Growing Green - Vegetables and Veggie Nail Art
Hi friends! I'm Courtney from Polished Lifting. When Sarah asked me to do a guest post in her Earth Day blogger series I was thrilled to have the opportunity to talk about how I try to make green choices in my life. This post could have gone a variety of ways but I decided to focus on vegetables.

In the past I've done my best to buy local produce to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions used to transport my food. This year I'm taking it a step further and I'm planting a full vegetable garden. The idea is that over time I'm going to try my best to grow most (if not all) of the vegetables I eat. This means I can enjoy fresh veggies straight from the garden that don't have to travel more than a few hundred feet. If you've ever done a side by side taste test with a store bought tomato versus a fresh tomato you know delicious home grown veggies are! So while part of my motivations are based on lowering emissions, a good chunk of them are because I love fresh vegetables. It's really a win/win in the end.

This entire look uses Top Shelf Lacquer cremes (these are press samples) from her upcoming Nouveau Cremes collection. A few of the colors are custom blended to give the look a little more depth. For the onion I created two additional colors in the yellow family, the peas in the pod were a custom blend, and the tiny radishes were custom mixed.
Products used
- Maniology - Kawaii Emoji BM-XL322 (use COUTR10 for 10% off)
- Top Shelf Lacquer - Blanc, Jaune, Noir, Orange, Rogue, Vert
- Vibrant Vinyls - Fast & Hard Top Coat
