Lights of Emerald City over Grape, Set, Match

This is a quick post today.  I'm using Lights of Emerald City over OPI Grape, Set, Match.  I almost used Funky Dunkey, but switched last minute.  Grape, Set has a slight duochrome shimmer that pairs better with LOEC.  I'm really happy with the 4 colors I bought from the Oz collection.  I've used all 4 multiple times.  Considering all the untrieds I have in my collection that is really saying something.

I prefer using Lights of Emerald City and also When Monkeys Fly over jewel tones and bright colors instead of the soft shades they were originally paired with.  Have you tried these polishes and what polishes do like pairing them with?

Lights of Emerald City

Oh my, another month is gone and a whole bunch of pictures are in my camera waiting to be posted.  Hopefully I'll be able to get everything up this month.  I'm still having trouble with my computer uploading pictures to my blog.  I have to toggle between the laptop and Ipad.  Which resulted in my extensive February Haul post being deleted TWICE.  I didn't have time to rewrite it again.  What happened was that I was writing the post on my laptop and emailing the pictures to the Ipad to be inserted.  Even though the writing was saved, the pictures kept deleting everything that came after where that picture should be.  The pics show up scripted on the Ipads Blogger app and mixed in with what I write.  I have to save to keep the pictures in and then hit refresh on the laptop.  Once I do that, the Back button won't bring my writing back.  Anyway, shows how much I know about computers. 

Today I am home sick and can't get much done except maybe my nails and a post to go with it.  I am using OPIs Lights of Emerald City from the new Great and Powerful Oz collection.  I got this one and When Monkeys Fly.  
I tried LoEC over a purple initially and it reminded me of the lantern scene from Disneys Tangled.  The second attempt is over 2 coats of Who the Shrek are You? (OPI) and a coat of Milani 3D holographic in Hi-Tech.  I wanted it to look like "The Lights of Emerald City"  but it looks more like a field of dandelions to me.  Which is fine.  It's perfect for Spring.

 
I used 2 coats of LoEC.

 


 
 
I'm not sure if my pics are blurry or it's just me.  I can't see from my left eye clearly today and everything just looks hazy.  I didn't edit my pictures either.  *note- I added 3 more edited pictures.  They look kind of blurry also.  I took indoor and outdoor. 
 
Another note- the pictures loaded from the laptop after four attempts.  It always says server failed.
