Meg is my latest and last addition to the Surf Collection. I have to admit that Meg doesn't scream Summer to me, she reminds me of shiny Christmas wrapping paper. I should put some red dots or something and do a Christmas in July mani. I went to Sally's to pick up some polish of course and the Manager told me she loved it and Meg reminded her of watermelon.
Zoya describes Meg as a light yellow-toned mermaid green with heavy gold and silver metallic shimmer and a sparkling foil finish. A light and fresh looking green with added sparkle and shine. I think of mermaid's as a little more blue, so I would describe it as the color of fresh green grass. It does have a ton of silver to give it the foil look, more so than the other's from this collection.
I loved the Surf Collection and so far I've loved all of the colors. Meg is my least favorite in color and formula. I like the color, I just don't love it. I think I'll put her back on the shelf until December and giver her another try. I didn't get as many brush marks with the other foils from this collection. I did my toes with Meg and they look alot better than my fingers, I did paint them first and with alot more care. My left hand looks better than my right, so I think there was some operator error involved. That's what I get for doing my nails at night after a long day.
I'm not going to give up on Meg just yet. I think she'd be perfect for Christmas, I'll have to experiment with my reds to find the perfect match. I ordered some striping tape from ebay and I'm planning a plaid Christmas mani with the red tape, but I'm thinking maybe a watermelon mani before summer is out. I'm nail art challenged, but I just got my dotting tools and I've got some painter's tape in the garage.
