Walking down Memory Lane with Manhattan: Emerald Green
Emerald green with metallic shimmer

Manhattan is a German brand that I always check out when I’m on holiday. I bought many of my Manhattan polishes in Germany, but I am pretty sure that I bought today’s polish in Hungary. It has been about eight years since I wore it last. Manhattan is not an expensive brand, it’s reasonably price, they have a nice range of colours and finishes so I always check out the displays when I am on holiday.

Anyway, despite the fact that this polish is probably ten years old, it’s still got a great formula and hasn’t thickened over the years. I used two easy coats for full opacity and the drying time was good.

I made a yellow “blob” on each nail and placed a white floral nail sticker on top of the yellow. Then I topped the whole thing with topcoat.

This is the end result:

The shimmer in this polish is really great.

This is “Emerald Green” alone; two coats and no topcoat. Isn’t that just gorgeous?

It’s really nice to rummage through some of the drawers in the Helmer and find some of all the little gems that are stashed away like this one.

Sky blue metallic shimmer

Today I'm wearing a beautiful sky blue metallic shimmer from Manhattan.

The formula is good and it requires two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is really good.

I applied a thick stripe of blue microglitter from Color Club: "Bougie Baby". It didn't show much because of all the bling from the metallic shimmer in the Manhattan polish. I made two lines of pink dots in the stripe of microglitter. I used Moyra's #83 for that.

I put a little yellow butterfly sticker on my ring finger nail, topped it all with topcoat and my nails were done.

I love this, also even though the microglitter doesn't make a big deal of itself on the shimmery blue background.

This is Manhattan #101S alone; two coats and no topcoat. The shine and bling is amazing!
