much better with topcoat. That’s how it usually is
for me with mattes – I love shiny things, so topcoat usually makes them
prettier for me. Here’s what it looks like with topcoat:
And a low light picture:
I wanted to make this mani fun! I found my little box of fimo fruit
slices, found a bunch of green(ish) fruits and stuck them onto my nails with
topcoat. I love this end result:

Every bottle of Spell Polish comes with a little card with a rhyme on. Here’s
the card that came with Toe of Frog:
Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Average
Drying time: Average
Finish: Matte with shimmer.
Really comes to life with a topcoat
Buy again: I’m not sure,
mostly because olive isn’t my colour

Now the mani looks so edible that I want to eat it :D Kiwi juice, this nail polish is :D
ReplyDeleteKiwi juice, that's a brilliant thought! :D
DeleteHmm outside my usual colour palette but interesting. I love fimo fruit it's just too cute.
ReplyDeleteI bought the fimo fruits really cheap in Germany and I am so pleased with them! :)
DeleteI just decided that the should sell fimo canes sliced in a curve. Cause most peoples nails have at least some curve :)
ReplyDeleteI think that's an excellent idea! That would make me wear them more often :D
DeleteIt looks amazing in the 2nd photos! And I love the addition of the fimos :-)
ReplyDeleteThe flash really makes this polish show its prettiest side for sure :)
DeleteToe of Frog is such a fun name - and you nails are ready for a drink now :D
ReplyDeleteThey are - make it a big one with lots of fruits hanging off the edges :D
DeleteUsually I don't like olive nail polish but this looks so nice! Great finish, too!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really interesting finish for sure :)
DeleteLove that green!
ReplyDeleteIt would look amazing on you! :)
