Barry M Racing Green

First of all, what the heck is racing green? Is it a green that's used specifically for racing? Is it a green that races?

I'm about to fall asleep right here in front of the computer. I ended up getting to this post later than I expected because I was watching Sherlock Holmes on tv. Love that movie. It's pure genius. Also, my dad was hogging the computer from the moment he finished dinner.

Racing Green is a blue-based green jelly (?) base with yellow-based green shimmer. You can't see the difference in color between the shimmer and the base in the photos, but it was more obvious in real life. I'm not a huge fan of greens but this one was lovely. At first I questioned (to myself) why my aunt bought this but then I realised.. this is awesome :D

I did a thin first coat followed by a thicker second. I almost forgot how many coats I did until I saw the number on my flickr. All pictures taken in daylight unless otherwise stated. If you see any bald spots or anything like that, they weren't visible in person.

Blogging seems to be a bit more time-consuming now that I have to wait for the opportunity for nobody to be there to watch me as I blog, since I'm using the desktop computer now because my laptop sucks and a couple of the keys are starting to need extra effort just to be pushed. I've also been taking a billion pictures because I want back-ups in case some didn't turn out so well when transferred to the computer, hence I spend a lot more time picking out photos.

I haven't watched an entire football match since last year. Yup. The ones I want to watch are never on when I turn on the tv. Portugal is set to face Argentina soon.. I really want to watch that!

Goodnight!

  4. The name comes from this shade of green:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_racing_green

    which is different from this polish (even if there are many greens named like this), but it's known to be the classical colour of british racing cars, used by many british cars manufacturers.

    This polish is pure <3
