Emerald Green Acrylic Nails Novels & Stories

Hannah Viona and I stepped out of the nail salon, freshly manicured and ready to take on the world—or at the very least, a tedious dinner engagement with my soon-to-be ex-husband and his would-be mistress. “That color looks perfect on you,” Viona said, admiring her glossy pink nails as we strolled down the street. “And they’re so… long.” I hummed in agreement as I admired my own nails. I usually kept my nails clipped relatively short with nude or pink polish, but lately… that just didn’t feel like me anymore. This time, I had gone for deep crimson, almond-shaped acrylics. And I was glad I did.

"It's just some cheap glass cuts that look like they came from a beer bottle. I'll pay you 100 thousand at most." I ran my fingers along the bracelet, smiling at his ignorance. "This bracelet is a flawless, vivid green. It was crafted from top-grade emerald. Mr. Latham, you might want to check the price of emerald first. I can assure you that 100,000 probably wouldn't even buy you a single karat."

As if on cue, there was yet another knock on the door. “I’m glad you asked!” Cleo said, hopping up to answer the door yet again. She came back into the room holding yet another tray, this time filled with candy. “Help me move the table ladies, it’s time for mani pedis!” Before long, the three of us were sitting equally comfortable in a row on the large couch in Elliott’s sitting area, our feet being massaged and gently placed into large containers filled with hot, soapy water. We each were given a chart of available colors and I was beyond ecstatic to see what my nails would look like with actual color on them. Emma was lost in her choices while Cleo sat in the middle and offered her input,

he dismisses Emerald’s concerns. A servant girl enters with a huge bag. It turns out that it's workout clothes in all different colours. Malachite has a pretty green; Ruby and Garnet each receive a set in red, different shades though. Mine is gold. It’s too much. I don’t want to be the centre of attention.

Lily hopped off the bed. "Anyway, as I was saying earlier... about homecoming. Since you know Jason is going to be out of commission for a while, we should totally go together. I found this incredible dress... It's emerald green, total shimmer... and I was thinking you could rock a silver one. It has an open back. We could totally do matching nail art, too. I've been practising these little geometric designs." Alright, could Lily not? I stared blankly at the bowl of soup, the steam swirling up into my face.

The ballroom was a sea of shimmering silk and low, quiet murmurs. Thousands of crystals in the chandeliers caught the light, but the heaviest thing in the room was resting right against my neck. The "Cursed" Emerald felt unnaturally cold. It was a dark, deep green that seemed to drink in the light rather than reflect it. Every time I passed a mirror, I caught a look at myself. I looked powerful, but I felt like I was standing on a trapdoor.

Ruby raised an eyebrow, her bold, red lipstick standing out against her smooth, caramel-colored skin. "Modest? You're like a walking nun. Let me help you pick something out." She pushed past me and started flipping through the dresses, her long, manicured nails clicking against the fabric. "Ah, here we go. This one is perfect." She pulled out a dress that was a stunning shade of emerald green, with delicate lace trim and a fitted bodice. The dress sparkled in the light, catching my eye. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the dress's bold design.

Right now, I was surrounded by ladies I see in the pack, but do not know them and that I had barely associated with. It was all going to change when I finally become the Lady of the house. The Luna of the Nightwing pack. Fuss was made over my nails of what nail polish color would fit perfectly on it. I let them make the fuss cause I did not care much about it. I just wanted to be linked arm in arm with my groom and tell him ' I do'. They finally decided on a chic blue nail polish coupled with a glitter lacquer polish for design. It did turn out great and my toe nails were given a nude nail polish color after minutes of a nice pedicure.

Opening it revealed two stunning green gemstones nestled inside, Emeralds. Clyde had gifted me numerous jewels, all of them diamonds. My collection seemed to lack a single Emerald, it was like the forgotten gem. "Wow, Natali! These are incredible. Keep it a secret, but emerald has always been my favorite gem. Look at the color alone," I exclaimed in awe. She smiled and carefully pinned each earring onto me. As she turned me toward the mirror, I marveled at how beautifully the stones sparkled, they were cut with such exquisite craftsmanship.

For the next two weeks, I only have the Abercrombie project. “Next week, Thursday, is good. Do you have any ideas about what you’d like?” I reach into my purse and grab a notebook, then turn to face her. She looks around for a minute. “Something neutral but with a pop of color. I really like emerald green with a hint of gold.” I nod my head as I jot down notes. “I’m into modern furniture, so that would be lovely.” “Ahh, anything el—” I look up slowly as her hand trails along my legs.
