Green Overload

So I pulled out all my green polish bottles to get ready for St. Patrick's Day and it occurred to me, I have A LOT of green polish. I mean, I know green is my favorite color, but it's startling to see it all laid out in front of you. So I posted this picture to my nail polish group to giggle over my collection.

And then I thought, could I somehow use ALL my greens in one mani? After dismissing several ideas on how to do that, I opted for simple lines. The original plan was lines on middle and ring and dark green or black on index and pinky, but I soon ran out of space on my nails and if I was gonna use all my greens I needed all my nails. The thumb is the only one that has repeat colors. I put down a basecoat of white so some of my paler greens would stand out better. Then with a detail brush I went to town! 2 hours and 31 polishes later:

I'm thinking of adding some gold stamping to it. Maybe shamrocks? Oh and I just did my left hand. By the time I finished my right hand it was 2 am and I was tired. Left hand just got a coat of Sally Hansen "Emerald City" and Chain Glaze "Running in Circles"

And for those of you who want to know what all the colors are, I'll put it behind the jump because there is a ton of them.
