When God created Adam and Eve, they were without sin. He gave them a lush paradise, the Garden of Eden, as their home. God told them they could eat anything in the Garden they wanted, except the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil; if they ate the fruit, they would die. Satan, in the form of a serpent, approached Eve and told her that if she and Adam ate the fruit, they would not die but would become like God. Eve looked at the fruit...it looked tasty, it was pretty, and it would make her wise like God. She and Adam ate the fruit and immediately knew they had sinned against God. Poison Envy is inspired by Adam and Eve's desire for something they could not have.
Of course, we always associate envy with the color green. Poison Envy is a slightly blue-leaning ivy green linear holo. Hmmm, and if you think about it, the holo makes it look a bit on the reptilian side too. But don't let that deter all you snake haters! It's quite harmless, if you call staring at your nails whilst driving harmless. :)
I used 2 perfect, buttery coats of Poison Envy for full, drag-free coverage. :) I'm really loving the hint of blue in this delicious dark green. And I'll leave you all with a food reference most apropos!

Liz has done such an amazing job capturing the essence of each story in these polishes! You really do wear these deeper shades beautifully, Mel. And no, not poisonous but drinking it is probs ill advised, lolol. XD
ReplyDeleteLOL...and YES, Liz is so talented. That's why I'm so crazy about all these...they were so thoughtfully conceived. And thanks for the lovely compliment. <3
DeleteOooooh I love that apple photo! It's such a great background to play off the contrasting shade of green. **swoon**
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl!! Isn't that green to die for? or maybe to envy a whole bunch?? :P
DeleteI LOOOOVE that you posted with the apple. You are just too cool for words.
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of the angle! I tried that once and it was all wrong, lol.
DeleteIn case it makes you feel better, my poor wrist was killing me later... :P
DeleteThanks Essie! <3 I tried my best to choose a photogenic apple!!
DeleteOMG this color is amazing. I love the apple pic, too. So appropriate. :)

DeleteWhat a beautiful green and that scattered holo indeed adds a mysterious and tempting dimension to Poison Envy and I join the band, I love the apple photo :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you! <3 I think it's an unusual green, yet oh so tempting. :D
DeleteOooh that is just gorgeous! And your last pic with the apple is so cool... I dunno, there's just something awesome about posing with food, if you ask me. :)
ReplyDelete~ Yun
LOL...I love food. I was rather particular about my choice of apple, too, because all apples are not created equal. :P And yes, the polish IS gorgeous!
