Nails I Love
GLITTER GAL
– Lizard Belly
Hi Goddesses
Another gem from
LLAROWE, this is Lizard Belly, a holo dark green.
This is just not the
sort of colour I would ever, but something about it, maybe the name, maybe its
chameleon (ha ha) like nature, I don’t know …
Lizard Belly is a
super intense green. First, this is an
extraordinary green. It’s super dark,
and there is no warmth in it whatsoever.
It’s like a sea of forest pines, shivering in winter – this has a very
cold edge.
The holo in it also
leans blue, again emphasising the cold heart of the colour. There are echoes of teal and petrol in there
too, but this is pure, dark, evil green.
I really love the
holo in this one. Totally linear, it
perfectly compliments the base colour and stays in the yellow-green-blue
spectrum, giving it a narrower range, bur making it more effective at the same
time.
In my mind, I’m
scrolling through other dark greens I’ve owned, and nothing comes close to
this, not even OPI’s Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow. It’s a very precise balancing act that has
been achieved here – green sooooo dark, yet still sooooo green. This never leans to black or blackishness,
just cold watermelon rind green.
In the bottle, this
does look slightly different – it has a charcoal colour with flashes of light
(like an intense thundercloud) but on the nail, it’s all about the green.
This is one of those
rare indefinable polishes that is worth owning just for the attention you get
from it, but there is nothing that can detract from the petrol blue-green heart
of this heartless, hollow holo.
Enjoy! J
